Firstly hello to everyone.
Im brand new to Mac this week, My girl friend has gotten herself one of those iMac thingys for her university work.
So I didn't buy this for gaming and haven't really ever been into tech before so I don't mind you speaking to me like you would your gran. However I do enjoy playing a few games.
Anyway I downloaded Steam (for games) and got myself Shogun2 Total war, only to find that you can't play it on a Mac (as I said I'm clueless). So upon further reading I have seen that most games are not supported by Mac
I have read here on one of your stickies and on various places on the web about installing Windows through Boot Camp. I have already have Boot Camp pre loaded onto my Mac. I can't however as is advised in the sticky, read the instructions, it only gives an option to print (but i haven't got a printer).
So I guess what i want to know is, and what i can't seem to find answers to is; Is it difficult to install windows? Once installed is it easy to use both OS, and is it easy to uninstall should i want to? is it risky to install windows? Will it slow down or cause any performance problems? Will it open me up to risk from viruses, and will i have to buy anti virus software ect?
Finally is Windows my only option if i want to play games?
I already have and will continue to do plenty of reading online about this subject
Thanks in advance for your help.
Mike
