I've been dual-booting Mac and Windows for years...
...but when I'm in Windows I feel so filthy.

These work great for FORScan and surprisingly surf info on the web. I swapped the 128 ssd for 500gb M2 $65. Dell 3190 for $129 I have no idea what I did to the link it works once you drill down. Also a OBDLink-EX and of course ForScan

Bootcamp is installed on macOS. It allows you to create a small partition to natively run windows. When you boot up your laptop, you can select which OS to run.

I personally do not trust programming modules through a VM…that’s just me though.

You are referring to a USB flash drive like this?

If you don't have one, $10 for 128 gig is all you need.

I have a USB Flash drive with A on one side and C on the other side. Less need for dongleberrys.
