What is BootCamp?

I've finally been able to get myself a Mac again. (a Mac Mini, int.SSD 7.1 w. Mojave to be specific).

But it has been many years now since I've even put a finger on a Mac, so I noticed - much to my disappointment - that I don't really remember anything. Or, at least not much. But, anyway, to my Q:

What is BootCamp? What are you supposed to with it...and, finally, but not least - how do you operate it?

(And just in case that anyone who reads this is also [about to, or] using the Mac for music-production [amatuer-/home-user]: Can anyone refer me to a good, and relatively cheap ext. "sound-card/-board"(not sure what it's called, by hope and think you understand anyway?! ;-)

Boot Camp allows you to run Microsoft Windows on your Mac.

It creates a Boot Camp partition on your Macs internal storage, which you can install Windows on, and then reboot into it, allowing your Mac to function as a Windows PC.

There is also software, such as Parallels Desktop, which allows you do use your Boot Camp partition while still within macOS so you can run Windows and Mac apps simultaneously.
