Jul 21, 2015 1:23 PM in response to Loner Tby jhudgina,Hi Loner:
Thanks for your response.
The instructions say to install Windows DVD but I thought that came with Boot Camp. Anyway, I don't have one. It also says that Windows is in
the OS applications CD but something went wrong with mine. I belongs to my desktop but neither it nor my MacBook will accept the CDs that came with it.

Boot Camp does not provide a Windows Installer or Windows Installation media. You need to buy it separately. You are confusing Bootcamp Assistant and Windows. BCA is an application that facilitates installation of Windows. It does not provide a license or media.

You will need to by a separate Windows ISO and/or DVD to install Windows on your model.
Please also see System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support .

anywhere. Since none of this is free as it turns out I'm looking at Parallels as an easier and cheaper answer. What do you think?
Thanks

Then you will need to buy Parallels and Windows.
