1. When I backup my wallet.dat on the Mac, can I use that file on a PC?
2. Trying to keep costs down - would a micro pc like this work:

Thanks!
Hi. Yes, the Mac Hyper wallet is not supported currently.
1. Yes. I've personally used my wallet.dat files from a PC and moved them to Ubuntu. You should always keep a copy of your wallet.dat file before transferring it. I would suggest keeping it on a flashdrive from your Mac. Then after you install the wallet on the new Windows machine, close the wallet, and copy (so you have a copy on your flash-drive too) your wallet.dat to your Windows computer into the folder C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Hyper.
Then when you run the wallet again, after it syncs, your funds should be the same as before.
2. Personally I think it will work fine, because Hyper doesn't seem to need much to run, but I can't be completely sure on this. I don't believe there are minimum requirements listed for running the Hyper wallet. Maybe someone who knows more about computers can handle that question.
Thank you for the response. Hopefully someone else will chime in about the hardware requirements.
