Hi, As a user of bootcamp I would say go with that,
If you've got a 750gig hard drive then you've got a heap of space and it's on only the windows installation you will have trouble with, If anything use windows 10 I find it more stable and quicker than windows 7, You would then need Jaws 17 or 18 to work with it, The bootcamp setup is very easy with vo and all you need is a dvd or ISO of windows to install from. Good luck and hope this helps, Surely someone around work could give you a hand for 30 minutes. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Brinkman Sent: Tuesday, 4 April 2017 10:59 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Bootcamp or buy a PC? Hello all, I have a MacBook Pro with a 750 gig solid state drive, 16 gigs of ram, a 2.7 GHZ Intel Core I7, and an Intel HD 4000 graphics card. I have been using it since late 2012 with Windows 7 as a virtual machine, but am becoming increasingly unhappy with the performance. VoiceOver has numerous bugs, even with Apple native applications like iTunes. Some websites are extremely sluggish in Safari with VO. I still can't use Spotify with VO although I can use it with Jaws. The virtual machine has its own set of problems. I am unable to open certain powerpoint presentations, for instance. I sometimes get errors when trying to install applications. Since I use Windows at work, I am thinking about purchasing a Windows laptop. However my MBP is still a powerful machine from a specs standpoint, so I hate to abandon it. Should I consider trying Bootcamp? My main problem with that is that I cannot set it up without sighted assistance, and I live alone. Should I upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10? Should I try NVDA instead of Jaws? Any suggestions from people who have used Bootcamp or NVDA would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Eric -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
