Hey everyone,
so i wanted to shrink my boot camp drive, & I didn’t want to remove it & install it again (since winclone didn’t work for me), so i used paragon hard disk manager. I resized & it was ok. Then i boot up on windows to check if it was ok, but it didn’t startup & i got the blue screen with repair options. So I tested all & I finally chose to “reset pc”. So then I did set everything up again & installed all my apps again. But after a restart, right after entering my pin, it got stuck. Same thing.
so I decided to do it the right way, Deleted boot camp with the assistant, reinstalled, set up & installed apps. & take in mind that I spent my whole day on this. & then after restarting to install windows updates, same thing happened. I’m going super crazy because not only it’s so annoying & so frustrating, but I’ve got a test that I have to take on windows.
can anybody tell me what I should do now?

How about forgetting Boot Camp and going for a virtual PC?

VirtualBox from Oracle is totally free.

I’ve used virtuals before. But since I use it for programming & other professional stuff I don’t think it will be useful for that. Or will it?

I use Parallels daily - Sql Server Management Studio, RedGate tools, Smartgit and Jetbrains Rider...
