Been running Legacy on my iMAC for about 3 years now and it can be done as previously indicated via Parallels, Fusion or Bootcamp (comes on the iMAC) - you do need to load Windows no matter which one you use. Using Bootcamp operates your MAC as though it were a regular PC. The only drawback on the Bootcamp is that you have to restart in either the MAC side or the Windows side. Parallels and Fusion will let you run either - the only drawback I had with both these is that the MAC needs you to intervene with the Printing feature depending on which system you are printing from, and even that tends not to work at times. All the gurus in India were unable to resolve this issue for me. Bootcamp presents fewer problems that I have encountered.
