<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nDual Boot means having two operating systems running on the same device. Users of Intel-based Macs can take advantage of it by using Boot Camp Assistant, a dual boot utility created by Apple. Using this method ensures you\u2019re getting the most out of your Macbook, utilizing all of its memory and processing power<\/strong>. However, you can\u2019t use both systems simultaneously, so you have to restart every time you want to use another system.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Easy to install.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- No performance loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can install it by using the built-in Boot Camp Assistant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Can\u2019t run both systems simultaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Virtualization<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBy using this method, you can create a virtual instance of computer hardware and use it to run multiple systems simultaneously. You need special virtualization software such as VirtualBox or Parallels to install Windows from within macOS. This way, you can use both systems without restarting the computer<\/strong>. On the other hand, the performance of the virtualized system will be noticeably worse since it can\u2019t use the full potential of your hardware. It\u2019s a great solution for multitasking when you have to use Apple\u2019s and Microsoft\u2019s apps simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPros:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- You can switch operating systems without restarting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You can share files between both operating systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Cons:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Noticeable performance-loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It needs third-party software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- At least 8GB of ram is required to work properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Run Microsoft Windows in Dual Boot via Boot Camp<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nFirst of all, Boot Camp requires a Mac with an Intel processor<\/strong>. But before you start the install process, make sure your Mac meets the following requirements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- 64GB of storage space is the bare minimum on your Mac startup disk, and 128GB is optimal to run both operating systems. Automatic Windows Updates require a lot of storage space, so make sure you\u2019re ready for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A bootable USB drive with 16GB capacity or more. This part can be skipped if you have one of the following Macs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO). You can download it directly from Microsoft by using Media Creation Tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Make sure you have a working Windows product key. You can grab Microsoft Windows 10 Home Retail KEY on RoyalCDKeys for only a fraction of the retail price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
If you meet all of these requirements, follow the instructions below<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
