1. Boot Camp
Boot Camp is a utility that comes with every Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows operating systems. Since Boot Camp is available on your computer, there’s no cost to use it. However, you cannot use both operating systems at the same time or share files between systems, in order to switch systems, you have to re-boot/re-start your computer every time that you need to switch.

There are a variety of versions available for purchase, the standard software is $79.99 – however you are able to use both systems at the same time – like picture-in-picture and you can share files between systems.
