Users should carefully consider how much CPU, Memory and hard disk will be available to the Windows OS, this is of course based upon how many cores and memory is available in the MacBook. The Windows partition is configured during the Boot Camp install this is an important step for optimal performance. However, users may not prefer this option since they are not able to run both OS X and Windows at the same time and a reboot is required to gain access to the Mac software.
Running Windows in Boot Camp is a native feature of the Mac OS X operating system, therefore this is the most financially affordable option since there is no additional software to be purchased. In general, the ArcGIS Pro system requirements should be considered best practices no matter if you are running ArcGIS Pro natively within a Windows environment or using the options available for a Mac: īoot Camp is a utility for Macs that allows users to install and run Windows within a separate bootable partition. In general we have found the UX of ArcGIS Pro in these environments is quite good. The Performance Engineering team has begun testing ArcGIS Desktop, including ArcGIS Pro, on the Apple MacBook Pro in order to develop performance benchmarks and configuration recommendations.
In order to assess which option to use, it is important to understand each option, their limitations, then to configure for best performance. The user can install Windows in Boot Camp, a native feature of the Apple Inc.’s OS X operating system, or they can use a virtualization program, such as Parallels or VMWare Fusion. So with VirtualBox you get the best of both worlds - it's free, and it allows you to run both Windows and macOS simultaneously so you can switch between them as required without having to reboot.ArcGIS for Desktop has been developed for Windows Operating systems, but there are many users out there running ArcGIS Desktop on Macs. And while Bootcamp is also a free option, it doesn't let you run macOS and Windows simultaneously (you have to reboot the machine every time you want to switch to the other operating system). While there are other options available (such as Parallels and VMware Fusion), VirtualBox is free. To run Windows on a Mac, you need to use virtualization software such as VirtualBox. Here are the main steps involved in installing Windows on a Mac: This enables you to run Windows-only applications on your Mac. By using VirtualBox, you can install Windows on your Mac. VirtualBox is free software that allows you to install different operating systems on your machine. Here I explain how to install Windows on a Mac using the (free) virtualization software, VirtualBox.
