Need advice on running Windows 7 under the El Capitan on an iMac 27 ".

I was running Parallels on my MBP 15 ".  It worked but was a little slow to start and not completely satisfactory. They seem to have problems with each update of the OSX.  Now, they need a comprehensive upgrade to El Capitan.  Last year, I bought an iMac 27 "5K and want to run Windows on the iMac.

I have a program that I need to install that works under Windows (company TurboTax).  I'm about to use BootCamp and run Windows in its own partition.   I read the installation instructions and watched some YouTube tutorials on this topic.  Looks like it won't be too hard to install.  A person highly recommended having a good backup of the hard drive internal that some have found some files corrupted when you do this, requiring a full restore of OS X, applications, and files.  I wonder if a good backup Time Machine is sufficient, or do I have to do a new backup?

Also I have not found it yet in the documentation, but it's probably here.  I need to be able to access the same files in both Windows and OSX.  I guess this isn't a problem.  I need something special to make the files accessible to the two operating systems?  In my view, they are all accessible to any system of control.

Guess I'm looking to make sure that it is a good thing to do.  I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit DVD can I use for the installation.  I'm also going to use a USB key as suggested for the installation.  I was also informed that it is better to download the software to support first and put it on the USB key before starting the installation.

I've been advised to give 10 Windows a little more time before the upgrade to it.  Windows 7 is perfect for limited use, I Windows.Any comments on this?

Thanks for the tips here.

Windows 7 is probably the most stable version of windows in the history of Windows, I would give him the props on 10.6.8 Yes, is very good, he's sucking fanboys.

Windows 10 is a monkey demon that came out of the bowels of * to disrupt his legacy.

that says that Windows 7 is no longer supported by MS is no longer under BootCamp (supported by 10.11) and you will need a previous instance of grandfathered in when OS X has allowed its installation or you will need to use something other than BootCamp to install Win 7
