[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1590289, member: 110816"] First and foremost, you need a copy of Windows (regardless of what approach you take). To know whether to go with Windows 7 or 8, you should look at the requirements of the games you want to run and determine what fits the best. You can likely go with Windows 8. You likely don't need the Pro version just for playing games.. Now, as far as running games go, while Parallels and other virutalization software are getting better at running games, you are not going get the same kind of performance as you would if you ran Windows natively on the Mac.. So use [URL="https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/"]Boot Camp[/URL] and installed Windows natively and then use that to play games.. [/QUOTE]
