Hello,

I need to run MS Navision on my Macbook. I am being told that Microsoft does not deliver a version of their Navision to directly run on Mac OS - can somebody confirm whether this is at all true?

Apparently, it is now called Dynamics 365 (https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/) Sounds like a Personal Physical Trainer. 😉

I am basically offered 2 options: install a Windows partition through bootcamp or use a VMWare type of product to emulate Windows when using Navision. Can I have pros/cons of both options please?

• Bootcamp runs Windows natively, but requires a reboot to switch between macOS and Windows (Boot Camp - Official Apple Support)
• Virtualization use macOS as the host OS to run Windows as a guest OS and may be helpful, if you want to run light-duty software in Windows. Performance can be limited, depending on computer resources necessary. This can cause battery issues, when both Host and Guest OSes run simultaneously.
• Some engines allow a Bootcamp partition to be imported as a VMK, giving you the best of both worlds.

Do you have instructions available on how to use bootcamp, how to install this Windows partition on the macbook?
