Windows cannot read backup drives formatted for the Mac. Mac can read backup drives formatted by Windows, but cannot write to them. The Apple drive format is different from Microsoft. All are completely compatible with the versions on Windows. It includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and more.

#OS X FOR WINDOWS LAPTOP PRO#
Thank you! I just received my MacBook Pro and I am looking forward to learning it and getting everything working on it. HI Glenn, Wouldn't installing Fusion on a Mac slow it down and subject the Mac to malware in a window environment? It works well under Fusion too.Īs for Windows slowing down the Mac-I do notice that everything I do in Windows is slow, but the Mac apps keep running at top speed even when I have Windows running in another Mac window. In my opinion, Avast is the best anti-virus and malware detection because it can run “outside” of Windows prior to bootup. For this reason, I installed and run Avast (my choice) on Windows that runs with Fusion on my Mac.

And Mac OS had been improved several times. It was easy to find the version of a file from the archives that I needed.Īpple always kept my apps updated with no hassles. Time Machine has saved me from disaster several times. SSD is pure flash memory-no moving parts to slow down file access. I am sure the speed has a lot to do with the fact that I chose to use an SSD drive. I no longer need to wait to use my computer as I did with my PC.

I have become spoiled by the speed of booting. I have been using my Mac Mini for eight years now without any negative issues.
#OS X FOR WINDOWS LAPTOP PC#
I used to spend hours cleaning up my PC when it started running slow-never in eight years with my Mac Mini. The time saved maintaining the system is also part of the cost that is saved with Apple. Microsoft always leaves files behind when you delete unused apps, filling up disk space. In addition to that, installing and removing apps is streamlined on the Apple. Microsoft charges extra for apps that are necessary for a minimal system. And Apple includes many common apps with the OS, and many free to download. Well, the hardware is more expensive, but the software is much lower priced. Some people say they avoid Apple computers because they are more expensive than Microsoft. You can find a cheap external DVD drive on Amazon for around $25. I bought an external DVD drive just for those cases when I buy software on DVD. Most software can be downloaded these days at the fast speeds of the Internet, which is why computer manufacturers no longer include DVD drives. I can tell you that these programs are the exact duplicates of what you have on a PC. I've been happy with all of these programs since 2012 when I switched from being a PC user to being totally in the Apple ecosystem. Outlook is also included, but I use Apple’s email app anyway. Therefore, I bought "Microsoft Office for iMac" that contains Microsoft versions of Excel, Word and PowerPoint. I do all my Excel work and article writing on my Mac desktop, so I wanted the original Microsoft version of both Excel and Word.

Using Microsoft Word and Excel on the Mac I also used it once to bring my entire system back to the previous day after being worried that I might have installed malware. I had used it already several times to go back in time to get older versions of files and to retrieve data I had deleted and needed again. The oldest files are removed when the drive gets full, so that the next backup can proceed successfully. It runs flawlessly in the background to keep weekly, daily, and hourly backups. It will take a long time at first, but each backup after that only copies files that were modified. Once that's done, Time Machine will seamlessly back up every hour.
