Hi, I'm trying to install window 7 on my rmbp using bootcamp since some softwares that I need to use have no mac version, but currently still confused about some stuff, hopefully can get answer here

1. can I use an OEM window 7 to install? will there be any problem or should I just buy the ori one?
2. if somehow a few years after this I wanted to revert back to using OSX only on my rmbp will that be possible?
3. I'm planning to install a 64bit version, will there be any performance problem?
4. about how much storage space I should leave out for window part? my mbp only got 250GB total. Will only be using some software like 3d max,etc and maybe some light gaming on window, saving and stuff will be using external hd

tq in advance

Just installed Windows 7 64bit on Mac Mini through bootcamp, basically is very simple and straight forward.

2 stages may takes longer time in setting up a complete windows in Mac

1. Having drivers and bootcamp for windows copy to external storage (you will need this once the windows installation is complete)
2. While installing windows

Have Fun!!!

where to get cheapest copy for parallel 8 ?

Be on the lookout at their site, they sometimes do promo on the price.

Just found out this site too.

https://deals.macupdate.com/bundle/affil/3, pretty nice for the price.

Hey guys, so I just got my macbook pro yesterday. Problem is when I wanna load windows from my pen drive into it using BootCamp, everything went smoothly, bootcamp downloaded some things and i selected 50GB partition for Windows. My macbook restarted and it says no bootable device found, please insert something something and press and key. How do I solve this? Help please.


Ps : Im not asking how to boot up OSX by holding down the option key. I wanna boot up Windows using BootCamp.

Solved. Used an external HDD and everything went fine.

Sorry another problem found. When Im in windows how come I dont have any Wifi? Theres totally no internet connection at all. But in OSX its completely fine.

You might not have all the drivers installed, didn't remember how I did mine, but do search for bootcamp drivers and install it.

My bootcamp is version 5.0.2. What drivers do I need? Isn't that the latest already?

You need to install the bootcamp windows driver within windows after the installation. Read the instruction guide. Shld be the step no 4 in the following guide:

Thank you very much! Settled my problem. Just click into the BootCamp folder and run the setup.exe. All the drivers in there. Done! Thanks!

By the way if my windows get virus will my OS be affected? By right no, right? Do I need antivirus for my windows in this case? I'll only be using it for like 20% of the time only FYI.

Virus on Windows will not effect Mac as its not recognised on Mac.
if you've been running Antivirus on Windows all the time, it doesnt make much difference in your current situation.
you will still need it

I see. Maybe I'll just allow virus to be on my windows side since I'm not using it for banking or anything important. Haha. Saves me alot of cash! Cheapskate here sorry.

Hey guys, I'd like to know why my trackpad isn't working in windows mode. Okay not the whole trackpad but normally we touch to 'click' once, right? Mine wouldn't. Have to use mouse or click the trackpad. Why ah?

Sorry add on. On OSX everything is working perfectly fine.

Go to your control panel and search for bootcamp. There's a bootcamp manager where you can manage all the settings like mouse click, secondary click etc

Done, thank you very much!
