I believe that you will need a license for both systems. I can try to create a podcast of steps. but here is what i remember. 1. have your windows disk ready. 2. Go to utilities and bootcamp. 3. start bootcamp and it will walk you through a wizard. It will ask you if you want to create a windows

I run mine with boot camp. It doesn't run within Mac OS. VMware fusion costs 50$ but it shares recourses with your Mac. Hope that can help! Sent from my iPhone On Sep 23, 2012, at 1:07 PM, Kimsan kim...@blindaccesstraining.com wrote: Hi, I finally have or found time to get started on this

I did some googling about bootcamp so I have this windows 7 professional disc for one of my windows 7 machines can I use that? Another question is can I run it on my dell machine, the macbook pro or will I have to install it using the mac. Holy heck, hope that made sense. We can skype if you want

Hi. If it is an OEM copy of windows, it probably won't work. If it's a microsoft developer version or a retail version, you should have no issues assuming you have your product key handy. Installing windows via bootcamp and having a dual boot system is a better idea than running windows virtually

Hi Cameron, I have run windows both in bootcamp and in VM Fusion. Both have advantages so I don't think you can say for sure bootcamp is better. Currently I'm running my Macbook pro with VM Fusion and Windows 7. I have many applications running on both systems and am changing

Yes running it virtually will work and you do have the advantage of being able to switch from mac OSX to windows without a restart. However, my main issues with running windows virtually is that running both operating systems side by side taxes your ram and processor a lot more and could also

Hi, in your finder, press command shift U. This will land you on your utility folder. In this folder is the bootcamp assistant. Run this. By the way, I think this was mentioned earlier in the thread but, you will need to get a retail or builder copy of windows. Ricardo Walker

Apparently paralels, for reasons I will never understand chose to draw their controls to the screen directly instead of using standard mac controls. Try as I might, I can think of no advantage to this only disadvantages, so to make it accessible, it would need to be rewritten, whoever made that
