Q: Looking for Windows 7 for MAC not for Windows

Hello,

I need to use a trading program based on Windows platform. However, all I have is Mac Pro.

I have learned that I need to install Windows 7, is there two different types of Window 7, for Window and for Mac?

I don't see any CD or software for Mac I can acquire on line. All I see is for Window 7 for Window platform.

I need to put a long key-code while installation, so I need to buy the program.

Can anyone help me ?

Thank you

Genzi

You can install Windows on your MacBook Pro using Boot Camp:
Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support

Unlike Microsoft Office for Mac, there is no "Windows for Mac" version.

Thanks for your comment.
However, I still need to put an activation code in the process of installation of windows 7 downloaded.
An apple agent confirmed that I need to purchase a Windows 7 software to complete the step.
I am confused if there is no Windows for Mac, where and how can I compete the step without putting a series of activation code?

because it's not a windows for mac you need it's a normal windows copy
the main processor and video chip and audio chip and network chips and.... are the same so a perfectly generic windows copy works on macs
