Using Windows 7 on an Apple

Jul 9, 2010 5:33PM PDT

I have just bought an Apple, but have some Windows programmes that I need to run. The computer supplier partitioned the disc for me and installed windows on the partition; but it is most inconvenient having to reboot every time I want to switch between windows and iMac. I believe that it is possible to have the two systems running at the same time on a single partition - can anyone advise me how to do that?

I would muchappreciate any guidance.

Gerald

But some can get by with Virtual Box so it's their choice.
