Are your other GIS programs, databases etc Windows specific? If not, I would just install FME Desktop for mac to not have to bother with partitioning.

Hi,

Thanks for your help, I did installed Arc Gis on windows partition (mac) . I just started learning FME and realised during course. Cannot we amend the file path to make it work.

.fmw files are plain text so what you could do is run a global search and replace on all .fmw files in that folder (and subfolders) replacing C:\\FMEData2019 with the path of where your data is, in my case it would be /Users/redgeographics/Documents/FMEData2019

You will end up with a mix of / and \\ in your paths but FME doesn't seem to be too bothered by that.
