I have a 6-year-old iMac. Is it worth running Parallels or would it be super slow?

[–] ramblechat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I had a 10 year old Macbook Pro that was really slow, I put in an SSD and it was transformed. Not expensive and plenty of YouTube videos on how to do it.

Mine has an SSD. It's not super slow or anything. But it is an Intel iMac, so I didn't know if that would be a barrier. Sorry, should have been more specific.

It'll be fine. I run a 2013 Macbook pro retina and have been running parallels since getting it.

That's older than my 2015 Air. I'm surprised it's still supported at all.

Yeah I'm stuck on Big Sur for OS from here on out
