Oh, no worries, plan to install Windows 8.1 - I checked online and apparently it's RAM management is better than Windows 7. Will attempt to do it this weekend. Bearing in mind I'm a OS X newbie, so fingers-crossed!

No worries, its very straight forward. If you happen to missed out a step or selected the wrong criteria, u can always start over again..

Just be prepared, as the process can takes up to hours, like 3-4 hours i mean. Good luck

how to boot to window ??? i copy window to usb .... download bootcamp driver ... all done , but still bot to normal mac ..

Am beginning to see what you mean... It was stuck at "Copying Windows File" for ages and now it's stuck at "Downloading Windows Support File"...

Haha.. yeah right. Don't hesitate to ask here if u encountered problem. We'll try to assist

You've installed the windows via bootcamp? If so, try reboot ur Mac, and before the grey screen appear, try hold on to Option key. You shall be able to select from 2 drives there, Mac or Windows.

Pretty straight forward.

Added-on :

If you got a pendrive or any other external storage connected to your ports, you will be able to see that too on the same screen when u're required to select Mac or Windows.

It go to bootcamp ... But still cannot open window ... Even boot from original cd ...

Managed to get it done just a little under 3 hours, like you said Although a little regretful that I only partitioned 30GB for Windows 8.1 - half of it gone with the OS installation only 15GB left now in my boot camp partition, ha ha ha. But works great! Thanks for the tips!

I'll suggest u remove the bootcamp and start all iver again. This time, try to download the software into ur OS X first instead of using the CD. There must be smth goes wrong somewhere.

Im not quite sure about this, but i think u can always relocated the storage size for bootcamp.

Good job and congrates for getting bootcamp works with first attemp. Haha.. Enjoy a whole new computing experience there with dual OS.

REMOVED.
Double posts.

Instead of using the Windows disk or USB to install, I'd recommend you download the Windows ISO file and let Boot Camp create the disk for you into a USB flash drive. That worked for me.

Oops, wrong thread. Sorry guys

My Windows8.1 Pro in Parallel Desktop not getting any Windows 10 upgrade.

Anyone successfully upgraded in Parallel Desktop?

Ok here is, make sure you choose correct one for your windows (make sure you run parallel 10)

1. Download one of the upgrade tool files (compatible with your version of Windows) using the direct links below:

Download Tool Now (32-bit version) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=616935
Download Tool Now (64-bit version) http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=616936

NOTE: for installing a 64-bit version of Windows 10 please make sure your virtual machine has at least 2GB of RAM assigned. To check virtual machine's RAM please open configuration menu -> Hardware tab -> CPU & Memory. To increase the memory you would need to shut down your virtual machine.

2. Run the downloaded file and follow the steps to upgrade to Windows 10:



3. Once the upgrade is finished you can shut the virtual machine down and rename it (Configure... -> General)

That's it!

If you are referring to use bootcamp install Windows OS, here is the page from apple:-

Apple Bootcamp

I upgraded my bootcamp windows 8 to windows 10 2 weeks back.

Facing a weird bug, every time I restart my windows, it doesn't seem to load the desktop.exe fine.

I can't click on anything, after a while it seems like it crash and tries to load again.

If I get lucky it loads and everything fine until I restart again.

Anyone facing such problem? If not guess have to do a fresh installation.
