    Hi, I am presently running parallels 14 on my 2017 MacBook Pro which is a 4 core i7 with 16GB of Ram and a 512 GB SSD. I have an install of Windows 10 running as a VM and have allocated 8 GB or Ram and 2 cores of the CPU. when I do use the Windows VM on a typical work day ( where I am 95% in Windows) I am wondering if I should be allocating more resources so that the Windows VM gets the maximum performance?
    My alternative would be to use Boot Camp and do an install of windows which would allow me to take advantage of 100% o the resources?

    Any thoughts, or anyone using a configuration that allocates the majority of resources to the VM?

    Thanks,
    Derek
