Getting my air soon, need windows because I need to use Microsoft access.

Only 128GB ssd, windows partition took up 40gb? How to minimize it? Can install on external hdd?

Seems like visualization better than bootcamp

Ohh, 32bit or 64bit, does it matters on mac?

does parallels desktop coherence mode drain battery life?

Any idea what cause this? everytime I run my win7 it appears, if restart windows okie. But if quite parallels open back it shows again

I just reinstalled my Lion and decided to bootcamp windows 7.

After I installed win7 the driver is not installed. Inside the USB disk i created to install Windows7, apple downloaded a lot of drivers, I mean "A LOT"

I need to setup every each of them?

im using macbook air 128GB so I dont have much space to partition.

But it's so large compare to install on parallel desktop.

I install with parallel desktop win7 only 9GB, I partition 20GB expected I got 10GB space but after installation, the windows7 eat up 15GB of space, now left 5GB.

just use bootcamp assistance, follow the instruction.

It will ask you to select the windows ISO and also which media to burn the ISO. Thumbdrive or DVD will do.

I bootcamp my retina mbp using 16GB Transcend thumbdrive but 8gb will be enough.

Takes a while to download the windows support driver. After installed, just to be sure I run the windows support driver exe again in the thumbdrive.

Parallel desktop 8 announced! Now it VM5 vs PD8

Wanna get PD8, online is 79.99... hmm

last time i run PD7 still okie. actually I wanna use for microsoft access.

Who already installed Win8 on bootcamp?

My win8 wifi not working properly. Everytime I connect to a network, It just stuck and hang there, won't prompt me for a password.

Frustration.

I run with bootcamp, working just fine. Got parallel desktop if I wanna quickly use microsoft access without needing to reboot. I need to re-activate my windows 8.

Hope a more reliable bootcamp come out for win8, my wifi working weird too.

I bootcamped Windows 8, everytime I boot into Win8 the bootcamp settings change back to default, especially my touchpad settings. Any idea what causes this?

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.
