In some cases, a Mac running Windows through Boot Camp is faster than a dedicated Windows computer.Ī dual-boot system is the best option in some cases. The upside is you get great performance on both operating systems because it only needs to run one at a time. But you can't use both operating systems at once, which means you need to reboot your Mac whenever you want to switch. We call this a dual boot system, because you can boot into either macOS or Windows. It partitions your hard drive into two sections, with Windows on one side and macOS on the other. Boot Camp is a built-in Mac utility you can use to install Windows.
