  1. Hello Dear Friend, Need some advice regarding using the Virtual Machines. I bought a new laptop for office use. (for Programming various PLC and designing HMI/SCADA etc...)   The configurations of the Laptop are as below. Model - Asus Tuf Gaming F15 Processor - Intel Core I5-10300H 10th Generation RAM - 8GB DDR4 HDD - 1TB SSD M.2 NVMe PCIe Graphics - 4GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti GDDR6 2.5 GHz Base Speed, Up to 4.5 GHz Turbo Boost Speed, 8MB Cache, 4 Cores, 8 Threads.   I have never used Virtual Machine before, but this time I am planning to install all the automation-related software on VMs. Main System - Windows 7 64bit + MS Office + Accounting Software + Mail etc. I am planning to create 4 VMs as of now. VM1 - Windows 7 + Schneider Software (Control Expert, Machine Expert, Citect, Vijeo Designer, etc...) VM2 - Windows 7 + Omron + Delta + Fuji Software VM3 - Windoes 7 + Siemens Software VM4 - Windows 7 + Rockwell Softwares   I am planning to make two partitions of 1 TB SSD. Partition-1 for Main System (100 GB) Partition-2 VMs and all other Data (900 GB)   I will not run more than 1 VM at a time. All the VMs will be used to run the software only. I am planning to store all the project backups outside the VMs.   Now my Questions -  1) Should I use the VMs ? 2) Which VM software should I use? (I am preferring Freeware) 3) How much RAM and Processor should be assigned to each VM ? 4) How to configure a Graphics card to improve the performance of VM ? 5) How to access the storage of partition 2 in all the VMs to store all the data outside of VM ? 6) How do VMs use Processing Power of CPU and RAM ?   Please share your valuable suggestion and answers.   Have a Good Day.
