Setup is simple and safe for your Mac files. After you've completed the installation, you can boot up your Mac using either Mac OS X or Windows.

(That's why it's called Boot Camp.) Or if you want to run Windows and Mac applications at the same time -- without rebooting -- you can install Windows using VMware or Parallels software.

Boot Camp allows users to create a partition on a Mac and install Windows.

Unlike virtualization apps like Parallels or VMware Fusion, Boot Camp users must restart their computers to use Windows.

 

Now you can dual boot your Mac with Windows 7! Finally. The recent update for Bootcamp (to 3.1) includes support for Windows 7.

 

With 2 downloads one for 64-bit and one for 32-bit versions of Windows 7, the download also requires an authentic copy of Windows 7 or Windows 7 upgrade, and is only supported on more recent Intel-based Macs; no Macs produced before 2007 will support Windows 7, as outlined in this Apple support page.

If you're upgrading your Mac's other side from Windows Vista to Windows 7, you'll first want to download and install the
Boot Camp Utility for Windows 7, which "safely unmounts the read-only Macintosh volume on Microsoft Vista."

**Note: If you are already running Windows 7 on your Mac in Boot Camp, you can simply run Apple Software Update while booted into Windows to get the updated Win7-friendly drivers.

 

Here is a demo showing how to run and setup bootcamp for the first time.

 

And another video showing what Boot Camp is all about.

 

Use one of our HDMI to Mini Displayport Adapters with your 27 inch IMac and  you will have the best of all worlds.

 

Windows and Mac OS from the iMac, and the ability to bring PS3, Xbox, and Blu-Ray to the iMac screen as well.
