Hi. A couple of things to keep in mind. 1. If you do go the boot cam route, you will need sighted assistance to get windows installed. Also, you'll be able to have Fusion treat the bootcamp partition as a virtual machine. This has some advantages such as being able to utilized all of the Mac's resources when you need to do something that needs a lot of them but still able to boot in to windows quickly through fusion when you don't need to do something system intensive. 2. The quick install option in fusion will have fusion install windows without sighted assistance. The only thing you need do after installation is install you're screen reader of choice. HTH,
