    yes it has been done many times on the internet. No its not illlegal unless you use a cracked version of either Windows or IOS and then dual boot system is not illegal only the cracked version of the software…

    Look up bootcamp, it will allow you to run windows on a mac device.

     

    Its usually called dual-boot or multi-boot.
