there has been alot of talk recently ive seen about Virtual Machines on here so i figured it would be nice to have a thread that people can post up there Host and Guest machine setups that way others can benefit from those who have been using these much longer and may have some good insight on certain settings.
Host Machine
Lenovo P71
Windows 10
I7-7700HQ
16gb RAM
500gb HDD x2 RAID 1
500gb m.2 SSD
Guest Machine (installed on the 500gb SSD)
Windows 7 Pro x64
Number of porcessors 1
Number of cores 4
6gb RAM
250gb
performance is OK, but coming from a much older Thinkpad W520 with an mSata ssd for the main drive certain things seem much slower on this VM setup. For example first opening FTVS and then creating an .MER seem pretty sluggish in comparison to my much older machine.
