Hey Everybody!
So, I just ordered Windows 7 through my college's bookstore and it will be coming in a couple of days. So, I was originally going to install it on a External HD, but I found out MAC can't boot from an external device.
Now, my first question is how should I install it? I was originally going to use Boot Camp, but I also read https://www.virtualbox.org/ was good. So any suggestions? By the way, I really don't want to buy Parallel Software, I'd rather use Boot camp.
My second question is, if I use Boot Camp, how big of a Partition should I make. I have a 500GB HDD installed, I am currently using about 80GB for files and apps. However, I am majoring in Systems and Networking support, and if everything goes smooth, this will be my main computer for class.
Next semester I am taking Windows Scripting, Web Design, CAD I, and Networking 1. This will be the only computer I use for web Design.
Then again, I do have a 1TB External drive that I can always use, but I want enough where I don't have to use that all the time.
Thank you in advance.
