Hi guys,I am in the market for a new laptop--a MacBook in particular. I am wanting to use it mainly to run Windows 7 Home Premium in Boot Camp, so I can go back and forth and eventually get to using OS X more. I have JAWS 14, Microsoft Office, Sound Forge, and a few other programs here and there that I want to run. I have a large audio recording and music database, some of which can be transferred onto external storage if necessary.I am considering getting either the 2013 13' MacBook Air with the 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB ram, and 256 or 512GB SSD..or the 13' MacBook Pro with the 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8GB ram, and 750GB hard drive.My concern is mainly about performance. I have JAWS 14, which in my experience is rather memory-intensive. I also use Microsoft Office (mostly Outlook), Sound Forge, iTunes, and a few other miscellaneous programs. I currently have a Toshiba Portege R835 (2011) with an Intel Sandy Bridge i5 processor, and it runs JAWS fine. I am just concerned about that slower processor in the MacBook Air.So, I am looking for recommendations, please. Does anyone have any experience using Windows with JAWS and other programs on a MacBook Air/pro? If so, how did it run?Thanks,Michael
The Touch Bar of your MacBook Pro changes to show the function keys for you to select, and then it returns to its previous state when you release the Function key.
Restart the Mac: You may experience UI lag in your MacBook Air — animations and graphics that get choppy when they start opening apps or resizing windows. Click the Apple logo on the menu bar.
If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade. If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
Windows will think it’s running on a real computer, but it’s actually running inside a piece of software on your Mac. You don’t have to use your Windows program in the virtual machine window, either—many virtual machine programs allow you to break Windows programs out of your virtual machine window so they can appear on your Mac desktop.
In System Preferences, choose Keyboard.
Click Shortcuts.
From the left sidebar, select Function Keys.
Click the “+” symbol, then navigate to the app and select it.
Hp scan and capture software, free download. Now when you open or switch to this app, Touch Bar always displays the function keys.
You can also use an on-screen keyboard to access function keys:

You can also use the Windows on-screen keyboard to access function keys:
From the Windows menu, select the Windows Ease of Access menu item.
Click On-Screen Keyboard.
Click the fn key. The function keys appear in the on-screen keyboard.
You can also make the function keys appear continuously in the Touch Bar while using Windows, without having to hold down the Function key:
