How to install Windows Operating System on Mac computers?

!! Important !!

KOI IT recommends using Windows system instead of MAC system for BIT, MIT or Accounting students who need MYOB AccountRight app.
For the software installation related to the class, Please contact Lecturers/Tutors of the subject.

 

Note 1: MS Office 365 for MAC

MS Access/Publisher is not available on MS Office 365  for MAC. You can run office for Windows OS on MAC using Apple Boot Camp(free), VMware Fusion(became free for personal) or Parallels Desktop(paid). You also need a genuine Windows 10 license for your MAC as well.

 

Note 2: MYOB

AccountRight is designed for use on computers using the Windows operating system, like a PC. If you’re using a Mac, consider using MYOB Essentials which runs in a web browser and can be used on both Windows and Mac. If you want to install AccountRight on an Apple Mac, you’ll need to install Windows on your Mac first. You can do this using Boot Camp (a Mac utility that allows you to install other operating systems) or virtual software such as Parallels or VMware.

Note that running AccountRight on virtual software may affect performance and speed. And while many users report a good experience, it’s not tested or supported by MYOB. Once you’ve installed Windows on your Mac, you can install AccountRight.

Note 3: Apple Boot Camp / Pararells / Vmware Fusion

Please notice that if you have an Apple M1/M2/M3/M4 chip, Boot Camp will not work as it requires a Mac with an Intel processor.
To install Windows for ARM(not 100% compatible with normal Windows 11) on your M1/M2/M3 Mac, you can use Parallels® Desktop for Mac(Annual subscription required) or VMware Fusion Pro(free for personal).
