Does boot camp slow down your iMac?

Hello, I want to install Boot Camp for gaming, but I'm not sure if I should use it. I installed boot camp once, and it slowed down my iMac, but my iMac is sometimes just lagging.


Parameters:

8gb RAM

1tb space

Intel core i5 CPU

Intel iris plus graphics 640 1536mb GPU

No, Boot Camp does not slow your Mac other than it uses storage space (it creates a new partition for Windows). If you are low on storage space then there could be a problem. You do not run Windows in the Boot Camp partition concurrently with your MacOS. You boot into either one independently.
