How to install Windows on a Mac
Who uses Mac for a long time, maybe cringe a little nose at the thought of turning on your computer with the apple, and see to appear on the desktop of Mac OS X with its typical dock, the Start menu and the taskbar unmistakable Windows.
All this may sound strange, but perhaps not everyone knows that the fact that you install on your Mac even the operating system from Microsoft, represents the possibility of obtaining a very good source of additional resources that are not be underestimated: the next steps you will see how to proceed.
1.) In the meantime, have a system in Windows on your Mac will enable you to access the myriad of programs available in the free version (sharewere) high quality, or will allow you to enter the vast environment of video games for Windows. This possibility has occurred thanks to the passage of Apple (made in 2006) to Intel processors (which have replaced the old IBM PowerPC), who led the hardware architecture of the Mac to be the same as the classic Windows PC.
2.) In practice, if you want to run the Microsoft operating system on a Mac, you can choose two ways: use the special Mac free to download, or a virtualization program. The special software for the Mac indicated above, will show you, step by step, how to create a partition on the hard drive, install a genuine copy of Windows XP, Vista or Wndows 7 with drivers needed to allow your operating system to the new to recognize each hardware component of your Mac that’s done, if you turn on your Mac and press the Option key (ALT) on the left side of the spacebar, you can choose the operating system you want to start, Mac OS X or Windows.
This has the great advantage as the Mac, while Windows is running, takes full advantage of its hardware resources, it should be noted that the transition from one operating system to another is possible only by restarting the computer.
3.) With virtualization, you should not always choose the first operating system to start, but within Mac OS X, it uses a software able to create a virtual machine capable of imitating the hardware components of a PC with which to make the install and then launch a genuine copy of Windows (or other operating systems). It therefore ran the virtualizes operating system simultaneously with the main one, and in this case, there is no need to restart the computer to make the switch concerned actually a program that you can close, resize, or lead to full screen without any problems.
Also, Windows applications can be run directly from the desktop of your Mac This helps to greatly increase the workload for the Mac, which is for example, managing RAM and processor to allow the two to work two operating systems at the same time ..
