I have a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro with the following specs:
Processor: 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz
*I have 90 GB of free storage on my HD.
*I'm running OS X Yosemite
I need to be able to run Windows, but I really don't want to spend a lot of money on a new laptop just for the OS. However, I am concerned that my MacBook Pro is too old and doesn't have enough memory to run Bootcamp. I understand that I can only run Windows 7. I would just be looking to install MS Office 2013 on the Windows portion of the laptop.
Is this doable? My current 2008 version of Excel is super slow to open in the Mac OS and I'm hoping that the Windows version will run a bit quicker (plus I am familiar with the Windows interface from work).
Would love to hear opinions on it. Would it really slow down my Mac? Is it worth it?
