You can run all of your Windows applications and use all of your files on a Mac. There are different ways of going about it.

BootCamp is software from Apple that is included with MacOS. BootCamp will create a separate partition on your hard drive on which to install Windows. Since Intel Macs essentially are PCs, Windows can run just fine on your Mac. This type of set up is sometimes called "dual boot", and Windows will run "natively" on the computer. When you start your computer, you can choose which operating system to boot: Windows or Mac OS. You will only be able to run one at a time.

VMWare Fusion or Parallels are third-party programs you can download and use. They allow you to run Windows and Mac OS at the same time. They create a virtual environment called a Virtual Machine or VM. A VM is essentially software that tricks the guest operating system into thinking it is running on an actual computer, but it is only a virtual computer. With a VM, you can run Windows side-by-side with Mac OS and you can even run your Windows apps in "Unity" mode (or "Coherence" mode in Parallels), which removes the Windows desktop from the equation and makes it appear that your Windows apps are running natively in Mac OS. VMWare or Parallels should run just fine on any Intel Mac, but I wouldn't run it with less than 4GB of RAM.

The downside to using VM is that some Windows applications, particularly 3D games and real-time applications such as music sequencers and video editors, do not always work as expected in the virtual environment. For these programs, it is best to run Windows natively in BootCamp.

The good news is you can have the best of both worlds. VMWare will allow you to boot your BootCamp partition if you want to run an app (like Excel) that runs perfectly fine in a VM, right alongside your Mac apps. Then when you want to run that killer 3D game that gives VMWare fits, shut down Mac OS and boot Windows natively with BootCamp.

You can use virtualization softwares to install Windows under MacOSX.

If you are facing any performance issues, you could Bootcamp your Mac and Install Windows.
