Q: Windows 10 on the Mac Pro 2012
Windows 10 came out last year, a mere two years after I purchased my 2012 Mac Pro, and this computer has zero support for Windows 10. I've attempted to run it anyway, and due to the lack of drivers it was a nightmare.
Why on Earth is Apple no longer supporting this powerhouse machine? The ENTIRE point of purchasing a tower like this is to replace parts inside it to give it extra life without buying an entirely new computer. I've done this, too... my computer has aftermarket ram, an aftermarket video card, and aftermarket peripherals for USB 3.0. The computer itself still operates magnificently (well, when I use Windows it does... in Mac I get problems with it not waking up - a well documented issue that has never been fixed), so why is Apple abandoning it on a software front?
I must say, I completely regret this purchase... Apple was a great company 5 years ago, but today they are failing on all fronts. I've abandoned the iPhone for Android due to software AND hardware inferiority (and a complete lack of innovation), and I've also abandoned Mac for Windows for 95% of my operations (I use Apple hardware with Boot Camp.) But now... now I'm going to abandon the hardware as well despite the fact duel-booting Windows 10 on my Macbook Pro works perfectly. You just can't trust a company like this... How long before my Macbook Pro is also considered obsolete and loses it's support? I mean, it's nearly two years old now! In general terms, that's around 25% of it's life... in APPLE computer years, however, that's evidently end of life. What a joke... I feel like the only thing Apple truly excels at these days is advertising and convincing gullible people that their products are still relevant in an increasingly competitive market
