Overview

Some software programs at Rensselaer are only available for Windows operating system.  Depending on your Mac system, you may be able to configure a Windows partition on it to run Windows programs.  However, some windows programs will still not run as well as they would on a Windows OS device.

Procedures

If you do not feel comfortable configuring this yourself you may want to contact Apple Support for additional assistance.

Please reference this article to determine if your Mac can run a Windows partition and if so how to install Bootcamp on your Mac:
