    If I delete my Windows Bootcamp Partition on my Mac, can I still use that copy of Windows...


    I currently use Bootcamp on my Mac and own a copy of Windows 10.

    I'm building my own PC and I'm curious if I delete the Windows partition off my Mac can I use that same copy of Windows on my new PC?

    I read somewhere when you activate Windows it gets locked to the specific PC.

    :)

    Bootcamp Partition Size

    Hi folks, I'm trying to install Windows via Bootcamp on my Mac Mini, but run into a problem where I can't seem to divide the space equally between two partitions. 77GB is as much as I can partition for Bootcamp, which is odd since I have so much free space. I've attached a screenshot to show the issue. I've tried Googling but can't seem to find a solution. Any help is appreciated!

    Installing bootcamp on my macbook pro....are there any negatives?

    Bootcamp can work well, ive seen it myself. You can delete the windows partition fine its like dual booting anything, you can increase the size of the mac OSX partition once the windows partition is formatted.

    Bootcamp was used to play games although on a mac system not a macbook.

    I dont use Macs myself but they are good for general surfing, media and video editing. That is why a lot of non gamers use mac as a lappy. Serious video editors use em too. Some prefer the interface too whatever floats your boat i guess.

    If I delete my Windows Bootcamp Partition on my Mac, can I still use that copy of Windows...

    Bootcamp question

    Your process will go:

    - Initiate bootcamp prep in MAC (Partition space for windows)
    - Should prompt you to insert windows disc and restart (May have to hold Fn button)
    - Install windows on the blank partition (leaving other partitions alone) as you would any other system
    - Once windows is installed, install the EXE you just downloaded for the Mac hardware and drivers.
    -Then install anything else you would normally after windows update and all.


    This is coming from memory, but I remember it being easy as pie.
