So, in short.
Upped the MP 1.1 (2006, 4x3.00) to 2.1 and got it to 10.9.3.
Now thinking to install Windows 7 or preferably 8.1 to check out how the adobes CC works on the platform. Mainly Photoshop, LR, AE & Premiere.
Why? Well, thinking of skipping the apple platform and heading for win based
systems. Just few questions... I have tried to read up on what is possible to do and and avoid the extra hassle...
So please bear with me..
With newer macks things seem to be a bit more straightforward but apparently with older macks, especially with "tuned ones" like mine there might come up some unforeseable problems, so I decided to do a holler..
1. After just a quick check, the 10.9.3 bootcamp seems to suggest installing the Win 7 should be relatively straightforward? But, as I would like to check out things preferably in 8.1, can I install it and except it to run relatively flawlessly? Heard that there could be issues with some USB3 drivers and whatnot?
2. Is there any reason that I should ( or do I have to?) go the way of installing first Win7 and the Win8.1 or go straight for 8.1?
3. Any suggestions for some reading regarding the process with the older mutant systems?
All pointers appreciated!
Edit : Specs.
MP 1.1 (4x3.00) + 10.9.3 + 12Gb + 560Ti (no boot screen). Have XP on one partition, works fine.
Dont want to get the CC there due to obvious security issues.
