When I first started using a Mac in 2013, I used bootcamp and created a VM from it. Shortly afterward, I moved away from this configuration due to a space consideration-I have a 256 GB SSD. However, if I had it to do over again, I would have stayed with both as it allows more flexibility. I did not have any problems with the exception of having to license multiple installations of some software, including JAWS, at that time. Also, there was an issue when VMWare updated some drivers which resulted in a problem whose details I cannot recall. I was using VMWare Fusion 6.0.

I've not done this yet since at present my VM runs side-by-side with OS X, but I've been reading about this on the VMWare site recently, and it looks quite similar to setting up any other VM. My hunch is it's doable without sighted assistance but I don't know for certain. The advantage of it is that when you are using Windows apps that are resource-intensive or where latency in a standard VM might be an issue, you can boot fully into Windows. For apps that require authorisation, it looks like you may need to authorise some of them twice, since effectively they're two different Windows machines. Would be interesting to know how folks are getting on with this configuration.
