Which laptop do you prefer for multiple accounts?

[incniu]

macbook air or windows ?

1. can you run many accounts on macbook air?

2. still prefer win 7 to have many account on one machine.

3. Win 10 takes trouble to change users..

Why does win 10 take trouble to change users?

[rsot]

I still use windows - and I still rock windows XP on one machine

[BigCJ]

windows 7 on a touch screen works wonders for my stealth needs.

The key point for me is the bigger the ram/drive, the more accounts I can run without laggy hiccups.

I myself use the same windows 7 configuration on all 5 laptops I usually run. been doing it for years withy zero issues. On one of my laptops I have more than 400 user accounts and there is no slowdown in switching between them (and its one of my older laptops).
I find 8GB of Ram or more plus a decent speed SSD will increase productivity significantly.
With the sales after Christmas coming up its a good time to look into upgrading to an SSD if you dont have one already - regardless of what laptop you use.

Let me offer my opinion on this, because not only do I have one (doesn't everyone) but I feel strongly from my personal experience-

1) 8GB of RAM (at least) will make a HUGE difference in speed (which, since you're doing the same thing over and over, even in little bits, the improvement really adds up). Also a SSD (especially in combination with a good amount of RAM) will really add to your efficiency. Can't recomend this enough, for Windows OR a Mac.

2) Windows 7 is something I'd recommend- highly... not only is Windows 7 what I'm used to, and it's much easier to change the settings to what I like (and less likely to be automatically reverted to Microsoft's preferences automatically by Microsoft like Windows 10 is supposed to be doing soon). Pick an operating system you know how to handle- and manipulate, such as settings. This is how you'll be most effective.

3) and the last one- Macbooks (even the AIR Macbooks) are snappy, very easy to switch between accounts, and though they work great with wifi and so on, they seem to work extra-snappy (or smooth, not sure how to explain it) on a tethered iPhone for interenet connection (compared to any laptop connected to any random wifi/mifi/similar connection.... I don't know if it's in my head (don't think so) or actually that much of a difference, but as I mentioned somewhere else a while back in a post from back when I first discovered this, and it's been my preference since. A Macbook (any, with a good amount of RAM) working off the internet connection of a tethered iPhone seems to work extra smooth. Of course this also depends on the quality of the service to the phone... but very consistently have I made mental notes of how well they work together.

I'd say you could easily put 10-20 accounts on either a Windows 7 or Macbook with a good amount of RAM and run them smoothly, just be sure that you're familiar with the Stlth rules and keep them separate.

That's just my 2 cents- what I've discovered from my experience... maybe some people will agree or disagree.

Would it cost money to downgrade from an windows 10 to windows 8?

I usually use Windows 7 or 10 as my main OS and then run VMware to manage all my stealth accounts, on my vmware images I usually use a lite version of XP and usually have 5 windows images running at the same time without any real lag

[oompaloompa]

whats the change user process for win 10 ?
I do not like the interface for 10 personally, for anything, and certainly not accounts......

[incniu]

VMWARE takes lots of disk space, and make the whole system slow down..

Is it stable for how accounts you can add?

That's not how computers work. Something that needs a lot of disk space doesn;t mean it will make the computer will run slow.

Nontheless you do need a decently fast CPU and a decent amount of RAM to run virtual machine, since you're literally running two or more operating systems at once.

For Mac, you get Fusion. For Windows, get Player or Workstation.
Player is free, but the other are not. Consider it as a business investment and it's worth it in the long run.

VMware is working good on MAC

Why 400 accounts? Really?

How long it takes to make them?
