[QUOTE="AlanOstaszewski, post: 984969, member: 64646"] Hello, One possibility would be to run Windows 10 on your Mac in a virtual machine. Depending on what software you need for learning, it might work. However, software that is more demanding can run very slowly in a virtual machine. Virtualisation software are for example VirtualBox and the best known: Parallels Desktop (but it costs money). The better solution, however, would be to install Windows 10 next to MacOS. Keyword: Dualboot or Bootcamp. This way, Windows 10 does not run "virtually", but natively with better performance. According to Apple, this is not supported for your old Mac.
