How do I know if I have bootcamp on my computer? And if I swtich to run windows, can i download and use Authorware?

I am not 100% sure if we have bootcamp on our computers. How can I be sure? And if I do not have it, can i get it and for how much?


Also if I use bootcamp to switch from the mac os to a windows os, can i download a plug in that is not compatable with Mac and use it?


We purchased our iMacs in 11-2010. We LOVE them. We will never switch back. However, the attorney that I work for has to do online training with a Sheriffs dept to maintain some of his credintals. We check with the help desk and they just do not support any apple products. Their online training requires two plug ins, Adobe flash, which we have, and Authorware, which will not work on our macs. And like I said the website's help desk just doesn't support any apple use.


Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Boot Camp Assistant is included on the OSx installation disk. There is no charge. Boot Camp Assistant is used to create a Windows partition on which you install the Windows operating system.


You need to buy a retail version of Windows. Once Windows is installed on the Boot Camp partition you can boot your computer into OSx or into Windows.


You can install and use Windows software when you are booted into Windows.


There is a Boot Camp Installation Guide on your installation disk.
