It is hidden under Advanced options in the Disk configuration of the VM.

Make sure you select the bus type SCSI to have the fastest possible driver (LSISAS1068 driver).

When the disk is created it depends on the bus type that you select how fast it is. But this could be an option if you have only 4GB memory in your Mac but also a fast SSD! Disk Running with less memory will increase the load on the disk significantly. Especially when I run with Skype and Microsoft Outlook for Mac. While adding more than 2GB it runs other applications on the Mac Book into trouble so I saw some strange behaviour and complete hangs. I tried all sorts of memory setups with increments of 256MB. I found that running with 2GB of RAM works the best. With one CPU core, it gets hammered big time and the fan is doing overtime while running with two it load-balances the workloads nicely. While troubleshooting the slow performance, I found that the sweet spot for the number of processor cores is two on my Mac.

Hardware Version 12, with full 3D support enabled.

60GB Disk, split into multiple files, SCSI bus type (It uses 16.7GB atm).

The VM uses hardware version 12 and also has all 3D options activated. I run with a VM with the following specifications:

Note: I haven’t upgraded my Mac OS version due to some software I run to have NTFS on Mac.

Intel Graphics 5000 card with 1536MB memory.

Intel Core i7 Dual Core 1.7GHz Processor.

Uninstalling extra pre-installed software.

To create that fast and responsive Windows 10 VM, the following tweaks have been done: So must be something being used by the VMware SVGA driver that is included in that specific runtime. After tweaking the VM, my MacBook and Windows 10 I could enable 3D support again and go to hardware version 12 but looks like this was resolved due to installing DirectX9.0c runtime. The VMware SVGA driver with 3D support does some strange things and slows down refreshes of the screen if you enable it from the beginning during install. Closing down the VM takes about 26 seconds. The Windows 10 VM now starts in 20 seconds, where login will take approximately 10 seconds and Microsoft Visio can start and be used after 12 seconds. So I am now running a Windows 10 Pro VM on VMware Fusion Pro 8.5.x that is fast and responsive. Results were still the same slow Windows 10 VM on VMware Fusion 8.xĪfter tweaking around and testing several possibilities I found a solution that works great. I fired up a fresh VM and installed Windows 10 Pro from scratch. Performance was a bit better but still not workable.

Next step was to upgrade VMware Fusion to version 8.5.x and restore the Windows 7 VM to test it again. While being logged in any screen updates only caused a spinning wheel and a non-responsive Mac. I ended up with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro VM with VMware Fusion 8.1.1 which took over 15+ minutes to only login. Boy, was I wrong! The upgrade went through without any problems, but the VM was useless after rebooting. I thought, maybe Windows 7 is not a good fit for it, and an upgrade was already in the planning so I decided to upgrade my VM to Microsoft Windows 10. Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro on VMware Fusion Pro 8.x I never experienced any major problems before, but after upgrading to VMware Fusion 8 my Windows 7 VM was suddenly painfully slow and extremely sluggish. I have been using VMware Fusion from version 4 onwards and have been running version 7 for the last couple of years together with a Microsoft Windows 7 VM satisfactorily. Still deeply hoping Microsoft will port Visio to Mac OS someday, but probably not going to happen, but hey you got to have dreams! I also use Windows VMs to test out new software for work, blogging and educational purposes. I am a long-time user of VMware Fusion, which enables me for example to run Microsoft Visio on my MacBook Air.
