I'm at a loss as to where to go with this so maybe somebody in this group can help. I want to install Windows in bootcamp strictly so I can run the Assetto Corsa driving simulation. The problem is I am paranoid and believe in frequent backups, which I can't do in bootcamp without adding hard drives, backup software, etc. My solution is to keep everything in a download directory in my Mac partition and install it in windows from a flash drive, which is pretty much the way bootcamp does it. This would be fine for a simple executable that I could drag-and-drop but I have been told, perhaps wrongly, that I have to download this software directly to the bootcamp partition using the steam app, which also must be installed in the partition. Is that the only way to do it or is there a way to download the software to the mac as outlined above?
