( MBP-13 ) Win-10 performs better than OS-X

Sierra Update:

With MacOS Sierra Apple has made some performance improvements however MS-Windows-10 still performs better on a MacBook Pro than OS-X. If only Microsoft would get its apps to work correctly then Microsoft would be best. However after working with both OS's on the same MBP for over a Year. I can say that apps on OS-X is more reliable and stable than MS-Windows-10. With apps and OS stability.

So these benchmarks don't really mean much since MS-Windows-10 apps do not operate well.

Hardware Upgrade:

16gb. of Crucial ram is very stable. No problems.

I have heard that the Samsung Evo SSD is not supported in OS-X and maybe unreliable , However I have had not problems with it so far. I have taken precautions and made a back up of my drives.

If it does fail I will use a "Crucial MX300" SSD instead.

However as to date I have had no problems with it in the MBP 13 mid-2012

Have been using the Samsung Evo SSD for over a year now.

Macbook Pro mid-2012 is Rock Solid !....I Have had no problems since the hardware upgrades. Dual boot boot camp has worked flawlessly. I have done direct upgrades from Yosemite to El Capitan to Sierra. has work flawlessly.

All Windows-10 updates have worked flawlessly. To my surprise. I did not expect this dual boot MBP to be reliable. It is my most reliable computer.

Apple has made some improvements with MacOS Sierra 10.12.4 update.

Geekbench score has improved however Novabench score has gone down.
