Q: Quickbooks Non-Profit - must use Windows
Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro and am also on a board for a non-profit organization. Intuit doesn't make a non-profit Quickbooks for a MAC IOS and the online version doesn't allow me to do all the functions that I need. So, I need to run the windows version on my MAC. Quickbooks is sending me a link to install the Windows software and mentioned there is something I can run on my MAC to be able to use a Windows based program. Is this something that is easy to do? Do I use the Boot Camp assistant and it'll walk me through the process easily? I've searched discussion groups but nothing is quite descriptive enough for me and most of the discussions are a few years old. Also, will this eat up a bunch of storage on my computer?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 105 GB of storage free

You will need a copy of Windows OS before you begin, see bullet #2
