[QUOTE="Yasehtor, post: 1839337, member: 403751"] I have a 2014 MacBook Pro that I am looking to upgrade with a larger SSD as it only has 128gb now for more storage space. A key reason for this is that I have some programs (accounting and tax) that are only available in Windows software. I have read the pros/cons between using Bootcamp and Parallels and right now am leaning towards Bootcamp as I think it would meet my needs best. The Windows software I would be using is special purpose and while I will save some files in pdf I think using Acrobat and storing them on the Windows partition would work fine. From what I have read it seems the hard drive needs to be partitioned equally between the mac side and windows side. I am just wondering what others think of this approach. Also, wondering whether the Windows side of the hard drive needs to be backed up separately and how to best do this. [/QUOTE]
