=============================================================================================
Firstly, should I upgrade the OS to the latest (OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.12 Sierra) if allowed? I rather stay with OS X 10.10 Yosemite if the later OS will lead to "slow" performance.
Secondly, I would love to have dual boot (Mac + Windows 10) on the MacBook5,2 with the specification shown above. Is this possible for this older upgraded (6 GB RAM and 1TB hard drive) MacBook 5,2? If Windows 10 Pro is not possible, what about Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 8.1?
What would be a good "How to" (with links) to accomplish this task? Thanks!
