Given that the process is tricky, I have written down the various steps that are required to reach a fully-functional system. So, this past weekend, and armed with a ton of patience, I decided to wipe the internal SSD drive and install Windows 10 from scratch. It was time to repartition the drive and, noticing how I had not touched macOS at all for months… it was time to do the unthinkable: to kiss goodbye to macOS altogether. And this situation was starting to become problematic. It turns out that games like Black Mesa, which I just bought during the Xmas sale, require lots of space, duh. I have had to fight various issues like random reboots and poor graphics drivers though.īut then… I recently started running out of disk space on the Windows partition. That happened over 8 months ago and my experience so far has been positive. I didn’t like having the machine sit unused, so I decided it was time to fix the situation by installing Windows 10 on a separate partition. Last summer I realized that I was primarily using Windows on a less-powerful Dell OptiPlex 9020 and only occasionally used the Mac Pro for my personal projects-and even when I did, I used the Mac Pro mostly via VSCode’s remote SSH extension. Except… I have slowly drifted away from macOS towards Windows and this has put the machine’s future at risk. I love the hardware looks, its small form factor and its quietness, plus it is still fast enough for my needs I have no good reasons to replace it. Equipped with a 6-core Intel Xeon E5-1650 v2 3.5GHz, 32GB of RAM, dual AMD FirePro D500 graphics cards, and a 512GB SSD, it’s not a fast machine by today’s standards-but it’s still pretty decent. The Mac Pro 2013 is the most powerful machine I have at home.
