Once you start to bring up Windows, remember that Windows does not understand that it is a GUEST on your computer.


Do not use any Windows-side Utilities to modify partitions in any way (e.g., Do Not resize the Windows partition using Windows-side tools), or it will clobber the partition Map and effectively wipe out your Mac OS X system.

This is a Core-M and slower MHz so it will be limited. Would expect though that Windows 10 even the current builds Tech Preview would be more suitable (and you can download the ISO from Microsoft for now for free remember). I use 10-TP on i7-4771 and it handles very nice.
