I have a 13inch 2019 MacBook Pro running Sonoma v14.5 and Bootcamp running Windows 10. I have no issues at all using VE configure, Victron Connect etc when booting into Windows.
I know Bootcamp is no longer supported but so far I have had no issues :)

I have personally used parallels and VMware, they both work without issues.


Work is also underway for a native solution and a public beta will be available shortly.

I've just set up a Multiplus and used wine. Have used parallels in the past.. but wine if far simpler.


If you've ever ventured into the Terminal program on your Mac you probably have enough skill. .

The only trick I found not listed was to set my wine to map the USB as COM2. Ezy peezy after that.

Easy on parallels. Hardest part is waiting for windows to install. I used windows 7 64 bit installed from a usb stick. Don't need to use terminal and remap ports or anything, parallels does it for you.
