[QUOTE="HeidiRaye, post: 1534539, member: 310344"] Hi, I'm a new user here and hope I can get some advice. We just purchased new computers for our business and I am trying to get them set up myself and although I am fairly computer literate, enough to do this with instruction, I need help. Our company uses iPhones, iPads, iCal, etc every day, it's a necessity. We also use quickbooks everyday on a PC. What we really need is to be able to use all of the Mac based items as well as have 2 people access and work on Quickbooks at the same time. As of now this is what I have to work with: 2 new iMac computers 1 new mac mini Quickbooks 2013 for Windows My questions: 1. What version of Windows do I need to get and install on the mini? 3. Boot Camp? Parallels? VMFusion? which one do I need? 2. How do I go about getting this all set up? From what I understand so far is we need to set up the mini as a PC, install a version of windows on it, then install QB on it. From there we set up the other 2 computers to run Mac OS but access the mini through a network to be able to access the QB file at the same time with both computers. Step by step instructions would be really appreciated in doing this as I do not want to compromise any of our company files or mess something up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, do I need to install QB 2013 to upgrade my 2009 version on our current PC before transferring files? Thanks. Heidi [/QUOTE]
