[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1640237, member: 46727"] It depends on which Windows programs you intend to run. If you're just going to run business apps such as Quickbooks or Office, then Parallels would be the better choice. However, if there are any graphic intensive apps that you need to run such as games, setting up Boot Camp as a dual boot is desired. Since the 21.5" iMac has no optical drive, setting up Boot Camp can be a bit daunting since you'll have to work with a Windows ISO bootable on a flash drive in order to install. Installing Windows via Parallels is easier as a legal copy of Windows can be downloaded direct from Parallels. [/QUOTE]
