![]() ![]() ![]() I am not sure 'why'? I guess because Parallels works through Apple's Bootcamp Assistant when in macOS, to find and connect to a Windows Partition, and since Bootcamp Assistance does not support non-primary SSD installs, so Parallels does not 'see' these. But, Parallels does not support Bootcamp Windows installs that are not on the primary SSD - and I've just had an amusingly circular conversation with their tech support to confirm this. ![]() However, I'd like to be able to 'run-Windows within Parallels' through Bootcamp, without Windows being on my primary drive. TB3 is a faster interface than SATA so this is the better arrangement for a separate OS. ie the macOS/Bootcamp environment has no issue with detecting and running either OS. I can also 'restart into' from both OSes. This works perfectly - it's detected from power-on, I get the macOS or Windows10 drive-choices to boot into. I've a separate SATA SSD now on that channel for storage, and I have hacked my way using VMFusionWare to a Windows 10 bootcamp install on a TB3-connected NMVe SSD in an external enclosure. I hated the Fusion drive so replaced the m'board blade SSD with one large enough to replace the whole virtual drive array of the Fusion Drive. I recently replaced my CPU, RAM and Fusion-Drive in my 19,1 iMac - awesome upgrade.
