Explanation

Boot Camp is Apple's built-in utility that allows a Mac to dual-boot between macOS and Windows. It uses the existing Windows license (no additional cost), installs Windows natively on a separate partition, and lets users switch between operating systems at startup - satisfying the 'never at the same time' requirement. PXE boot is for network-based OS deployment, not dual-booting. Virtualization software (like Parallels or VMware Fusion) runs both OSes simultaneously and would require purchasing additional software. Mission Control is a macOS multitasking feature unrelated to running Windows.
