Boot Camp is a free utility software designed by Apple, Inc. That allows users to install Windows OS (Windows XP, Vista and 7) or GNU/Linux OS on Intel-based Mac computers. This software features two programs- Boot Camp Assistant and Boot Camp. Boot Camp Assistant allows users to partition their hard drive as well as resize an existing HFS+ partition if needed. Typing ‘Boot Camp Assistant’ into Spotlight will bring up the utility's dialog box, informing the user of how it will help them to get Windows onto their Mac. Boot Camp will download the necessary drivers, create the NTFS-formatted partition on the startup disk, and start the Windows installer. Boot Camp Assistant is an Apple Mac OS built-in software that helps you to install Microsoft Windows on an intel-based Mac downloading the necessary support software, creating a partition on your disk for Windows, and then starting the Windows Installer.

If you're using an iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) or iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) or iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) with a 3TB hard drive and macOS Mojave or later, learn about an alert you might see during installation.
Boot Camp is macOS Mojave’s built-in technology that allows you to run Microsoft Windows 10 and (on some Mac models) Windows 7 or 8 on Mojave–capable Macs. If your Mac meets the following requirements, you can run Windows on your Mac (if you so desire):
- A Mojave–capable Mac (of course)
- A hard drive that isn’t already partitioned
- (Optional) A printer (for printing the instructions)
It’s optional ‘cause you could just email them to yourself … .
- A full install copy of Microsoft Windows 7 or newer (Windows 8 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate edition or Windows 10)
You really do need a full retail copy of Windows: one that was purchased in a retail box. If your copy of Windows came with your PC, you probably can’t install it in Boot Camp.
To install Windows on your Mac, here are the basic steps:
- Launch the Boot Camp Assistant application, which is in your Utilities folder.
This step creates a partition on your hard drive for your Windows installation. - Install Windows on the new partition.
From now on, you can hold down Option during startup and choose to start up from either the macOS Mojave disk partition or the new Windows partition.
If running Windows on your Mac appeals to you, you may want to check out Parallels Desktop (around $80) or VirtualBox (free). Both programs allow you to run Windows — even older versions like XP and Vista — as well as Linux on your Mac without partitioning your hard drive or restarting every time you want to use Windows. In fact, you can run Mac and Windows programs simultaneously with these products.
One last thing: Apple has a special Boot Camp support page on the web.
