Boot Camp Or Parallels ?
I plan to switch to Mac in the near future but have Windows Programs like Quicken Deluxe 2014 that I would like to run on a Mac. I understand that I have to install Windows on a Mac using Boot-camp in order to run any Windows applications. I am unclear if this is also the case with Parallels, which I would have to purchase. I have Windows 8 on a disk so I don't have to purchase it again, so I could use either Boot-camp or Parallels. My Question is, does Parallels also require a full Windows installation and if so why should I buy Parallels when Boot-camp is free?
iMac, Windows 8
