Case Study take home, should I not use my work computer?

Have a case study that I have a few days to take, personally I have a MacBook and I haven’t used excel on it in over 2 years. Should I borrow a friends windows or would I be fine to use my work computer? Wouldn’t want to get into trouble. Thanks

Generally I think you're okay to work on it on your computer, but as others have mentioned just don't leave a paper trail on anything.

As an aside, hopefully you go 1 and done on recruiting (best of luck!) but if you're going to be recruiting for new positions, I would expect there to be a lot more take home case studies to work through...probably not a bad idea to go ahead and get yourself a personal windows computer...plenty of threads on here that point to you getting one sub $800
