    Virtual machine on Mac

    Hi (I know Nick isn't going to have an answer for this!),

    How are people finding running expedition on Virtual machines on a Mac running Windows11 Arm?
    I have been replacing my legacy Win10 Lenovo PCs. For on the boat I've got a Lenove WindowsOnArm machine. I'm really happy with it. However, I'd like to be able to do home desk work and analysis on MacBookPro.
    I just don't want to burn an activation on my Navionics or get a license code from Nick if it isn't working well for others?

    I'm not going to bother until after the fastnet but I figured |'d put this out now for people to put their more up to date thoughts.

    Cheers

    Someone did send me some performance figures once and the difference over x64 emulation was suprisingly large.

    I forget the details though.

    There is an issue where the Navionics DLL may not register the charts on ARM. That is easily fixed with the x64 version.
