Luckily, for the planners among us out there, all of the major streaming services (to some extent or another) allow users to download movies and shows for offline viewing.


But what happens when you don’t have a good internet connection? The $13.99 a month you shell out for Netflix doesn’t do you much good if you find yourself without a signal or on an airplane with Wi-Fi so poor you’ll be able to load your inbox at best. Or, open the Apple menu in macOS and select BOOTCAMP under System Preferences > Startup Disk to launch Windows the next time you start up your Mac.The promise of streaming is that, with a decent internet connection and enough cash to pay for a monthly subscription fee, you can essentially watch whatever you want, whenever you want it. Repeat the same, but select BOOTCAMP whenever you want to boot into Windows. Then, select Macintosh HD as the startup disk. To boot back into your macOS installation, reboot your Mac and press and hold the Option key at startup.

If you decide to activate Windows, open the Start menu and head to Settings > Update & Security > Activation. However, you’ll have to deal with an Activate Windows watermark and miss out on several customization options (such as the ability to set up a desktop background). Windows 10 will continue to work via BootCamp without activation. You can remove all downloaded content instantly by selecting the Trash icon next to Delete All Downloads. The Disk Usage indicator shows the amount of free storage in the Boot Camp partition, including the space occupied by the operating system and the Netflix app.
