Getting onto Windows from the Macs in Sculpture's Tech Room

Hi Digital Hand,

Please follow the below steps Daniel Ritter sent us regarding using Windows from our Macs in Sculpture's Tech Room:


1. Shut down the machine normally (do not just power it off)

2. Start the machine up, holding down the "option" key on the keyboard

3. You will be presented with a screen where you have to click on either the "Macintosh" drive or the "Windows" drive: click on the Windows one to continue starting up.

4. Once prompted, log into DCE as you would expect. Then you should be ready to go.

    Thanks Bonnie, we realized yesterday that that was important info that just flew by unnoticed somewhere.

    You are welcome, Jakub.

    Del and I were aware that Daniel wanted to switch the Virtual Box application to Bootcamp, as the latter lets Windows perform faster (and with less crashing) on the Macs. I wasn't aware the Tech Room had officially made the switch until Jarred emailed me a note saying he was having problems getting in. It took Daniel a lot of time to convert us to Bootcamp- so I am pleased it is done. I hope you all have an easier time getting onto Windows now!
