Can Boot Camping Windows 7 slow down my MBP?

"Please tell me this is not true"

It is not true, at least in my years of experience and now having a Boot Camp partition on my rMBP.

There hve been a few posts here saying that they experience a slowdown but I have trouble understanding how this could happen.

Hey there!

I had a question about Boot Camping Windows 7 64-bit onto my MBP Retina. Basically, I am wondering if I will notice any drop in speed on my Macbook Pro if I install Windows onto a separate partition. I have read this is not possible, but some people have reported that it can slow down your Mac currently and long-term. I have also heard that if I decide to restore my Mac into a single Mac-driven partition (ridding away the separate Windows partition in general), that I still might experience some issues. Please tell me this is not true.

Thanks in advance.

This is not true 🙂

Someone will always - and every new Apple OS has users clamering that SL and then Lion and now ML have all made their computer run slower, they have trouble and need more RAM and sluggish performance.

Longer boot? sometimes, even when they reset the default - or some always use Option key.

And impossible to know what they did or didn't do or the general health of the hard drive etc before and after.
