    Trying to install Microsoft Windows 10 Home License 64-bit


    I purchased and am trying to install the above but it keeps telling me I need to uninstall McAfee because it's not compatible w/Windows 10. I have uninstalled it but it still keeps telling me I need to uninstall it before I can continue.

  3. Windows XP 64-bit

    You may have to install Windows 64-bit after the 32-bit version for it to work right. I haven't actually tried dual-booting with it, but I do know that Microsoft's recommendation is to install Windows versions in order from oldest to newest in a multi-boot configuration.
