I was actually considering swapping out my MacBook Pro's hard drive for a 512 GB hard drive, and setting half of that aside for Windows 10, the whole Battle for Middle-earth Anthology, and various mods for each Bfme game. However, it sounds like I have to wait for the Bfme Saga modding tools to be ported to current versions of 3ds Max, first. Those are my thoughts on what Mathijs has brought to my attention, here.

If you are making a BfME section of your drive then I wonder if it would be good to set the OS as XP?

That would only be good if you planned to use that section offline only, as XP is about as safe nowadays as a shot-up banana-boat.

I use 3ds Max 8 on an old separate computer - with Windows 10 - as I often have to use the Fresh Start to get it to work. With OneDrive I transfer files back and forth quickly, and set up next to my main computer its like having a second screen.
