Pop in a Fedora 26 or Windows 10 DVD, problem solved. Lots and lots of shops run Windows and Linux on Mac hardware.
I was actually thinking that was the best way forward.

I bet 20% of Macs sold to business end up this way. I know so many shops that are 100% Mac hardware, 0% MacOS.

And by so many, I mean a few. But I know some, and I know zero that use Mac hardware and all run MacOS. Thirty years of consulting, seen many of the former and zero of the latter.

I was under the assumption you wanted to use Mac OSx, hence the post.

I don't want to use OSx... I just wanted to see if there was a fast way to just refresh the OS.

Start with Fedora since you dont have Windows licenses for those. With Cinnamon, just tell them it is Windows 11 Preview.

Fedora has problems with power settings on Max hardware

We have a doc that demanded a Mac laptop, even knowing that he will have to have windows to access some remote access stuff. /sigh

Does Windows 10 automatically detects all drivers or we still need the boot camp drivers?

No boot camp needed
