The iMac is no speed demon but if you are not into gaming, I think Windows 10 performance on the iMac 2007 is pretty snappy. But I am pleased to say that all seems to go well. If the install is not successful, well at least I have tried and failed. El Capitan has just been released and I will be trying that in place of Maverick. So this article is written with the main aim to dual boot Maverick and Windows 10 64bit. So in the meantime I have downgraded to Maverick to enjoy a more stable environment. It is unfortunate that a supposedly stable OS based on the Mach kernel can be so sentimental at times. A quick search on Google suggest that I am not alone in this. It is completely random and very frustrating. I have had Yosemite installed on my 24″ iMac but find that it has been giving me random reboot from time to time. These days it does not make a lot of sense to use a 32bit OS unless we are dealing with really really old hardware with 2GB ram or less. Wouldn’t it be great if we can install Windows 10 on the iMac to make it even more useful? And while we are at it, why not make this a 64bit install too. In fact Windows 10 with its “ Compact OS” feature have an even smaller footprint than Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 is known to run well on older hardware. I think the iMac 2007 is a reliable machine and still looks gorgeous by today’s standard and it will be great to be able to extend its life for a few more years. The 24″ iMac 2007 is an 8 year old desktop and most people would deem this as a dinosaur in today’s context.
