Hi. I am also thinking about setting up a virtual machine. Is there a recommended amount of resources the virtual machine needs to run properly but leaving enough for the mac? Will a virtual machine run ok on a mac mini with 8 gigs of ram? And, how do I run a screen reader with an apple bluetooth keyboard? Is there a way to make this work? Or would i be better plugging in a standard usb keyboard?
Is there anywhere i can go to read a tutorial or guide about setting up a virtual machine to run windows? thanks God Bless!
