What is the best program to buy if I plan to run windows on my macbook? Bootcamp?
 
Boot Camp is free, VMWare Fusion and Parallels Desktop cost something, VirtualBox is free, but those last three applications will not run Windows to its full capacity.

It depends on your Windows needs.

Booting Windows on the Mac

I just want it incase I need to use a program for school. I don't need it to do anything extreme. Can you share a link for the bootcamp download please?

Boot Camp Assistant is in your Applications / Utilities / folder. Also make sure to at least read the part about Boot Camp in the guide I linked to in post #2.

But maybe a VM is all you need for your Windows needs.
