Hi all, I think today is the day I’m going to get windows seven installed on my bootcamp. This question may sound a bit silly but I was wondering how one accesses bootcamp upon powering on the mac? In other words, is there a keystroke one can use to boot into windows? On May 13, 2015, at 2:13

Don't use Bootcamp. Use Fusion instead - it'll save you a lot of trouble. I say that from experience and a corrupted Mac HD. That being said, if you're willing to deal with it make sure you back up with Time Machine before messing with Bootcamp. On 5/16/2015 8:11 PM, Faisal ali wrote: Hi all,

Hi. Once you power up your Mac, hold the option key for 5 to 10 seconds then arrow left or right to get to your Windows partition. You won't get any voice output so if you don't want to do it that way, you can change what your Mac starts up in by going to system preferences and selecting your

Regardless of the potential benefits of Windows 8.1, some people will always prefer Windows 7 for the much less confused UI. It’s regrettable that this has become such a point of division, since all Microsoft would have to do is make Windows 7 available until the release of Windows 10.

Extended support for Windows 7 ends in 2017. Cmd shift U takes you directly to the Utilities folder. I found a disc to install on refurbished computers but it remains to be seen if I will be successful as I am saving this Bootcamp project for a rainly day. From The Believer. . .

Eh? Windows 7 works just fine with BootCamp on models that support it. Microsoft may not support it, and you might not be able to purchase it, and the latest models of Mac might not support it, but BootCamp, itself, most assuredly supports it. Just download the software for your model, and

I wouldn’t count on audio drivers for Macs being supported. If you have a generic USB headset or something like that, it might work, though keep in mind that Apple adds their own support files and setup instructions to the Windows setup. It’s been a while since I’ve used Boot Camp, but I think
