These can increase the performance of your graphics card even further, but beware-they may break functionality like the ability to change the brightness of your display. If you want to play games, you'll probably want to go and find the latest drivers for the particular graphics card in your Mac from either AMD or NVIDIA. Boot Camp Assistant will automatically remove Windows and expand the macOS partition for you, reclaiming all of that space. While you can set up tap-to-click and two-finger right-clicking, it just doesn't feel as nice as in macOS. Unfortunately, the trackpad doesn't behave so well on Windows, either. Boot Camp Assistant comes pre-installed on your Mac. Download your copy of Windows 10, then let Boot Camp Assistant walk you through the installation steps. Your mileage may vary, but it definitely doesn't stand up to macOS. Boot Camp is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows.

You'll most likely lose a few hours of battery life running Windows-with some reports of a 50% reduction in battery life. Windows, designed to run on lots of different hardware, is nowhere near as optimized, and it shows.

However, on the downside, if you use a MacBook, you may see some reductions in battery life and loss of functionality with your trackpad, as Apple designed it to work with macOS. That's because, generally speaking, a lot of games are written for Windows first and will often use DirectX (a Microsoft technology) the same games on macOS will have to make do with different technology, OpenGL, which is cross-platform and well-supported but generally less efficient resulting in lower performance.
