Switching from Parallels to Boot Camp

How do I switch from Parallels to Bootcamp? I have a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" with latest OS and running Windows 8 on Parallels. I am unable to run SimCity (newest) on parallels, and read that it works on bootcamp.

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), Windows 8 on Parallel

Back up any data you want from your Windows installation. Remove Parallels and the virtual machine Windows file.

Run Bootcamp Assistant and follow the instructions to partition your drive and install Windows. Copy ypour backed up data that you saved to the Bootcamp Windows partition. Reinstall all your Windows programs.
