Bootcamp vs clean W10 Install Macbook

Hey guys, so i have a MacBook Pro 15" Retina from 2014, and im wondering about just removing mac os x and installing w10 clean on it.

I tried Bootcamp before but i dont know what it was but it was kindof buggy it seems.

What are your toughts about bootcamp vs clean install on a mac?

You kinda need to use bootcamp if you want the laptop to work properly....

Windows 10 can't install drivers for the macbook hardware, so bootcamp needs to install it itself when loading windows.

I really dont want to waste precious storage space on OS X :(

There is really no driver updates for the hardware? 

Is that the keyboard/Trackpad that is the problem?

I think it's everything, like the USB controllers, the storage controllers, everything in the macbook is custom made.

I highly doubt the laptop would even boot properly without having windows installed through bootcamp.

If you don't want space on OSX you can just set the partition size to the minimum, so it barely takes up any of your drive.

You can delete the osx partition and only have windows.

 

Bootcamp are just the drivers, just like the dell ones, you can download them from apple's website https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1720?locale=en_US
