After 25 years of using PCs I've been looking at buying a MAC (best quality hardware). Can I delete the Mac OS and just use Windows 10 for all my programs (no dual boot)
Why spend the money to buy a Porsche and then install a Volkswagen motor in it ????

Whether he runs Windows in BootCamp environment or uses an emulator like Parallels, VMWare, or Virtual Box, getting a Mac to run Windows makes sense on many levels. <snip>
Yes but the OP was talking about DELETING the MacOS and not even using it, and just buying the Mac strictly to run Windows.

I'd like to thank all the people who responded. It gave me a lot to think about!

i agree in the last three years having the ability to run windows virtually along side OS X and have the ability to share disks and devices,files has made using the computer that much better

Sure having the ability to run both type of programs makes a lot of sense. I utilize that feature at work.
At work we also have IT support for problems. And honestly, problems do occur, and almost all the problems that occur are on the Windows portion or because of it.
I'm not trying to start a war or put down Microsoft, many people love it and get along well with it.
But I'm just saying, here on my home computer, where I don't have IT support, I don't have any Microsoft programs installed, and I have had very few problems.

Understood. Hopefully he understands more about his options, now.
Once you go Macwards, you never go backwards! But you can go sideways to run another OS or two.

Oh, yeah. That's why IBM bought 130,000 Apple devices over the last year or so. Their VP IT says they save money every time they install a Mac instead of a PC!

My experience as well. As an IT staff person, winblows was a constant source of problems, day in and day out :)
I moved my home systems to Mac, and never looked back... it has been great ever since.
