I googled for apple genius install windows and easily found this:
In general, I recommend asking the vendor you intend to visit. I don't think there's a universal policy among Apple Stores, and even if there is, you might be a good enough customer that they'll do it for lower cost (like my mom being a customer of the local shop).

Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you. It will certainly cost you their hourly charge for however many hours are involved. You may have to purchase Win8 from them but if not you must have a copy of your own.

As it turns out, she also asked a local repair shop who'd done some prior work for her on getting her wifi network up. The local repair shop was willing to do the install for free, and they were closer, so she went there.Ask them. We don't know what your local Apple Store will do for you.

Save yourself the trip. Call AppleCare and they will walk you through the process. Probably do a computer share with you. They will help you install boot camp.
sorry I am currently busy with a lot of things so I wasn't on for awhile.
Thank You I will call them son I hope.
