Full disclosure: This is not my guide. This is a repost of a Stackoverlflow post - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46960358/installing-imagemagick-the… by user PhilipD. After hours of searching, this was the most complete and helpful guide we could find and it saved us hours of frustration. The post on Stackoverflow has been 'put on hold' because it's not really a question and so I'm reposting here.

Philip's instructions worked flawlessly, including replacing all of the 32bit x86 libs and dependencies with 64 bit versions on a Windows 10 Pro installation, also with IIS and PHP (PHP located in C:\php, and ImageMagick installed to C:\ImageMagick).

Here's the original post...

Here's a public service announcement for those of you fighting to a) prevent the Intel(R) Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology application from popping up after every login, and b) prevent the Intel(R) Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology Application Service from waking your computer from sleep mode.

The new Configuration Management system in Drupal 8 is excellent. When combined with our current Git/Capistrano workflow, it means that all content type and view definition changes can be exported to the configuration 'sync' directory, committed to source control, and pushed to the target deployment site (staging, production etc.).

In our case settings.php for the development and target sites have been updated to use a sync directory that's outside of the site root.

In the mid 2000s it was all about 'Services Oriented Architecture'. The hype machine is now squarely focused on microservices. SOA and microservices aim to solve two different problems, and as with most new architectural terms and patterns there is something good going on out there - it just takes a little digging to get to the good stuff.

Here are a few links on the topic...

**UPDATE**: Aug 05 2016: Surprisingly, the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (Version 1607) installed on this installation okay, although only via the VM (running under VMWare Fusion). It would NOT install when running from the bare-metal installation (option boot from EFI partition). Trying to install from the EFI booted partition results in the 'Cannot upgrade due to unsupported disk layout for UEFI firmware' error. Once the update was complete on the VM guest, it also booted fine from the EFI partition. I have no idea how, or why this worked. ;-)

**ORIGINAL POST**

A success story is a nice way to start the New Year. The internal drive on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) has been getting a little full, and the Boot Camp partition was taking up about 45GB of space. I also wanted to run a proper Windows machine (including developer tools) and 45GB wasn't really enough to do much. And so began my quest to see if I could achieve the following:

1. Install Windows 10 Pro (build 1511) on an external USB 3 SSD hard drive.
2. Have my MBP recognize this drive as a boot option when pressing the option key at boot (turning my MBP into a Windows computer).
3. Have VMWare Fusion recognize the external Windows installation as a valid Boot Camp source, allowing Fusion to run the _same_ Windows installation as a virtual machine while in Mac OS X.

Having switched to Nginx a while ago, I was recently asked to use Apache for a client installation. There have been some significant changes in 2.4 from 2.2, include the 'Requires' option.  I also wanted to create a virtualhost entry for Munin on this machine. It took a little while to figure this out, in particular on Apache 2.4. I'm also using the built-in cron task to generate graphs.

Here's how to upload/transfer a file server-to-server using PHP cURL (this is not a 'client' web form upload). The receiving server requires the top level key in the post data array to be 'file'. See the comments in the code.
