Hey there, Matt. I own a MacBook Pro Retina and have previously attempted to run Windows 8 on a separate SSD partition. Back then, when I last used Windows, I encountered significant performance problems with the high-resolution display. I’m curious if anyone knows how Microsoft is handling scaling in Windows 10 now. I’m considering switching to a different OS rather than changing hardware, but if scaling remains problematic as it did with Windows 8, that would be a major concern for me. I’ve checked online, but much of what I found seems to be rumors or outdated information since Microsoft announced the new OS name. Any updates on scaling performance for Windows 10 would be appreciated. Thanks!

Windows 10 can handle resolutions as high as 8k. Yes, there are ongoing efforts to improve DPI scaling, and several reviewers have shared their thoughts on this.
