[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 805032, member: 2960"] I would also add that BEFORE you even think about installing Windows, be it though Boot Camp, Parallels or whatever... that you take the time to evaluate why you need Windows on your Mac in the first place. Don't make installing Windows a top priority... especially when you don't even have a Mac yet. Take the time to learn OS X first. I would wait at least a month before even considering a Windows install. More often than not, you will be able to find software or other methods to achieve the result you were planning on using Windows to attain. This would negate the need for a Windows install period. If you only need Windows for "one thing", and you already have a working Windows machine, then there is no need to install Windows on your Mac. That "one thing" could potentially eat up a huge amount of space and resources on your Mac. [/QUOTE]
