    what version of Windows 10 for VMWare Fusion (and Bootcamp)

    I want to buy a cheap license for Windows 10 that I can install on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion, or maybe a Bootcamp partition. I am concerned about activation. I understand that Microsoft bases activation on the hardware, and this might be a problem with a virtual machine. I see lots of...

    (This might not be the correct forum to post this in; this forum seemed to make the most sense to me for some reason.) I'm planning on buying a Chromebook, but to hell with ChromeOS, I'm gonna install Windows 10 on it (have you seen the prices of those high-end Windows 10 PCs?). So, thanks to...

    Running Windows 10 on 2009 MacBook Pro

    Hey everyone! So, I know that my particular Mac only technically supports up to Windows 7, but I was curious if it is possible to run Windows 10 on it? Or rather, it's possible, but what kind of experience does it bring? Do the drivers work? Does it behave like it is supposed to?

    iPad Pro Keyboard Idea

    Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tablet Pro S. I really like the keyboard design. Essentially, the back cover flap stays on the back of the tablet magnetically, which allows two viewing modes. When closed, it is EXTREMELY THIN AND LIGHTWEIGHT. Mind you, this device runs full Windows 10. The...
