Q: Installing Windows in Boot Camp - ISO image?!
I've just read the reviews and found this -
There is no downloadable .iso file and i do not own a computer that runs Windows so i am unable to create a bootable iso myself. I am now left with a £50 OS that is completely useless
Can anyone direct me to what I should buy? All I need is the most basic windows so I can install the Sage software :-(
The M$ store will give you a Product Key. It will also give you a .exe file (usable only on a Windows machine) to be able to download the .ISO on a USB and/or DVD. You can use the ISO file to install Windows on your Mac, provide you Mac supports an ISO-based installation. If your Mac has a built-in Optical drive, you must use physical DVD media.

3. Disk Utility 12.x: Burn a disk image to a CD or DVD - this will let you create a DVD from the ISO which you download from Microsoft Store. Please ensure you verify the MD5/SHA1 using https://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290?wa=wsignin1.0.
