I am running Parallels (18.1.1) on an M1 Mac Mini running Ventura 13.0, and with Windows 10 running under Parallels.
I have purchased a Satechi SSD enclosure and 1 TB SSD to add to the Mac Mini as I am running out of HDD space inside the Mac Mini.
With this I am thinking of having Parallels run entirely on the Satechi SSD so I can expand space available considerably from what I currently have setup (The .PVM file is 47 GB).
1. Can I "move" my existing setup of Parallels / Windows in a simple way ?
2. Or, do I ned to create a new installation (assuming this possible) on the Satechi SSD, install Windows on that ?
I am probably a little confused on my thinking as most of the space is taken up by data which I can access from Mac OS or Windows (eg Excel files) and so maybe I will not gain the space I think maybe I will, although some of those files could also get placed on the Satechi SSD as well.
Appreciate both thoughts on this, and guide as to how I should/could do this.
