I have a question bout macs

[LucasDerpYT]

So, we all know of boot camp, if you dont it is a Windows emulator virtual machine for macs to run Windows OS

So, if a Macbook is using the same architecture, even the same CPU's, would it be possible to format the HDD, get a Windows 10 key, and load up Windows 10 on a mac?

Also to put emphasis, i mean stuff like Mac Mini's and Mac Pro's, and older Macbooks

not without boot camp i have a mac, currently using a 2013 MacBook pro retina for work bought it for school. i have window 10 installed in it i love it the 750m is good enough because i don't game in it i have a gaming pc for that. the battery life is good on a heavy day looking at excel and word while browsing Reddit and ltt i get about 6 to 8 hour battery life. solid built and overall a excellent laptop but not worth the price, personally i love mine.

MacPro is a biggest waste of money ever if you have too much money donate.

[DrMacintosh]

Macs run Windows natively through bootcamp. IE no virtualization. 

 

If you want to VM windows on a Mac, Parallels is what you want to buy.

Still dont see why anyone would do that. But that is just me.

Basically, its better to get a custom built, install hackintosh, and donate the difference between that and the Mac Pro to charity

well buying a mac pro is burning your money , donating to a homeless shelter will provide people with food. i am assuming you are young.

He is probably around my age (13) therefor your age argument is invalid.

I would rather spend money on myself rather than other people.

when you grow up you will realize people are smart at different things, you might be good with computer but my physic professor knows nothing about computer but he is really good at physic.

short answer, no. long, although the hardware is the same across mac/ pc, apple uses whatever their special sauce bios is, and locks the hardware to only accept their specific OS. its essentially easier to build a hackintosh than to get mac hardware to accept an install of anything that not OSX.

And, yes i know. 

I can be smart in computers, logic, math, etc

Though someone can be smarter in Astronomics, etc

Not all hardware works with Hackintosh so make sure you do your research my guy
