Is there any side-effect of using windows 10 on Mac-book pro??

I have installed windows 10 on my mac book pro retina-2015-13". Everything is working smoothly except that the battery life has reduced by at 2 hours. May this is because of windows inherent issues. I am ok with it. Now my only concern is about other side-effect of using windows 10 on mac-book. As here in India almost all government software and websites works only on windows, i have to install windows on my mac-book. Please suggest.

Hello there, amit83india.


From what I gather, you're wondering if there are any concerns with running Windows 10 on your MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article provides clarification on requirements and how to use BootCamp on your Mac:


How to install Windows using Boot Camp


Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need.

  • An Intel-based Mac
  • A Microsoft Windows installation media or disk image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later*
  • An Apple keyboard, mouse or trackpad, or a USB keyboard and mouse
  • At least 55 GB of free disk space on your startup drive
  • For some Mac models, you also need a blank 16 GB or larger USB flash drive

*If you want to install older versions of Windows, check to see if your Mac supports this. If you're installing Windows for the first time, use a full installation (not an upgrade) disc or disk image.


If you are having any other concerns or issues with particular features on your computer, the following links provide a good resource and information in that regard:
