Hi, Yes. Find me on zello.
But you need to assign a part of your precious internal SSD to be dedicated to Windows. There is no getting around this to my knowledge. You can certainly use your thumb drive as extra storage, but windows needs it's own partition on your internal drive. As for the CD ROM, it shouldn't matter. Do connect the drive prior to the process, but no need to pre install the windows cd into it. And yes, you will need sighted assistance to install windows via bootcamp. Don't trust the podcast and counting key presses. You don't want to mess around with this. --K On Feb 15, 2014, at 7:00 PM, Eileen Misrahi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I have made the decision to use Bootcamp and need some expert advise.
