Running Windows on Mac, on a budget

2014-02-26 Thread Traci Duncan
Hi all, I have a day dream/goal to happen before the end of the year. I'd like to have a Mac to run Windows via parallels. We are on a budget, so buying a super duper iMac is not doable. I was wondering about a Mac Mini for running Windows. We have a TV that can be used as a monitor and we

Well at times running windows on a mac is more a nightmare than a day dream in my experience. But once you work through all the headaches, it can be done pretty well. First, you won't be using Parallels. It's not accessible. You'll have to use VMware fusion if you want a virtual machine or of

Hi. I've had no trouble running windows seven ultimate 32 bit or 64 bit via bootcamp. It'll most likely be the best option. You're going to have an easier time using a native install as opposed to a virtual machine. And as for hardware/driver/application conflicts, I've had none to speak of with

Thank you for the advice so far. I don't know why I said parallels, what I really meant was Boot Camp. I do want the experiences to be separate. If I have a windows installation cd and I'm using boot camp, are the drivers found automatically for me? Traci On Feb 26, 2014, at 10:03 AM,

Yes, that is why Apple have the App called Bootcamp. When you go to Bootcamp and start the process, it will require a usb drive to download the latest drivers. Also, keep in mind, many sighted people use Options to pick which operating system to boot from, but with Bootcamp you can go to

There was a write up about this. It pretty much count the times you hit enter and left and right arrows. But if you forget a step, you will get stuck. Technically to answer your question, installing Windows is not accessable. You can do Bootcamp untill you hit the Install Button. After that it
