What programs can I run with VMware Fusion?

VMware Fusion lets you run macOS, Windows, Linux and other x86-based operating systems as virtual machines. Nearly all programs that run on these operating systems will run with VMware Fusion. Programs can range from common productivity suites, like Microsoft Office, to graphics-intensive programs such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks which require DirectX 11, as well as custom applications. Fusion Player and Fusion Pro can both also run containers and Kubernetes clusters with the built-in CLI ‘vctl.’

Can I play 3D games in a virtual machine?

Yes, VMware Fusion 12 has 3D hardware-accelerated graphics support.

For Windows VMs Fusion now supports DirectX 11 (with Shader Model 5.0) and earlier.

For Windows and Linux guests Fusion provides OpenGL 4.1 capabilities.

Fusion uses Apple Metal graphics technology to render 3D hardware-accelerated graphics to virtual machines on compatible Mac systems.

See VMware Fusion system requirements for details.

Do I need Apple Boot Camp to install VMware Fusion?

Boot Camp is not required to run Windows on a Mac with VMware Fusion. However, if you already have Windows installed as a Boot Camp partition, VMware Fusion can easily create a Windows virtual machine based on your Boot Camp Windows installation. This will allow you to run Windows programs side-by-side with your Mac applications without having to reboot your Mac.

Can I migrate Parallels Desktop for Mac virtual machines to VMware Fusion?

Yes. VMware Fusion 12 can import Parallels Desktop for Mac (up to version 15) based virtual machines. Simply launch VMware Fusion, go to the File menu, select ‘Import’, select your virtual machine setting’s file, and click ‘Import’.

Will VMware Fusion 12 slow down my Mac?

When not running virtual machines, VMware Fusion 12 has no impact on your Mac’s overall performance. The impact on performance while running virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes clusters will mainly depend on the type of applications bring run, how many virtual machines/containers are running at the same time, how much RAM is available on your Mac, the speed of your CPU (GHz) and the speed of your storage. SSD-based Macs are recommended for optimal performance

See VMware Fusion system requirements for details.

Can I access and use USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 devices?

Yes. VMware Fusion supports USB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and now 3.1 devices.

Does VMware Fusion 12 support Retina or 6K displays?

Yes, VMware Fusion 12 supports Retina and 6K display Macs for a crisp and detailed experience of your Windows programs. Fusion 12 ensures you get a seamless experience when running Windows across Retina, 4K, 5K, 6K and non-Retina displays.

Can I use multiple displays with VMware Fusion?

Yes, VMware Fusion 12 supports up to 10 displays in both full screen and Unity views.

Can I access Thunderbolt hard drives in Windows?

Thunderbolt ports cannot be directly forwarded to Windows VM’s the same way that USB works. However, you can still access your Thunderbolt hard drives in VMware Fusion by mapping the hard drive to a VMware Shared Folder. Go to the Virtual Machine menu, select ‘Shared Folders’ and select ‘Add Shared Folder’. Select your Thunderbolt hard drive and click ‘Open’ to assign your Thunderbolt disk to the shared folder. To access your Thunderbolt hard drive in Windows, go to ‘VMware Shared Folders’ shortcut on the desktop and select your Thunderbolt hard disk.

How many CPUs can I assign to a virtual machine?

You can assign up to 32 Virtual CPUs to a Fusion 12 virtual machine (requires at least 16 physical cores), so the virtual machine can harness the full power of a Mac using the latest Intel processors. It’s recommended that sufficient resources are not allocated to virtual machines to ensure smooth host operation. For example, on a Mac with 6 cores, it would be unadvisable to assign more than 4 cores to a virtual machine. Application requirements vary, so experiment with your settings to find a balance.

Caution:

Users running ArcGIS Pro on a Mac can leverage Esri Technical Support for questions and troubleshooting. However, all troubleshooting for defects is only performed against certified Windows systems.

Boot Camp allows you to install Windows Desktop OS on a hard disk partition on the Mac hard drive. This allows ArcGIS Pro to run natively on a Windows partition on the Mac. Configuring ArcGIS Pro through Boot Camp is described below, after the minimum hardware requirements.

Note:

Parallels Desktop For Mac 15 Activation Key 2019

Running ArcGIS Pro 2.3 and later on a Windows virtual machine (VM) on MacOS requires Parallels version 15 or later. Earlier versions of Parallels are not recommended with ArcGIS Pro.

Minimum hardware requirements

To use ArcGIS Pro on a Mac, a contemporary Mac (MacBook Pro, iMac, or Mac Pro) with a quad-core Intel processor, 256 GB storage, and 8 GB RAM or more is required.

For hardware requirements for the host machine, see the ArcGIS Pro system requirements. If you cannot view all the specifications for the host machine, you can use the Can You Run It utility to check your system's hardware.

Run ArcGIS Pro natively on a Windows partition (Boot Camp)

Boot Camp allows you to install Windows in a dedicated hard disk partition on your Mac. In this configuration, Windows runs natively, accessing the Mac hardware directly. You can access Windows by restarting your Mac and pressing and holding the Option key while selecting the disk partition that contains your Windows operating system.

The limitation is that you cannot access macOS and its applications at the same time. To access Windows and macOS, you must restart your Mac.

To run ArcGIS Pro in Windows installed natively with Boot Camp, you need your ArcGIS Pro installation files and a Windows installation DVD or disc image (.iso), if you haven't already set up Boot Camp.

The Boot Camp Assistant helps you install Windows in a dedicated hard disk partition. You can access the Assistant from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder in macOS. For more information about Boot Camp, see Apple's Support site.
