Running MS in a Virtual Environment

Post by rjw524 » Fri Jul 15, 2016 4:27 pm

Hello,

Some of my macros are so time consuming that I can't work for hours at points because MS requires the focus of the keyboard and display.

To get around this, is it possible to run MS in a virtual environment where it would have the "focus" but my physical machine would be free to still do my work on?

Thanks!

RJ

Hi, I have two copies of Win 10 and am using Hyper-V Manager (included free with at least Win 10) with one of them. Somewhat slow at times but does its job in the "background". I posted this some time back:

If anyone has more experience, then pls share.
