Actually, I’m running Windows 10 Pro in a VM using Parallels 13 on macOS 10.13.2. This is a MacBook Pro with 16 GB memory. I allocate 2 GB to the VM, Parallels takes another 0.5 GB for itself—so the footprint is 2.5 GB total.

It works well. I’ve never had a Parallels crash. I’ve had Windows 10 issues, but that’s par for the course and would have happened on Windows-specific hardware anyway. A benefit of using a VM is that Parallels takes snapshots so whenever Windows crashes I merely revert to an instance of the VM prior to the crash. (Normally the snapshot is within 6 hours of the crash at the most.) I keep all my data in folders on the Mac side of the machine, so I never rely on the VM to store my data—just Windows and other software.
