Hi all,

I have a mid 2014 mbp retina 13" that I'm going to upgrade the hard drive to this weekend (already bought, looked up guides, used to be in IT so I'm comfortable doing it). Ultimately I'd like to do the following:

• Install the new hd
• Upgrade to Catalina (currently on Mojave)
• Migrate my data (apps, settings, etc.) (currently backed up on a usb hd I use for time machine)
• Install Windows on another partition

My process was going to be as follows:

1. Install the new hd
2. Boot to a (non-time machine) usb drive I've already wiped and downloaded a catalina installer to
3. Partition the new hd into two partitions (1 for mac, 1 for windows--for 1 TB drive, thinking 800 mac/200 windows?)
4. Connect the time machine usb drive and migrate my user profile
5. Install windows on the windows partition

Looking for validation (though aren't we all) and any call outs to make sure this all seems fine and if there's anything I should be mindful of, etc.

Also not sure if I should go boot camp, parallels, or vmware. How much of a performance hit would I take by going virtual? I don't really see me needing to switch back and forth too much, but if the difference would be negligible between virtualization and boot camp then I'd do virtual.

Thanks in advance!
