    The Bootcamp discussions are full of W10-related issues.

    Hi! I've been running Windows 7 Pro on my Mac Mini for a year now. Very stable. I reserved my Windows 10 upgrade and went for it. Awesome, brilliant, excellent! The first MS Windows in it's history to upgrade so smoothly. After upgrade, plug in your old Bootcamp thumb drive and reinstall. Go to Windows 10 Start Menu>Apple Software Update and check box Boot Camp 6 and update Boot Camp 5 to 6. It is creepy smooth and the best Windows yet. I could not believe after all these years MS also includes a RESET in Control Panel. It wipes out itself and reinstalls clean. (Careful! Once you use Reset you can't revert back to 7) Just reinstall your software and apps. Amazing! Has all the functionality of Windows 7 for Network and Software compatibility mode. None of this affected my OS X installation. After 30 days you can't revert back to Windows 7. I bought another Win 7 Pro just in case but don't need it. 10 is the best Windows, have fun. Cheers!
