Hi folks,
I'm just looking to install a windows OS on an external drive to run on my laptop so I can start having a play around, perhaps run VEP for a spell, basically to start to get to know Windows before buying a dedicated PC.
Couple of quick questions:
1) Buying windows - I'm seeing prices for Win 10 Pro go from $15 for OEM then $40 to $150 for end user license; is it shady to buy one of the cheaper versions, or do they all tend to be legit? Could anyone recommend a reputable good value place to get it from?
2) Mac users running windows - do you recommend Boot Camp or Parallels or anything else to set up a windows partition?
Any other tips and thoughts welcome too,
Thanks!
