Because of that, should I expect to be sacrificing any performance or graphics of my game when run in Windows/Parallels versus natively on my Mac? I'm ultimately trying to get reshade to have my game to look as nice as possible, so if using Parallels will cost my game looking or running nicely, then it probably isn't going to be a viable option for me. I'm not super solid on the details, but it looks like Parallels and Bootcamp work a little differently, meaning that TS4 might not be as optimal running through Parallels as it would be running through Bootcamp. Has anybody here had success running Origin-based copies of TS4 in Windows on their Mac using Parallels? I've been looking around and it seems like Parallels may be my answer. Since my Mac isn't intel based, it looks like Bootcamp isn't going to be an option for me any time soon. I'm looking to find a way to run Windows on my iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021) in order to be able to run Reshade in my game to take prettier screenshots than what I can achieve with post-edits using photoshop actions.

Windows is an Operating System (OS) developed by Microsoft whereas Parallels is a Virtual Machine (VM) developed by Parallels.

J imboPenguin, I absolutely have an idea what I am talking about. Parallels Desktop for Mac allows you to run other Operating Systems (like Windows 7) in a virtual environment, while OS X is running at the same time.

Parallelsruns Windows VMs on Mac OS X - that's just a fact. Parallels is incredibly easy to use even for beginners and once you’ve downloaded everything, will install Windows on an M1 Mac in little more than 10 minutes.
