parallels - bootcamp

hi i have been using parallels 13 and had a good experience so far.

However, due to the resource consumed by some applications i used in windows, i often see my MBP struggling to run some of these resource intensive apps.
Im trying to look for an alternative options .

Since my usage on this app is very specific to special occasion , Im thinking to install the bootcamp and use this app only when I need to use this app through the bootcamp. When i need to run some other windows apps and mac apps simultaneously, I will use the parallels.

I have seen the article that parallels support running Windows from the bootcamp partition. My question is, when I set up the environment, will it re-create the image file ? basically i will double the disk space used for windows ? or will it just work on the bootcamp partition ?

Second question is, when I run windows through parallels, will the work i saved there will be reflected when I start my windows on bootcamp and vice versa ?

Thanks,

 

Hi ted1.
The answer on your first question: No. For boot camp VM parallels uses data directly from windows partition. No additional disk images created, no data duplication.
The answer on your second question: Yes. Since parallels shares data and programs setup with windows, all your changes will be reflected.
