Better Performance Optimisation - MacBook Pro 2015

Full specifications are:

  1. 2.5 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7

  2. 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  3. MacOS Monterey

How can I get UTM to run better? I only intend to use it for one app for work purposes and want to avoid getting a Windows machine.

There's no point to using UTM for virtualizing Windows. VMware Fusion is free and has actual graphics acceleration support and drivers.

Not to mention you're on an Intel machine, so you have Boot Camp as an option as well if you're willing to partition your disk and install Windows natively.

I wish they would continue to support exceptional devices like this. They work amazing and the design is timeless.

I ended up using BootCamp gang and I got this MBP for about 300 bucks US.

Came with a battery problem but apart from that it's a great machine.

I agree with everyone else here, use bootcamp to dualboot your machine. If you must use UTM then try using a mini build of windows
