This has been a huge pain in the neck for me. I'd also really like to kick

I've been using an Apple laptop for 9 years now and I can tell you that there

As others have mentioned, for bootcamp you have to partition your drive

Screen curtain blacks your screen. It does not turn it off. It's painting
the screen black, so the screen is active. The same goes for IOS devices. It
does not save battery.
