The Boot Camp process is relatively straightforward. Here is my step by step guide to install Windows 7 on MacBook Pro: What You Need
Through a few hours of trial and error I’ve come up with solutions to the problems that I’ve faced, so it’s time to pass on those fixes to you in hopes that maybe you won’t waste as much time as I did. Unfortunately Boot Camp Assistant doesn’t like it when you’ve modified the Pro and there are some other snags that you’ll run into along the way.
After I did a review of the device a few months ago I started to look at installing a copy of Windows 7 on my Pro for things like League of Legends and the occasional Windows app. El Capitan makes it easier and you just have to select the ISO and the amount of space that we want the partition to occupy Windows and click install, it's that simple.īut then, where is the Windows installer partition? Very simple, OS X El Capitan apart from creating as it did previous versions of the system, a Boot Camp partition to install Windows, now it also creates another partition named OSXRESERVED which will occupy 8Gb in FAT32 format and which will be located after the recovery partition and before the Boot Camp partition.If you own a MacBook Pro chances are pretty good that you’ve investigated something like the OptiBay which lets you replace your optical drive with a second hard disk. I am referring to the change in Boot Camp, not because the Windows installation wizard has radically changed, but because now those users who want to install the Microsoft system on your Mac you will not have the need to create a partition on a USB memory, but it can be installed natively.īefore you had to plug in a USB memory and the Boot Camp Assistant I copied the installer from the ISO image to the memory unit and then downloaded and configured the necessary Windows drivers in the location where the installer for the hardware of that specific Mac was located. Apart from the news that we are getting to know little by little about OS X El Capitan, we also find others that, although it has not had so much impact, it may be interesting for certain users.
