good afternoon-
I'm in the process of launching my own freelance professional practice, and hoping to strangle some more life out of my mid-2011 MBP (2.4 GHz i5, 16GB, 500GB SSD).
The software I must use is proprietary, and demands Win8/10. Sigh... Anyway, the last time I did this sort of thing, I ran VMWare Fusion 2.0 on my MB C2D with WinXP, and everything ran fine.
But now.... Win 10 OEM? Win8 with upgrade? System builder? OEM? Jeez....
Also, I expect that within the next 2 years I'll be trading up to a new MBP, hopefully restoring from either my TC, or one of several backups I keep on various drives.
Searching the forums hasn't given me the basics: what version of Win8/10 should I be buying?
