I’m on a late-2013 MacBook Pro and I was thinking about setting up Bootcamp to play. I’m not terribly concerned about my specs, what I’m concerned about is: How much disk space should I spare when installing Windows? Also, do you suggest upgrading to Windows 10 afterwards? I wouldn’t want to upgrade only to have ToS start crashing bc of some obscure incompatibility issue.
btw #hype 
If you’re a gamer, ditch the mac and build a gaming pc. Saves you a lot of headaches later on.
I used every Windows version from 95 to 7 and I switched to OSX willingly. Most indie games nowadays are being developed for the Win/OSX/Linux trio and I play AAA games on console. Besides I’m a computer engineering student and OSX and its unix-likeness just feels faster and much more intuitive. inb4, I can’t use a Linux distro either because Adobe is holding me hostage.
It is simple, you will need the OS + Installation space + Steam + Game space requirements, you will also need to leave some extra space for game updates.
Any ideas on how much space that “game updates” part would take? The only other mmo I’m currently playing is Elder Scrolls Online and idk if its updates are an appropriate guideline for ToS.
Yo @Fewly if you’re planning to game on your MacBook Pro you might want to put around 40gb to 70gb just to be safe… I also use bootcamp as of now in my iMac 2011, currently I allocated 120gb for windows because I play alot of games AHAHAHA
the extra space is for faster processing/ extra space for updates etc etc.
BTW don’t use parallels AHAHA just use the bootcamp itself it’s much faster
the only drawback is when you need to switch you need to do a restart
Game updates are endless as long as the game is alive, but as @Mikonkey said, 70GB might be enough for a long time.
@Mikonkey Thanks for giving some concrete numbers 
I think I will go with ~100 GB just to be safe.
@Nirimetus Tbh I’d never thought of mmo updates as being cumulative. I think I should look into how they really work bc that doesn’t sound manageable :𝖮
If you take consideration of new content then yeah, it is cumulative, be it small or big, Warthunder is an sample of it, when i started playing there wasn’t tanks yet, the game size was around 11 GB, now with the tanks it goes close to 16 GB, and they still adding tanks i think.
Go for Windows 10 
I played iCBT2 & kOBT (and subsequently kTOS) on Windows 10 Bootcamp with no problem. My partition is 100 GB.
I’d suggest a Xbox One controller to go along with it 
truly amazing
PS: Using a Late 2014 Mac mini
Macs are good… for people who don’t play games.
Salvador is on the right track here.
Yeah, feels like that instead of patching files, they’re adding new ones…
Oh if you can handle ESO updates, you don’t need nearly as much space. We don’t have massive 10+ GB patches, in fact the game currently takes up less than 10 GB.
