Catalina and BootCamp???

I have my bootcamp on an external SSD and all is working perfectly. Not sure about a partition on the internal drive though.
I have BootCamp installed on a partition and connect to Windows 10 via Parallels. I had no issues upgrading to Catalina and was able to load Parallels and boot into Windows 10 with no issues.
I saw that some people are experiencing issues with Windows 10 via Parallels on macOS Catalina. Can you confirm which version of Parallels you have that works for you?
Thanks in advance.
my iMac is triple booted. Iv got Catalina and Majove on apfs volumes in a apfs container and my windows 10 bootcamp was fine unaffected I don't use parallels my self atm but what's said above looks promising either way bootcamp survived gotta b able to hit up those windows games lol. especially since macOS is dropping 32 bit apps with will include some great classics.
Curious what do you do with Bootcamp? Haven't used it in years not a Windows fan.
I play games, and Windows is unfortunately the platform for that, and it is not feasible via Parallels. Also, a few programs still only exist on Windows; MS Visio and MS Projects - which I run via Parallels though...
Mac Mini - 2018
I have Boot Camp on an external SSD. I also have an eGPU. Windows survived. I had a few audio issues after the boot ROM upgrade The Apple headphone jack had super low volume. I decided to add a simple USB audio device.
Now the Mac portion, that's where I have a few issues. It will not boot unless the Intel internal GPU is plugged in. It then takes a few tries to activate the eGPU. In Mojave, the Mac would simply boot silently and activate the eGPU on log in.

I use parallels to run a proprietary app for work, it’s a crappy .NET application, so it won't work in Crossovers, or WINE, although they claim limited .NET support.
The first Catalina Beta broke USB support in Parallels. The second fixed it. It's working fine now with Win10 VM.

The newest version of parallels works for me. I use it everyday. The USB works as well now, but not everyone has that as critical. I can vouch for the Parallels, but have not used Bootcamp in years.
i went to Macos 10.15 with bootcamp from former Macos and could start Windows without problems.
but,
now i wanted to install the newest windows 1903 build 18936.1000,
and failed!

I did the update to 1903 from an existing Windows build. The only issue, It plays extremely low from the headphone jack in my Mac. I just bought a cheap USB sound device.
Same here. No solution. Really annoying.
Other issues with Catalina:
- Citrix got hosed and no longer connects (certificate changes)
- Apple music no longer works properly
- My joystick thinks its a mouse and controls the point, but then I cant use the mouse until I disconnect
No sooner had I open my mouth when I too found a need for windows. My Fujitsu scanner no longer works on 64 bit macOS. But it works just fine in windows!
Yep, my S1500M is no longer supported. So... Now I have a wireless ix1500
[doublepost=1564792192][/doublepost]Agree, my fujitsu ix500 has stopped working with Catalina 10.15 Beta 19A526h
May I recommend VueScan software... it works with your scanner on Mac AND Windows. Fujitsu so longer supporting but VueScan DOES.
Wanna sell the S1500M?Yep, my S1500M is no longer supported. So... Now I have a wireless ix1500
I have Windows on a T5 SSD with Boot Camp upgraded the other day to Catalina sad to say it does not show as a start up disc on system prefrances 😕 i can get it when i use the option key to srart it.Tried it when using a Back up it shows in the start updisc there. But when i am on Windows and trying to get back in to Mac OS i get this mesage *Could not locate OS Boot volume*
I have this question on my latest post but no one has replied.
There must be some one on MacRumors who can sort this out for me.
