Hello,
What a great Forum. I'd be lost without you folks.
Sr. Citizen now, very, so please put up with me a bit.
Have several questions, so will list them all here, rather than separate Posts.
Have a new iMac desktop. Sure is a lot to know.
Hate to admit it, but, frankly, I miss a lot of the nuances in setting it up, etc.
a. Using the Parallels program, I installed, apparently successfully, W10.
But it did not ask me for a Credit Card. Can't believe it's free ?
Haven't played with it yet, but the W10 Desktop, etc. sure looks correct.
Am I supposed to pay for this W10 install, somewhere ? Did I miss something (as usual) ?
No screen came up asking for ?
b. I would like to pick an actual size for the W10 partition.
But the only thing that came up during the installation process was a Slider with words
like Max., Medium, etc. No actual numbers to select a partition size.
Is there some way, or just put the slider in the middle, and live with it ?
How can I get some idea of how the HD was actually partitioned ? If so, how do I change it ?
c. With Parallels now installed, what is the best and easiest way to actually switch
between the Apple and W10 sides ? Hopefully without any Password requests.
d. I have those "radio looking arcs" on the top bar.
How can I check if the pc is using a WiFi connection, or my Ethernet ?
e. If I insert a USB stick, how do I access it to see what is on it from the iMac ?
To put an item on Desktop, just drag it ?
Thanks again; really appreciate the help,
Bob
