[QUOTE="mariah, post: 1532985, member: 197520"] I managed to figure out what you have to do, without downloading any extra software. You need access to a Windows PC. Copy over your .exe file onto a USB and then open it up on the PC. When you open it up, or execute the file, it will ask you for your product key. Enter your key and follow the prompts. Windows will then begin downloading onto your PC, but don't freak out it won't install automatically and you won't be accidentally using up your software, which is what I was worries it would do. You'll get to a screen that gives you installation options. Click 'Install by Creating Media' and then, if your iMac doesn't have a built in optical (cd/dvd) drive, as mine doesn't, choose the second option which is to create an ISO file. It will tell you to burn it to a DVD later, which you can do if you have an optical drive for your mac. If you don't, once the ISO file is created, you can just drag it over to a USB and then pop it back into your iMac and boom! bootcamp installation is easy as pie. Thanks for the help everyone.
