In short, it might be possible but you’ll need to use Boot Camp on your iMac. Watching some tutorials helped you think it was doable, but the process can be tricky. If you’re unsure, seeking guidance from someone familiar with the steps would be wise.

You might consider trying a bootcamp, though I’m unsure about the current full driver support availability

You can follow the installation guide for Bootcamp to set it up. If you need more details, look for a tutorial or video that walks through the process step by step.

Consider your OSX version and refer to the relevant documentation. Ensure you have at least 10.8 for Windows 8 compatibility.

To start using Boot Camp Assistant, simply launch it and you'll be prompted to create a Windows installation disk, download drivers, and install Windows... Select all options, insert your USB drive, pick the .iso file, and it should generate the Windows USB with its drivers. Before proceeding, verify your iMac compatibility on Apple's website.

Looking at how low it appears to be, I might skip trying it... Perhaps I should hold off until I have a Windows desktop.
