Is it possible to run a Windows 10 VM on Mac Mountain Lion

Hi,

 

I have a 2012 Mac Book pro dual I7 16 Gig machine. I have been running Windows 7 in a Fusion VM since I got it quite happily with acceptable performance. I now need to move up to a Windows 10 VM.

 

As you may know this is looking problematic for the following reasons:

  • The latest version of Fusion (11.5) which can probably  run Win 10 will not run on Mountain Lion Mac OS.
  • I have downloaded a preinstalled Win10 VM that wont run on my current Fusion version 7.1.
  • I installed Mojave on the laptop but the performance was so dire, I could hardly run a browser let alone anything else....

 

So my question ... Is there a halfway house where I can upgrade to a mac OS that still will run with reasonable performance , and support a newer version of Fusion that will allow a Win 10 VM to run with acceptable performance. There is nothing wrong with the laptop, it is a high spec machine and don't not feel i should have to ditch it yet....

 

Any helpful replies will be gratefully received ..

 

Richard
