Windows software on Mac help?

[sallyomally]

I have a Macbook Pro and I got Windosws installed on it so it was a PC in a Mac body because i do not know how to use Macs. After months of using it with Windows, I turned it off and when I turned it back on, it was running with Mac software. How do I fix this?

It probably booted back into OSX

Go into System Preferences (in the dock), select the Startup Disk icon. Highlight the windows volume and click restart.

That should boot you back into windows.

Got to System Settings, Startvolume and select "Bootcamp" than press restart.
Alternatively press the option key while booting the machine and select your windows partition (bootcamp).

€ did it really take me 2mins. to write this?

 

[maflynn]

It shouldn't have since, it only took me 10 seconds

And I beat you to the punch

 

[Deedolito]

Well - a lot of space to improve for me then

Why did you overpay for a Mac only to run windows?

Don't be afraid of change, Mac OS X is actually much more user friendly than windows is, how about you give it a try before ditching it completely?

where?

Can you give me exact directions please? I Don;t know if I'm in the right section and I can't find the volume thing? Thanks for your help

Or do it gradually by using Parallels, then you have the best of both worlds at the same time!

After 3 weeks, I probably go into my Windows VM less than once a day...

Well it's actually not mine it is a friends. I just didn't think it would be important to say that.

On the dock, click on the little picture with cogs on.

Then when the window appears, click on the picture which says 'Startup Disc' underneath it.

Then wait a few seconds, then select the Windows Disk (often bootcamp) and then select 'restart' to reboot into windows.
