Benjamin Levicek Both Apple die-hards and Windows users say that Microsoft's system just doesn't belong on Apple's computers. macOS fans because they love Apple and don't want to clutter their computer with a system they can't even see, while Windows users mock fans of the Californian giant for buying Apple devices and still running Windows on them. But let's be honest, not a single system can be called perfect in any case, either from the point of view of optimization by Microsoft or the absence of some programs on macOS. Some users simply and simply need both systems at the same time to function, and investing in two computers would not be worthwhile for them. So today we'll show you how to run Windows on a Mac with an Intel processor. Windows cannot be installed on Macs with M1 for now.

Boot Camp, or a functional tool from Apple
The easiest, but not always reliable, way to install Windows on Apple computers is through Boot Camp. I can assure you that if everything goes well at first, even a moderately advanced user can carry out the process, but in the opposite situation there are unpleasant problems that will also be mentioned in the article. First of all, download the .iISO file - a disk image that will allow Windows to be installed. You can find this disk image at Microsoft website. Open after download Finder, where are you in the folder Application unclick utilities, and here go to Boot Camp Guide, or find this application in Spotlight.
The wizard prompts you to configure Windows. If the application does not search .ISO file, you will have to put it on him direct. Then you set how much disk space should be freed up for the partition on which Windows will be installed. Remember that you cannot change this data later, so think about how often you plan to use Microsoft's system and how much space you need for him. Also, especially for VoiceOver users with visual impairments, I would like to point out that this slider cannot be opened with a reading program, so you will need to ask a sighted person for help. Finally tap on Install, to start the process. If necessary, authorize.

As I mentioned in the introduction, the installation is not completely flawless in all situations. For example, you may get an error message about an installation failure. For solution try first restart the computer and the procedure mentioned above perform again. If you still can't get to the successful end, it may be damaged .ISO file, so try it download another, or the same one again. If even this procedure does not work, the Google search engine often helps - just enter the error code that Boot Camp shows you. With a high probability, you will see results from discussion forums where other users have faced the same problem and you will find the cause.

After solving all problems and installation, the system will switch to Windows. At this moment it is necessary to go through the basic settings - enter username and password, connect to WiFi and fulfill other requirements that the system asks of you. One of them will be the assignment product key, which serves as a Windows license. You can purchase it, but it is not necessary to enter it immediately. Windows can also be run for free, just be aware that some more advanced features may not work properly.

It will then be displayed Install Boot Camp, which will install all the drivers and you can happily use Windows. However, I must point out one important fact to visually impaired users. Before you Boot camp service installation opens, sound drivers are not activated in Windows. So ask someone without a visual impairment to guide you through the first run. Subsequently, the screen reader should also work correctly. You switch between systems by starting the computer hold the Option key, and in the menu for help hip choose, which system you want to run. You can also restart your computer from macOS to Windows using startup disk, from Windows to macOS thanks again system tray.
Windows virtualization can link both systems almost perfectly
Another way you can activate Windows on your Mac is with a virtualization program. The biggest advantage of this kind of boot is that the device runs both Windows and macOS at the same time, so the system does not take up so much space. In addition, virtualization programs are able to integrate with the system so perfectly that, for example, programs that are available for both systems do not need to be installed separately on Windows, as you can access them through the virtual machine. Another benefit is economy, when software can work with power management on a Mac much better than Windows launched via Boot Camp.

The biggest problem is the high purchase price, which is in the order of thousands of crowns. In addition, you often have to pay for updates of these programs, which is not a low investment at all. Furthermore, it is necessary to note that both running systems are able to flood the machines with more demanding tasks, while Windows running through Boot Camp uses the full potential of the entire device.
The most popular tool for virtualization is Parallels Desktop, another popular software is VMwareFusion.

The installation option is great if you do development through Visual Studio and it's so hacked on a Mac that you can't work with it...
Hello, I have a problem, I installed Windows 10 according to the instructions above. Everything was fine, but then when I wanted to go back to MacOS, the software to go back was not there at all. Windows seems to have completely pushed out the original, so I'm asking you how do I get the original MacOS software back on my Macbook Air? I now have a Macbook, but only with Windows 10
