You don't. Windows 10 does not support the CPU in that iMac.

[gamerabbit16]

and windows 8.1?

 

[gamerabbit16]

or 8, 7

Still no. None of Windows Vista, 7, 8 or 10 support PowerPC CPU, which that old iMac has.

And with bootcamp ?

And xp

Bootcamp only exists for macs with Intel CPUs, since that's the only CPU type Windows supports. There was never a PowerPC version of Windows.

 

With linux the only distro that still supports PPC and has available repos is debian 8.

So be clear about what exact model you have.

You'll need to figure out what model you have. If you aren't certain then post the serial number and we can tell for sure. If it's a PowerPC machine then you aren't going to be able to run Windows on it. If it's an Intel machine you can run Windows, but we'd have to figure out which Intel machine you have first.
