Windows 10 on 2009 Macbook Air


i finished installing windows 10 on 2009 macbook air - 1.86ghz, core 2 duo, 2gb ram, fitted long time ago after market 60gb owc ssd.

when yosemite still on there - , running dog might add - booted in recovery partition , formatted yosemite partition. not bootcamp install - had burn windows 10 iso dvd drive , install windows 10 usb superdrive. windows 10 installer let me re format main partition, os x recovery partition still there if wish go back.

installing windows 10 took quite while, , post install pretty sluggish, plus fan going mad. after time settled right down.

tried various flavours of bootcamp, of apple had helpfully crippled in installer , wouldn't install no reason. though bootcamp 4 drivers installed when run in compatibility mode.

on apple front, none of keys changing screen,volume or keyboard backlight work. trackpad, wireless, bluetooth working - although bluetooth cannot disabled or cant find out how :) screen brightness can adjusted via nvidia control panel. battery life 2-2.5 hours 6+ year old machine , been around bit!

there 1 'coprocessor' device listed in windows device manager having no driver, pointed windows driver update tool @ bootcamp folder , fixed itself.

windows 10 runs absolute champ. way snappier yosemite on geriatric machine, long accept fixed 2gb of memory going limiting factor, , fans spin , down sometimes.

windows 10 , ms office 2016b installed, plus few other bits, there's 34gb of free space on ssd.

overall though i'm impressed how windows 10 performs, no means sluggish @ all!

Sean Penn, "Chapo Guzman", and Rolling Stone

if you've spare twenty minutes or (and inclination) take @ sean penn's rambling account of meeting (then) fugitive mexican drug lord "chapo" guzman. its interesting on number of levels. not quality of sean penn's journalistic work. first observation had there remarkably little actual interviewing going on. penn's limited spanish ("hola" , "adios") played part. guzman made number of statements, claiming turned narcotics because there no other means of earning living. beyond that, nothing groundbreaking. sean penn himself of polarizing figure. guy rose fame jeff spicoli fancies himself of outlaw journalist, without writing chops of hunter s. thompson. prose of intelligent man; stylist ambitions out of reach of abilities. uses word "brume" describe aftereffects of bout of flatulence. pretentious word (i presume) not technically accurate. mentions twice expensive wristwatches sported guzman's so...
