    Hi Palanivelu

    My name is Andre Da Costa; an Independent Consultant, Windows Insider MVP and Windows & Devices for IT MVP. I'm here to help you with your problem.

    That is not correct. Just like any other computer, you must purchase a full license and install Windows 10.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US...

    Once you buy it, you can download the ISO file at the following link:

    Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File) - Microsoft

    https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win...

    Press Command key + Space bar

    Type: Boot Camp

    or Open the Finder > Applications > Utilities > Boot Camp

    Launch Boot Camp

    Click Continue

    Click Browse

    Select the ISO file you just downloaded

    Resize the partition - I recommend about 40 to 50 GBs or more when dual booting with Windows. See the following article for more information about deciding on space:

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/install-window...

    Click Install

    Wait while partitions the disk

    Downloads Windows Support software

    Your Mac will automatically restart and Boot into Windows 10 setup.

    Remember to choose the partition during setup named BOOTCAMP.

    You should be good to go.

    I was also informed that even insider installs require a license. Which is not free.
