Then, I need to send the laptop to be "configured" which costs 150$ because, of course, they don't use a...

    What's the cheapest way to virtualize a Boot Camp partition?

    I found out that I can legally obtain a free copy of Windows through my school. I know there are two options for running Windows on Mac: 1) through a VM, or 2) through a dual-boot setup.
