W.o.W. Episode 10: Windows 10 x64 on a Mac Pro 2,1
7Today's 10th #WindowsonWednesday video is also a #MARCHintosh video! I didn't even try to time Windows 10 with this being the 10th episode!
Anyway, I somehow got Windows 10 installed on a Mc Pro 2,1 and managed to not throw the Mac out in the process! Seriously getting Windows to boot was a struggle, but I did eventually manage. I even ran some benchmarks and played a couple of games! And for the heck of it, I threw in an upgrade I had laying around...
