Good Day All!
New to this forum and hopefully someone can answer a quick couple of questions. First I purchased the Standard Parallels 18 license in November 2022, so I understand, No free upgrade, but is Parallels 19 necessary.
Asking: is Parallels 19 really needed going forward. As info; I'm running a 2020 Mac with a 3.9 Ghz Intel processor, Vega 48 w- 8 GB Video and 72 GB DDR RAM.
My VM is Windows 10, simply because I don't understand how to create a new VM with secure boot for Win 11. Upgrading Windows versions isn't necessarily a big deal, because I currently run very little on the VM, mainly an older versions of Office (Not Office 365) and a genealogy program that's promised to go to a Mac version eventually (but I'm not holding my breath since the promise was ~ 8-10 years or more ago). My MacOS is the latest version of Ventura and eventually I will upgrade to Sonoma. I apologize for the long post, but I wanted to give context and provide my Mac configuration.
Last, I'm retired and popping for a $$ upgrade in less than a year, seems unnecessary unless there are huge compelling reasons? Your thoughts Please????
