Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Its amazing how Apple can put out information in several places that do not sync. Of course, its a large company with many heads that do not talk to one another. Here is a link that specifically relates to El Capitan which I should have shared sooner.

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Use this article to check which versions of Windows will run on which Mac models, and, where available, the download links to the software: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204048 As a rule, BootCamp Assistant always does the right thing, fetching the latest drivers and giving you the choice

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Hi, Thanks first of all for replying. I've failed miserable to install Windows 7 under bootcamp in El Capitan. I think that part of the problem is Bootcamp in El Capitan which seems to work differently to all the descriptions I have seen here on the list and on Apple's pages. When I start

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

BootCamp Assistant shows different checkboxes depending on whether or not your Mac has a built-in (or formerly had a built-in) optical drive. If you have, you don’t get the chance to use an ISO. Typically USB boot (from MBR) is not supported on these models, so you will need the optical

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Hi Sabahattin, Thanks for this. I'd better not attempt anything as ambitious as you hinted at: I have far too little knowhow in programming. you mentioned that the bootcamp partition onto which Windows 7 should have been installed should have been partitioned prior as ntf. I kind of assumed

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Hi, Ah, how strange! When I was researching what version of Windows I could run on my late 2010 macbook air, the highest version I found was windows 7. I understood that I just could not run windows 10. Otherwise I would have gone for windows 10. Thanks for this Andrew > On 13 Jan 2016,

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

That was exactly part of the confusion: I did put the iso file on the desktop as I had read something to that effect in some of the support pages. But bootcamp 6 on my late 2010 macbook air would not even recognise it and there was no option to point it to the iso file. It insisted on having

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Andrew, You might need to call Apple to verify this. Information I found indicates that El Capitan on your model Mac will only support Windows 8 or newer IF you already had Windows 7 installed under Bootcamp, then this would work. So this means that as a NEW installation, Windows 7 is

Where did you put the ISO file? Desktop would be a good place. Bootcamp partition is the one that you want. From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past. What if it were true? On 1/13/2016 12:54 AM, Andrew Lamanche wrote: Hi,

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Andrew, I fought with this for several weeks before I figured out that my particular Mac needed me to download the drivers from Apple. I had to create the bootable USB drive. It’s said you need a 16GB flash drive, and that’s what I got, but not sure why that size. 1. Go in to Bootcamp utility.

Re: Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

You can get BootCamp drivers either while running BootCamp Utility or from the Apple Support site. Some earlier drivers (for XP and Vista, for instance) are only on the DVDs that came with the Macs that supported those operating systems. With an ISO and BootCamp Utility you should be directed

Confused about bootcamp drivers for windows7 installation on mac

Hi, When installing Windows 7 in bootcamp from ISO, is it necessary to manually get the appropriate Apple drivers for windows, or will Bootcamp get them automatically and install them? I've been poring through help pages and I can see confusing info. Many thanks Andrew -- The following
