In 2011 I changed from Windows PC to Mac and bought and installed Parallels desktop on my Macbook Pro. I made an image of my Windows PC with Parallels Transporter Agent. The image also included the Visual Studio version (2010). Transferred image to Mac, opened it in Parallels and started using it. So I did not use any Bootcamp partition. And I realize (now) that your situation/set up is different because you are not migrating from Windows. The VS projects I have worked on are not huge but also not small and I also use SQL server. Over the years I have evolved to Parallels 12, VS 2017, SQL server 2016. With Parallels 12 I had a problem and had to reach out to Parallels technical support. I had already migrated to Mac Pro with 32 Mb and assigned 20 Mb to my Parallels VM. In the online session the helpdesk also looked at my settings and told me to assign only 4 Mb to the VM. So far everything is working fast enough for me. So I still think that creating a support ticket could help you. Happy new year. Aad Brugman

I have been working with a Macbook Pro & Parallels desktop since 2011 (16 Mb) without to many problems with Visual Studio. Definitely not the issues you mention. I am using the same configuration on a Mac Pro now. I have had some issues with the allocation of memory but the technical support of Parallels has been helpful in solving these problems either by email or remote session. Best of luck, Aad Brugman
