Mac with windows

[Dackzy]

Hey guys if I were to get a macbook pro and install windows on it how well would the mac work with windows and what problems can come with installing windows.

I need windows for 90% of my work day.

You can use boot camp (comes preinstalled), for me windows on my macbook air worked 10x better than osx

Win10 on my macbook air worked 100% fine after a driver update. From my experience win10 works perfectly fine.

They did it for my macbook air 2014 about a month or two after windows 10 was released.

You have to check apple software update.

People that like windows might buy a mac and run windows on it. More potential costumers

I just don't like the way the do their business, where they sue companies that makes their chips and screens for their phones and laptops.

Yet those companies still make chips and screens for Apple's laptops and phones, money wins everytime

dont wont to start any apple/pc war here right now, but since youre using windows 90% for your work as you said, why dont get a laptop? (there are some lenovo that can run osx/hackintosh fine too)

They're not stupid, why lose customers because they won't support windows when it takes minimal effort on their part?

 

(Not that it's always supported all that well, the 5k imac for example is limited to 4k resolutions on windows because they couldn't be arsed to make proper driver support)

They sue companies who steal/copy their ideas (or those who they think have done so). Welcome to real life.

False. The iMac 5K had received a driver update to support 5K resolution in Boot Camp as well. Nobody seems to know though.

Nobody cares enough apparently ^^ my experience with the imac ended with Linus' videos and the confirmation of everything I thought about it.

I am running Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro 13" Retina 2015, works great.
