    1. A step-by-step guide for Windows installation exists at these links. Bootcamp is built into OSX, and it is located in Applications ->Utilities -> Bootcamp Assistant.

    2. You will need to buy the version of Windows that you want to run, from Microsoft store, unless you already have the physical media. If you buy it on-line, you will get a Product Key. You will need a Windows PC, and using your key and a Download Manager .exe from M$, you can download the Windows installer to a USB and/or ISO disk image.

     

    3. Welcome to the Mac world. It is not very different, just a different UI and terminology. There is extensive help and tutorials on the Apple site. You can also get help at an Apple Store, if you have one close by.
