Dual boot Macbook Pro with Windows 7

Hi,

Hopefully the title says it all. My objective is to be able to play my Steam games on Windows because not all of the games can be played through OSX Mavericks.

How do I get started and what do I need?

Are you getting any error ?

Update the display driver and check.

Parallels is able to use the dual boot BootCamp partition for the VM. If it's fast enough, you don't have to reboot. You still have the option to reboot for games that need more speed.
