On A Computer Running Microsoft Windows Non

When Microsoft banned computer hardware that didn't have the TPM chip and therefore would not run Windows 11, I said, That's it. Fool me once Microsoft. shame on you... What's to stop Microsoft from doing this again in the future? I began looking at alternatives and decided that running Windows 11 as a Virtual Machine (VM) inside a product called Parallels Desktop on a Mac was the way to go. I'm one who always assembled his own PC's and keeping my budget at $1000 for the box (no new monitor, keyboard, mouse, external devices) BUT, if I was going to run Windows 11 inside of my new Mac, the Mac had better be on the robust end of the spectrum. My former Macs have always had 8 to 16GB of RAM which was adequate for my usage. But since Windows 11 doesn't thrive until reaching 16GB, I decided that 32GB should be fine with this new Mac (it's perfect) Next, storage. VM's require a lot of storage space. I'm running a Windows 11 VM, Mac Sonoma (this is an additional Mac VM) and a Linux VM. My Mac now has 850GB free on a 2TB drive. Yes, get the 2TB storage! I have no storage insecurity which counts for a lot. Perhaps I'll try moving the VM's to external storage someday but I don't have resources for trying experiments now - using RAID arrays, etc. So now I have an expensive Mac (it's all relative, I know). I justify it by saying that I was going to have to buy my $1000 Windows box anyway plus I wanted the new Mac silicon. Installing Parallels Desktop and the Windows 11 VM is mostly an automated experience. Everything is fast.

After 7 years with my last computer and windows upgrade it was time to purchase a new computer,. Microsoft office 365 issmuch different then what I'm used to

If you have a computer running Windows on a legacy hard disk, you really have to upgrade. It saved me from having to buy a new computer.

I am very happy with this computer. Microsoft makes transferring everything a breeze.

Excellent computer, far better than any Microsoft based computer that I have used

Replaced a Windows micro computer running NDI Tools that was just too soft a picture quality. Have been waiting a year for this - glad to see it finally released.

I had a previous version (DVC-170) and had to upgrade to a device that was comapatible with my new computer running Windows 7 64-Bit.

Replaced a failed drive on an older computer running Windows 7. It's quiet and working flawlessly. I'm very pleased with this unit so far. (It's only been about a month at this point.)

I use this with a Xeon powered HP Zbook running Windows 10. It worked flawlessly and effortlessly. I purchased it to connect my Nikon Z7 to my computer for streaming and recording via OBS. Other than connecting the HDMI cable from one end to the camera and the included USB 3 cable to the computer, there was no setup. All apps--Zoom, Skype, OBS, etc.--immediately recognized the AV.io 4k as a webcam. The results are glorious. This was three times more expensive than the Elgato Camlink 4k I initially had my eye on, but 4k camlinks--and anything else related to working from home--quickly disappeared from vendors' stock. Ultimately, I am certain that this is a better product. Better build quality and no issues with whether it might be incompatible with certain cameras.

What a change! I have been running Microsoft 2010. Love the 365!
