The first one makes your USB stick loaded with Windows and OSXвЂ™s boot camp loader, the second one is the Boot Camp drivers it adds, the third one sounds weird but means itвЂ™ll partition your drive to set up Windows. If this is your first time, select ALL boxes.

Steam account to buy GTA V PC (itвЂ™s about $50 I think, worth it because you can play it online if you buy it legally)ДЇirst search for Boot Camp Assistant on your Mac.

Windows 8 ISO file, in a perfect world youвЂ™d buy this from Microsoft, but they make it really hard and want to ship you a physical CD (what the fuck, itвЂ™s 2015, let me buy an ISO), so just find an ISO file of Windows somewhere (okay fine, Microsoft, I guess you donвЂ™t WANT my money).

16GB USB stick (not an SD card!), I tried a 8GB one as Apple recommends it, but it wasnвЂ™t big enough, yup WHATEVER!.

So to save you all the PAIN and time, here is my tutorial with all the tricks to get it working. Maybe thatвЂ™s why I donвЂ™t know anybody using Boot Camp.

But that means itвЂ™s full of stupid bugs that you have to figure out yourself how to fix. Obviously cause they hate Windows and never want you to use it. **Since Apple doesnвЂ™t like Windows, it makes it REALLY EXTRA SUPER hard to get Boot Camp to work. After itвЂ™s installed youвЂ™ll have to reboot to switch to Windows, but that only takes half a minute each time. Try it with any game, itвЂ™ll probably crash even before playing it, or itвЂ™ll be extremely slow.Д«ut then thereвЂ™s Boot Camp, which lets you run Windows natively (without virtualization) and with high performance on your Mac. But itвЂ™s a virtualization app, so itвЂ™d never run it with any high performance as the graphics drivers are virtual (software emulated) and not native (hardware). I know you can run Windows on Mac with Parallels. I mean IвЂ™ve been wanting to play this for years, but never had a device for it. I was pretty sure I couldnвЂ™t, but I still wanted to try. How about GTA V? ItвЂ™s come out for PC a few months ago, so I wanted to see if I could get it working on my MacBook Pro. So itвЂ™s a bit of a shame, we canвЂ™t play games on it.

And the MacBook Pro 13вЂі and MacBook Air have on-board graphic cards, but theyвЂ™re fine to play PC games from a few years ago (like Skyrim). Pretty very very shit.Д«ut thatвЂ™s stupid, because the MacBook Pro 15вЂі has two graphic cards, and theyвЂ™re actually pretty powerful. ItвЂ™s kind of the iOS type stuff but then for OSX. So letвЂ™s browse the games in AppleвЂ™s App Store, well, theyвЂ™re not so great. Why even leave your computer screen to destress when you can do it ON YOUR COMPUTER? YES! YES! FREEDOM OF REALITY!

All that startup stuff gets so incredibly boring after awhile, and we need to destress. The problem is, since then IвЂ™ve missed PC gaming.

I replaced that with a maxed-out MacBook Pro so that I could start traveling and work from anywhere. I had a giant tower desktop computer with fans with flashing lights. Until 2 years ago, I used to be a PC person.
