NO excessive fan noise. I had the back off while changing disks and were pretty clean.
Yes.. I could add temp monitoring to see if they are being throttled.

It may be good idea to check the CPU temperature and the airflow inside the computer -
dust buildup may reduce airflow and cooling, which in turn may cause CPU throttling.

I?ll check in the morning but believe the 2 machines are identical except for screen
size. I?ll also check for the same version of Parallels. I assume since these are 2010
machines I could upgrade the Parallels to current. They are both running High Sierra.
On startup the 17? <the slower one>. Takes a very long time to show the desktop
icons. I have the feeling the problem isn?t Parallels as there is slowness in email and
iTunes without Parallels being started up.

I have 2 2010 macbook pro's. Each have 8GB of Ram and both have a 2 TB hybrid seagate
hard drives. Running Windows via Parallels. 15 inch system have reasonable perfomance. 17
inch system just crawls running windows. With RAM maxed out what else should I be looking
for?
Do they have the same CPU?s, and the same version of Parallels? Might be something with
the Windows install on the one?
