Bootcamp Install Windows Inside

I dont want to repeat what others already said so I will instead list some other ways to run Windows on a Macbook without Boot Camp Assistant (namely, virtual machines) and point out advantages and disadvantages to each of them.

Basically, Windows will run inside an app but will think that it is running on a regular computer.

To install Windows inside a virtual machine you will still need to have an unused Windows license, same as with Boot Camp.

Best and most popular virtualization software for Macs are Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion and Virtual Box.

The app will configure everything for you, even download Windows or utilize the one you already downloaded via Boot Camp.

You can open Windows in a separate window (including a full screen mode), or you can turn on Coherence mode.

In Coherence mode the virtual machine will run in the background, while Windows programs can run alongside your Mac apps.

You can even put Windows programs on your macOS desktop or pin them to Dock.

Parallels Desktop allows you to copy and paste or drag and drop between Windows and macOS without any problems.

It is close to Parallels in terms of functionality and pricing, but VMwares Fusion supports a larger number of operating systems than Parallels.

Otherwise, these two programs are approximately on the same level.

If you need to run some resource intensive Windows programs, VirtualBox might not be the best choice for you.

VirtualBox also requires more technical knowledge than, for example, Parallels, as users need to tune some settings themselves when installing it.

However, if you are a power user already or dont mind doing a little more work, and you are not going to run latest Windows games or video-editing software, VirtualBox is a good (and free) alternative.
