Hello everyone



I am a new proud user of a Macbook 13 retina from early 2015. Here are the specs:



  • 2560x1600
    • Intel Core i5 2.7GHz
    • 256GB flash
    • 8GB LPDDR3
    • Intel Iris Graphics 6100
    • 802.11ac


For work and gaming reasons, I would like to install windows under a virtual machine. I have tried already a couple of Parallels versions (11.0 and 11.1) and also a couple of Windows 10 versions combined. Nevertheless, sometimes Windows does not recognize the USB sticks that I introduce (PC format) while MAC does perfectly. Also when trying to execute a game, the screen just goes full white and it does not move from there.



My question to you all would be: which version of Parallels and Windows would you recommend me for this specific Macbook Pro? A friend of mine has parallels with windows (on an older MAC version) and none of those problems happen to him, so I assume is a matter of hardware/software compatibility. On the other hand, could it be that is just a matter of not having the right windows drivers installed?



Thanks a lot in advance for your time and possible answers

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), iOS 10.1, Yosemite

Hello, thanks for the quick answer.
The USB indeed, i stick it directly when the virtual machine is on. The name of the game is Age of Empires 2 HD (is already some years old).
Regards

Hello.

As an update, I must say I managed (shomehow) that windows will detect my USB perfectly. Still, the problem when running the game persists. Only a white screen and a sounds everytime I do click on the screen
Thanks in advance!
