Nub needs help!

[Pie_Tech]

     Hi LinusTechTips Community! I love technology and the LMG videos, but I am not super knowledgeable about computers. I recently bought a MacBook Pro (2013) for school and light gaming. I love my Mac because it has a good build quality, and for a kid (like me) it has great security and easy access to help. But, that's not why I am making this thread, in fact I actually want to run Windows 8. I am pretty unskilled with computers, beyond software interfaces, so I need help installing Window 8. I know I need bootcamp, or something, I really just don't know. If anyone know a good (basic) video or a good thread/article for the installation process, please comment it down bellow.

 

Thanks,

Theo

I think theres a program called bootcamp.

paprikman, that helped me a lot, thanks!

 

Is it worth getting a cracked version of Windows, or should I just save up?

It's better to get a license key, but if u just wanna see what windows is - get trial. It's up to u to choose.

One windows key is linked to a single mobo.

Bootcamp is mosly drivers that you need to install once Windows is all set. So you get multitouch and all that... 

 

But yeah, it provides an easy tool to partition your drive and get things ready to install.

I would say "I don't condone piracy", but my Windows copy is cracked so..
