Home is fine unless you are going to be using it in a business environment. If
you aren't or never will be joining a domain, if you are not going to be
sharing files (except with other Windows 10 Home computers) then 10 Home should
be fine.

Seconded.
For the reasonable cost difference, better to have the Pro options
available that your businesses customers will have, and be able to just
ignore those for Home customers, than to get Home
I would go for the Pro. So you have some more options then the Home
version.
Also depends on the what your customers mostly have.

Well the first update from Sierra to (the 1st) Mojave did also go wrong

Hi JJS
I have an iMac that has the specs for a dual boot but I am reluctant to do it.
It has a 1 TB fusion drive and when I upgraded from Sierra to Mojave I ended
up with a non functioning fusion drive. I had a nice long chat with the Apple
Support tech trying to get it working again, then
Thanks Erik for the recommended specs.
Also thanks for the advice re virtual testing. I have used parallels in the
past on an earlier Mac with Windows 7, I will have to check if my Parallels
licence is still good.

Windows on dedicated hardware is my choice. Only then you really can say
that you tested on Windows. The brand of the hardware (metal) is not
important in this case. You are not confined to a closed system as with
Apple.

I use Parallels + Windows 10 and a while back I switched to an SSD drive - wow

Just to add something here. Using an SSD instead of an HDD will make a crappy
computer run like a decent one. Hard Drive data transfer is the single most
important factor in the speed of a computer. Some might say memory, but more
memory makes it faster only because the HDD needs to be accessed

here's my take, from many year
I'm curious how a standalone performs. I have a standalone that saves stacks as
properties are changes, and I am finding that while Windows direct host is
slower than a MacOS for a lot of things, Paralles (using Shared Profile I
admit) is several times slower, especially when saving the stack.
For my job I need to frequently test things in Windows 10, and I have been
doing that using Parallels. It works really well, but sometimes I need to do
hardware tests, and so I had Bootcamp added as well.
I was curious how well it performs, and so downloaded a benchmark test program.
Users who
yes you can use virtualbox or whatever but it will be slower, running an
OS in an OS, or:
You install bootcamp if you only need Win10: read this
https://support.apple.com/nl-nl/HT201468 it's in dutch but you can find
the English version yourself i think
then bootcamp will install all needed
I have used Parallels, and am now also using Virtual Box on my Mac. I use
No-Machine to connect to hardware Windows test platforms, and plan to use it
for other platforms (Linux, iOS, Android, Raspberry Pi). I use MiniWoL to wake
one machine and plan add Wake-on-LAN to another Windows machine.
Try Vmware Fusion - you can run windows without needing a dual boot - you
just need a windows 10 licence.

Hi,
I would advise this hardware:
- LGA 1152 motherboard (with PCIe ports)
- Intel i5 processor
- 8GB RAM or more
- 256GB SSD or better 256GB M.2 NVMe if supported by your Mac
OR use VM's (which I am using on a 32GB Mac machine):
- Expand your current RAM in your Mac to at least 16GB or more
Do you have a link for info on how to do that?
I will be wanting to test on Windows too and
was thinking I needed to use a emulator like
Parallels.
