How to install Windows using Boot Camp
You can install your window computer
with the Boot Camp. The Mac is compatible with the bootable software and after
installing, restart your Mac to switch between OS X and Windows.
The following are the apps on the
window Mac that can be installed directly with the bootable software such as
iTunes iMessage iCalendar as shown below
Before you begin, make sure you have
everything you need.
- An Intel-based Mac
- A Microsoft Windows install disc or disk image (ISO)
containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 or later*
- An Apple keyboard, mouse or trackpad, or a USB keyboard
and mouse
- An 8 GB or larger USB flash drive that you can erase
- At least 30 GB of free disk space on your startup drive
Check System Requirements
Some versions of Windows require a certain processor, and more hard drive
space and memory (RAM) than others. Check the documentation that came with your
copy of Windows to find out what you need. Then use System Information to
see what your Mac currently has.
Create a disk image of your Windows disc
When you purchase Windows, it either comes as a disk image file (ISO) or as
an installation disc. If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you should
create a disk image of your installation disc.
Open Boot Camp Assistant
Boot Camp Assistant walks you through installing Windows on your Mac. Open
this app from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder and follow the
onscreen instructions to automatically repartition your startup disk and
download related software drivers for Windows. When prompted, connect your USB
flash drive.
Format your Windows partition
When you complete the assistant, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer.
When you're asked where you want to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP
partition, then click Format.
Install Windows
Follow the onscreen prompts to finish your Windows installation
Restart your computer
After Windows is installed, you can switch between OS X and Windows. Use the
Startup Disk preference pane in OS X, or the Boot Camp system tray item in
Windows to select your startup disk, then restart your computer
