[Trainer-Talk] Putting Windows 10 on a Mac

[Jeffrey Young]

As far as I understand windows 10 is a free upgrade on a device by device bases, so I am not sure if you can transfer anything from your old laptop to the mac. However, if you already have a coppy of windows 7 or 8.1 you may be able to install this on the mac and then upgrade to windows 10 from there. Although, I am unsure if you can still install windows 7 in bootcamp. This is something you may wish to contact Microsoft directly for the most accurate information.
