> I only run Windows on virtual machines on my Mac desktop and Mac laptop; only for personal use; and only on the rare occasion when I need to run the odd Windows-only application.

Suggestions on VM software? I'm looking into getting my wife set up with Win10 on her Mac.

Unless you want to run games, VMware Fusion. Parallels is slightly faster for some use cases other than games, but they lost my business last year when they installed their Parallels Access software without asking me first and without giving users an easy way to uninstall it without also uninstalling Parallels. (Parallels Access is their remote access software, so it potentially opens your Mac up to remote exploits and requires a subscription after a three month trial to boot.)
