I fired up a fresh VM and installed Windows 10 Pro from scratch. Performance was a bit better but still not workable. Next step was to upgrade VMware Fusion to version 8.5.x and restore the Windows 7 VM to test it again. While being logged in any screen updates only caused a spinning wheel and a non-responsive Mac. I ended up with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro VM with VMware Fusion 8.1.1 which took over 15+ minutes to only login. Boy, was I wrong! The upgrade went through without any problems, but the VM was useless after rebooting. I thought, maybe Windows 7 is not a good fit for it, and an upgrade was already in the planning so I decided to upgrade my VM to Microsoft Windows 10. Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro on VMware Fusion Pro 8.x I never experienced any major problems before, but after upgrading to VMware Fusion 8 my Windows 7 VM was suddenly painfully slow and extremely sluggish. I have been using VMware Fusion from version 4 onwards and have been running version 7 for the last couple of years together with a Microsoft Windows 7 VM satisfactorily. Still deeply hoping Microsoft will port Visio to Mac OS someday, but probably not going to happen, but hey you got to have dreams! I also use Windows VMs to test out new software for work, blogging and educational purposes. I am a long-time user of VMware Fusion, which enables me for example to run Microsoft Visio on my MacBook Air.
