Install Windows Programs

You install Windows programs on your Mac just as you would on a Windows PC. The two most common ways of installing programs are:

• Using a CD or DVD installation disc
• Downloading the program or installation file from the Internet or a network

Install a Program from a CD or DVD Installation Disc

1. Start Windows .
2. Insert the installation disc.
3. In most cases, an AutoPlay dialog opens. Click the option to run a setup or install file, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Install a Program from the Internet or a Network

• Download the program or installation file and follow the instructions from the program's source.

In most cases, you can either run the installation file and follow the onscreen instructions, or simply open the downloaded program.
