You will require to follow the Boot Camp procedure if you want to run either windows OR OSX. If you want to run Windows within OSX, you will require the purchase of either VMware Fusion or Parallels which have their own installation requirements, but it also begins with boot camp. You should be able to google for a bootcamp install procedureReply by Grant Laing from Blended IT Solutions on Friday, 13 July, 2012 - 14:39
Hi, yes, you will need some virtual softwate to run this on your mac. here is the links for the software http://www.parallels.com/au/ http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/overview.html you will also need a licenced copy of win 7 as well. This will be the easist way to do it. I wouldn't worry about the bootcamp stuff, as will probably cause to many issues, and this way will mean you can still restore your mac easily if needed. You could also take advantage of a cloud based win7 machine as well.This way it would be managed and you wouldn't need to worry about the install. Feel free to contact us about this if you want more info.
