seriously thinking, coz I have one week to fix this, maybe it's time to just buy Windows laptop with touch screen like original plan, coz
touch screen would be handy as hell for
my
use case

turn off
updates coz I get impression software won't work on w10

and sell Mac air book coz I can't afford to deal
with this kind of random occurring problem and half a day to reinstall OS X to fix it, assuming I can at all

unlike OSX which, as you've seen, does not work at all, windows 10 works great.

it connects to a mannequin and simulates an ECG machine

als simulator by laerdal?? te mannequin cost fifteen thousand dollars and the fuckers still make you license the software even though it's meaningless without a mannequin

no it is for Windows but apparently won't run under w10

maybe to do with how it networks to the Manne1uin?

the next question is gonna be if I can make it network at all with w8 on laptop over usb->Ethernet Apple dongle

if it works in win8 it will probably work in win10. just install it and see.
