Pete,
y plan is to but the new Mac mini and after it is setup and working,
I will ditch VMware and Windows because VMware would need to be upgraded
for sequoia. I don't need Windows that much anymore.
Oh indeed, another good reason to go through this is to be inline
with iOS 18.
I will likely order the Mac mini next month. So while waiting, I
will clean up Windows then go from there.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...
Ambivalent? Well yes and no.

Hello all,
I moved away from the late 2014 Mac Mini that I currently have back to my
Windows PC when I realized I couldn't upgrade that machine past Mac OS
Monterey. Now that I've got the iPhone 16 Pro and with all its new
capabilities plus how well the new Mini sounds like it would nicely
integrate with this new phone, I'm seriously thinking about retiring the old
Mac Mini in favor of the 2024 model. Besides that, My sighted wife has a
2024 iMac, and I'm really thinking it would be good for me to upgrade mine
so I can follow along with the new OS's and be more of a help if/when she
might need it. I do have one big concern, which I know has been discussed
previously here, and apologize for the repeat. But here goes:
I have two digital police scanners which have visual menus, but they come
with a cable that lets you connect it to a computer to program them. Problem
is that the app only runs on Windows, no Mac support. I did, in fact, run
Windows 10 on the old Mac Mini with VMWare fusion a while back, so I'd love
to hear from anyone who has been able to get Windows going on the newer Mac
Mini. If people have had good luck doing this, I might be able to retire a
five plus year old desktop PC in addition to the older Mac Mini.
I'm also getting into doing some podcasting for the first time, and the
folks I'm working with seem to really be more in favor of using Apple
systems, so that's another reason I'm thinking to make the move.
I'd really appreciate any tips or guidance anyone can give me, and once
again I do apologize for repeating this question.
Pete De Vasto
