Q: What are the complications involved in bootcamp
Hi, I am looking at buying a new macbook pro fairly shortly. However only on the condition that some things work right on the boot-camp part.
I guess I have some questions.
1. What does it look like to switch between it being a mac and it being a pc, is their like an extra icon to click on on bootup or something?
2. Does it partition the hard-drive, do I need to have two installed somehow?
3. What are some common complications with doing boot-camp?
4. How sure can I be that it is compatible with the mac I am looking at buying?
5. Are their hardware compatibility issues? (like ports and graphics card etc)
6. Anything else you think I might need to know or be interested in?

1. Changing systems is accomplished by pressing Option at startup, or using the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences, or the Startup Disk control panel.
2. It partitions the internal drive.
3. It takes up more space, and the Windows system is as vulnerable as it would be on a regular PC.
4. All Intel Macs can use Boot Camp.
5. Not after the Boot Camp drivers are installed into Windows.
