Hi I just ordered my very first Mac, after using Windows for my entire life.

Is this correct disk I need to buy in order to run windows on my mac in boot camp?

And if is, does anyone know if this is the cheapest price I can get it for, and if not, any recommendation where it might cost a little less?

Thank you all in advance, I appreciate your help

Well, maybe. It really depends on how much RAM you intend to have in your Mac. The version of WIndows that you're asking about only supports 16GB. But that seems to be pretty high price. Take a look at this. (external link)

Thanks Hen3Ry!!

The Mac I ordered does have 16GB ram.

I have never heard of that website before.........www.evaluesoftware.com (external link)

Have you ordered from them in the past? Anyone else comment on there service, or know of another place I can purchase it for less than B&H??

Not from them, particularly, no, but follow this link (external link). :)

The point is, W7 Home Premium ONLY supports up to 16GB. If you can add more than that to your Mac, Windows won't be able to take advantage of it.
