So it seemed a no-brainer to use it with Bootcamp to create a dual boot system with Win 10. The Mac Mini was old and was destined as a backup in case something happened to my MBP, beyond that it would have done little more. I would not have used Bootcamp on my primary computer.

Win 10 actually runs a little faster than High Sierra on it, if you overlook the fact that every few days Win 10 wants to install new updates which usually take quite a while to complete. It works pretty well, despite the age of the Mac Mini 2012 and the fact that it runs a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, but it does have 16 GB of RAM. I used Bootcamp to partition the 500 GB HDD and Installed High Sierra on one partition and Windows 10 on the other. Still it might be an interesting experiment.Īfter I purchased my MBP 15" Retina a fews years back, I re-purposed my older Mac Mini 2012. Hum, I might try that, though I think that I would want to use a larger external drive for my purposes. That way you don't have to worry about partitioning. That might be a better choice for what you are talking about. As I remember, the biggest issue was setting up the partitions correctly.Īpparently, you can also make an external disk, such as a external hard disk or even a thumbnail, bootable and dual boot that way. Most people used it to boot between the mac and windows simulators. Dual booting has been around on the mac for quite a few years. Well, certainly you can do it, but you would need a pretty beefy machine to avoid resource issues.

However, that's just one reason why someone might want to run two versions of macOS on a single Mac, and I was hoping to start a discussion on options, pros and cons. However, Kindle for Mac will likely become problematic on Catalina since K4Mac 1.23.1 is 32-bit and there are issues getting the 64-bit version (1.25+) to work with Alf. The Calibre thread was addressing Kindle for Mac 1.23.1 and Alf's DeDRM tools, both of which run fine on High Sierra.
