Bootcamp Assistant should already be present on your iMac. Are you trying to download Windows?

You already have Boot Camp Assistant in your utilities folder. To install Windows in a Boot Camp partition you run Boot Camp Assistant then follow the instructions.

Why did you install Parallels if you want Boot Camp? Parallels if a virtual machine. You can install Windows in Parallels but that has nothing to do with Boot Camp.
