Hi again

I hope you are all well.

I wonder if I might bend your ears on this query?

I use a Mac, but I want to run the windows version of excel due to the limited functionality of excel for Mac. Does anyone do this, or have any suggestions what is the best way to do this? I don’t really need windows for anything else.

I can think of boot camp, VMware or Parallels. Are there others?

anyone have an opinion which is best? I’ve found boot camp to be awkward because I’ve replaced my Mac mini hd with a ssd which doesn’t appear to like boot camp.

Any help/pointers welcome.

All the best
Bobby

Parallels unless you are doing things that are super processor-intensive and you need the max speed possible.
