I cannot remember if this is or is not the case as it has been a while. However, I think I recall that you must keep the Bootcamp partition when you use that option. As I say, I cannot remember if that was truly the case or whether I just elected to keep it but check it out just in case you

Yes, this is a bit fiddly. You’ll have to employ the VO mouse commands to route to the label that says “Add or remove” with VO-Command-F5 and then click with VO-Shift-Space. Now you’re in a table listing current and available disks; choose the one you want to drop and press Remove. Repeat

I recommend Pro because it does give you more control and more OS choices. There again, if all you want is to get a Windows VM up, it hardly matters which edition you choose. The completist in me is always happy for the extra flexibility though—things like whether the network adaptor can be

I had no idea that had an impact. I'll try a reinstall here as I did activate voiceover during the installation and I do notice some weirdness here. But that's an obscure bug that we should report if that is the case. They should find some other way to let you know the installation is done or

Except that it reboots part way through the install, if I recall it correctly then it does some progress bar thing which is inaccessible, which is what I think is being discussed here. So I don't recall it restarting after that completes. So the question seems valid still. How to tell which

Ditto! I have thus far resorted to using Settings to remove apps (General, Storage). Clunky, but it works. Since I don’t use 3D Touch at all, it’s also been very tempting for me to turn the feature off entirely. And yes, I already have it set to maximum firmness; I still keep hitting the

Hmm. Isn't the default a medium firm press? I left it set to the default and feel that I must press pretty hard to get it to activate. I'm not trying to be critical but it might be good to start training not to press so hard. It's a waste of energy and might contribute to unnecessary issues if
