So much for staying connected at home—this summer I’ll be away for a month and only have an old Macbook from 2015. It’s got one USB-C port and a headphone jack, which is decent. I was curious if Overwatch would even work on it. Probably not, but I figured I should check. The specs are pretty basic: 1.1 GHz Intel Core M (with turbo up to 1.3 GHz), 8GB DDR3-1600 memory, and the Intel HD Graphics 5300. I’m sure it won’t run smoothly.

Probably at reduced levels unless you're lucky. You'll find out only after you give it a try.

Avoid splitting a section of the drive during boot camp to prevent issues later.

Overwatch isn't particularly demanding on the CPU, so you might find yourself limited more by the graphics side

He uses an Intel 4000 series GPU and achieves 15 FPS, so increasing to 25 might help. But keep in mind—Mac vs. PC performance can differ.

Keep the PC at home and connect the desktop from the MacBook remotely.

Maybe I should consider keeping the PC running at home, but I'm not very comfortable with remote desktop setups.
