Topic: Move to Apple MacBook Pro
Poster: Harmen Rijks
Hi,
I'm considering moving my Translation environment (Trados Studio 22, Xbench, etc) back from Windows 11 to Windows 11 in a VM (Parallels) on a new MacBook Pro with the M2 chip.
Has anyone done this? The problem seems to be that you can not simply copy the files via Laplink PC mover from one Windows environment to another Windows environment on the VM anymore as the underlying format appears to have been changed. Apparently the only way to do it is install everything from fresh.
I used to work in a VM set up on a Mac until Trados got to power hungry and it all became turgidly slow. Moved back to Windows on a HP laptop with 32GB internal memory, but the quality of workmanship is so much lower. Things constantly break....
Anyone with experience moving back to Apple?
(I only wish Trados would be available on a Mac, and not just via the cloud on a Mac.)
