Why is your VM sucking up the full 8GB ?

"MacOS locks down exactly what it needs - if you have available resources!"

Sure but you're saying that your Win10 8GB VM needs the full 8GB out of 8GB of RAM allocated to it (100%)? I find that curious because my 6GB Win10 VM is taking only 2GB of RAM out of 6GB (33%) made available to it..... and I have the resources for it to take more if needed.

Applications like Parallels CAN lock-down more than you need if you configure it to do so. I let the automation within Parallels dynamically adjust if needed.
