Host Machine:
- Windows 8.1
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
- RAM: 24GB
- System Type: 64 bit OS, x84 processor
What I've been running as a virtual machine
- Windows 7
- 12GB Memory
- 2 processors, 1 core per processor
I have not been getting very good performance out of it at all. My vm CPU seems to constantly stay at 100% and everything is extremely slow. What other combination of settings would someone recommend I try?
Edit: I'm running my virtual machine off of an external, SSD via USB 3.0

change it to 1 CPU and 2 cores! – magicandre1981 – 2015-07-10T04:18:46.383
What's your hypervisor? Also, the USB 3.0 MIGHT be a bottleneck, depending – Journeyman Geek – 2015-07-10T04:28:17.567
I've changed it to 1CPUx2 cores and it seemed fine on startup, but when I opened Chrome, it shot back up to 100% and stayed there. CPU 100% and Physical Memory 19%. Where would I find the hypervisor? I don't see where that is. – Joshua Terrill – 2015-07-10T04:42:18.770
2CPU x 2 Core seems to be working fairly well... – Joshua Terrill – 2015-07-10T04:48:08.747
