I thought I read that if it was somewhat newer than that even that you couldn't
go beyond Lion or Mountain Lion, and if one doesn't have those in your purchase
list, those machines get stuck at what they came with. I'm not sure how true
that is though.

Hi. You won't have any problems installing on your Mac. I used to have
Bootcamp but now I've switched back to VMWare Fusion which is all I need but
that's personal preference. I apologize in advance for going off topic a bit,
but how old is the MacBook you are using? If it's 2007 or above, you can update
to the latest version of OS X which is Yosemite and even update to El Capitan
when it comes out. To find out the year of the Mac, open the menu bar with VO+M
and go down until you hear about this Mac. Enter on that and you should see all
the info about the Mac.

Hello all,
Before I ask my question, I want to provide the following information: I
have been a Windows user for quite some time and would like to continue to do
so. I have also recently taken up the Mac and have been fortunate enough to
have an older MacBook Pro given to me while I learn this operating system.
Unfortunately, it is my understanding that the older MacBook Pro at my disposal
cannot be updated beyond OSX 10.6. On the Windows side my preferred screen
reader is JAWS but I also have NVDA and Window-Eyes installed. I would like to
add right here that I really do not want to make this a Mac versus PC
conversation; as a blind computer I am grateful that I have access to both.
Question
I was considering acquiring both a new Windows 10 laptop as well as a new
MacBook Pro. But since I am not independently wealthy, I wondered if it would
not be more cost effective purchasing only the MacBook Pro and then installing
Windows on that system. I would like to know how well Windows runs on the Mac
and get an idea of the difficulty of actually accomplishing this feat.
Additionally, are there any recommended specs, such as the amount of RAM or
preferred processor, for this type of setup? I am fairly competent with a
Windows PC but still consider myself a novice on the Mac; either may or may not
be of help during the process of installing Windows on a Mac. Any suggestions
and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mauricio
