    Move Parallels Windows 11 .iso to another disk?

    I managed to install Windows 11 as a VM (Parallels 18) on a base Mini M1, but the automatically downloaded .iso file, needed for running the VM, is cited in my Downloads folder. Any advice on how I can move the .iso to another location in my internal SSD? Thanks.

    Display for Mac mini M1

    I have decided on a Mac mini M1 and need to buy a display, but I don't know which one. 🤷‍♀️ People recommend 4K but what scaling do you use then? Many people seem to prefer 1440p scaling but it's not native on macOS on a 27-inch 4K display (may affect the performance). Running 1440p on a...

    Will have to go with an Mac Mini M1 8gb, still doable?

    Wel... I know basically everyone on the internet will tell to avoid the base 8gb model like the plague, but that's not an option on my country, base model costs like 2000USD (no joking) and 2600USD for the 16gb model, so yeah.... it's 8gb or nothing, still managed to find one for like 1200USD...
