Frankly why not go to Best Buy and purchase a cheap Windows PC, it will far superior to any method involving your Mac, and only slightly more expensive

Mar 3, 2016 6:29 AMby Thor737,Thanks all for the advice. I ended up installing Windows 10 via Bootcamp. Someone here wondered why I didn't just buy a cheap PC to use. I ended up buying a new MacBook w/ 256 GB. I have wanted a new laptop for some time now and I got rid of all my PC/Android stuff some years ago. You can find some Youtube instructional video's that walk you thru loading Windows 10 via Bootcamp, however, there are some drivers that will cause problems when the Bootcamp portion of the installation begins, so beware. It is a fairly easy fix involving opening the Bootcamp folder in the download file and deleting the offending files before beginning the install. Otherwise, the MacBook handles it very nicely! I only need the Windows option for the month I will be in training and after that will delete Windows forever! For now, the Windows option works with the interactive training website that I need to use so, problem solved.
Thank you all for your help with this issue.
