Q: Can I buy any copy of Windows and run it on my Mac with Boot Camp?
I was thinking about buying Windows and running it on my Mac. I was also wondering if I could like put Windows on an external hard drive plug it into my computer and then use it that way? Would that work?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
