HGSI is a native Windows application. It works very well with Mac’s running BOOTCAMP
and/or Parallels. HGSI Mac users that can be contacted for their experience on our Community Forum.
The options below come from the experience of Dr. Jeffrey Scott. He
is an avid user of Mac. If you have questions,
you can contact Jeffrey at mdonc@mindspring.com.
MAC gives you 3 options to run windows, each however, requires the purchase and installation
of Windows.
Option #1
Install BOOTCAMP – this is free utility on the MAC
Install Windows ( Win7 or greater)
Install HGSI into Windows
PRO – Fast, works no different than
on native Windows
CON – Not simultaneous with OS programs. Requires
partitioning of hard drive.
Option #2
Install Parallels
Follow directions within Parallels
Install Windows as a Parallels Drive ( Win7 or greater)
Install HGSI into Windows
PRO – No need to partition hard drive, allows concurrent use of Windows and MAC programs
CON – Not quite as fast as Option #1
Option #3
Install BOOTCAMP
Install Windows ( Win7 or greater)
Install HGSI into Windows
Install Parallels and import BOOTCAMP into Parallels
PRO – Best of both worlds, concurrent use of OS and Windows programs, fast
CON
– Still have to partition hard drive with BOOTCAMP.
Bottom line, I like Option #3 best. By using BOOTCAMP, I have
a choice between speed (BOOTCAMP) or compatibility with Parallels HGSI
works great in all scenarios.
