10 windows on iMAC

  1. Has anyone tried installing Windows 10 on an iMAC (27-inch mid 2011)?  Did you?  I have a few windows applications that I need to use that are not available for Mac OS and was about to buy Windows 10.  I checked the compatibility list, and it isn't my iMac listed as compatible.
  2. If Windows 10 is not compatible, does anyone have a recommendation on which Windows version should I get?
  3. In addition, it seems that you can not buy earlier versions on the Microsoft site.  So, any suggestions for where to buy an earlier version?

Thank you

You can install Windows 10 using a virtual machine, Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. VirtualBox is free.

  • forming the partition windows on iMac

    I used disk utilities to form a new partition on my hard drive. It was a partition and is 4 TB. I wanted a small windows partition to be able to use other software. I managed to divide the partition, it is 3.95 TB for the iMac and the other partition is 50 Gm and is formatted as MS_DOS (FAT). How can I use this score to give me windows or do I have to use bootcamp and after partitioning reinstall my os system and then install windows.

    Thanks for any help, even if you confirm that it can be the way I am.

  • Blinking cursor Windows 7 iMac, retina end-2014

    Hello

    I have problems with Bootcamp & Windows 7. I have:

    iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014)

    4 Ghz Intel Core i7 processor

    32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 memory

    Startup disk 500 GB Flash storage

    Graphics AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4096 MB

    Serial number d25PM0VSFY14

    10.10.4 OS

    51.14 Bootcamp & Windows 7

    I also have a surge protector and battery backup.

    It is the second time this has happened to me. I have Windows 7 installed on a partition on my hard drive. I primarily use Windows for work. I go back to my computer, after he went to sleep through the night and there is only a black screen with a blinking cursor.

    1 restart does not help. Windows starts to load and says "Windows Recovery" but then returns to the black screen and the blinking cursor.

    2 press and hold F8 does nothing.

    3. I installed a program of NTFS file and deleted the ATI drivers as another (old) suggested post. It did not set the issue.dd

    4. I restarted my key USB from Bootcamp/Windows 7, however, the keyboard and the mouse are dead when the Windows Setup screen appears.

    The Mac partition continues to operate correctly. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The first time that this has happened, I finally gave up and had to wipe the HD, reinstall Windows and all software. I lost at least a whole day of work because of this. I'd really, really prefer not to have to reformat again - especially because it seems that this could happen just once again. Is this a known issue with the display and Windows 7 drivers?

    Help, please!

    Thank you

  • Transfer iTunes Music From Windows on iMac

    I am trying to help my sister. She has a very old Windows Vista laptop that is to his last breath. She wants to transfer the music from iTunes to Windows to an iMac (iOS 10.9.5).

    I tried searching on these boards without success. Both the posts that I found about this are old. Links to the answers, items of information, etc. do not work. Other solutions to the issue of link to old items outside of the Apple community where you are notified that the solution is not authorized by Apple and so on.

    Music from CD only. There are dozens of CDs. Some of these CDs are now damaged or missing.

    She wants to transfer the entire library of music. She is not interested in playlists, etc.

    Thank you for your help in this matter.

    Gloria,

    On his current machine, if the library is not already consolidated, run the command build.  Then copy folder integer iTunes to the media (USB key or external hard drive) and the media for the new Mac.

  • Impossible to reinstall Windows on iMac 5 k (end of 2014) w / Fusion drive

    This past weekend, I had a problem with my Windows gel partition when running games, so I decided to reinstall completely the partition from the ground up. During installation, I keep running into this caveat that I can not go beyond: "we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. "I have made many things and suggestions to try to get installed it, but still continue to get that number. My computer is once more an iMac 5 k (end of 2014) with a merger of 3 TB drive. I had installed before, that's why I'm really irritated that I'm getting this question.

  • Is it possible to switch from an existing version of Creative Cloud Windows to iMac?

    Hello

    I would order Clod Creative inkl. Lightroom and Photoshop for 9.99 per month. I am currently using a Windows 8 machine, but about 5 months, I turn to the iMac.

    It will be possible to switch or do I need a new/second contract?

    As long as the Mac corresponds to the system requirements, you can use your Cloud software on it.  With a cloud subscription, you can have two machines with working facilities and they can use one or the other or both platforms.

  • 10 switch elements of Windows for iMac

    I bought Photoshop Elements about 9 months to go for windows.  I just bought an iMac and I am transferring all my files on.  I went to my email to purchase re-download items when I discovered it was the version of windows.  Is it possible that I can download the Mac version without having to buy it again?

    For elements, the license is cross-platform, so the same serial number is good for Mac or Windows.

  • Can I save one external hard drive to another on a mac?

    I have just changed Windows for iMac and I have no idea of the backup of the system on a mac.

    I have an external hard drive that is used for the pictures I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I want to know how I can backup this disc on an another external hard drive and update only the files that have changed on the original disc.

    It would be also possible to save the iMac to a third external hard drive?

    I would really appreciate the help.

    The best way to save your Mac's Time Machine. It can save the Mac gradually and keeps a history of backups, so that you can go to different moments in time when you restore your Mac.  Time Machine can also include external drives to the backup, see this link: the basics of the Mac: Time Machine

    If you want to save your Media Player separately use cloning software for updating a copy cloned, for example carbon copy clone.

  • Convenient way to transfer your photos with the browser with the interface to open the file one by one?

    Guys, is there a practical way to manage photos download from a browser with menu open the file?

    Almost 4 years ago I switched from Windows and I still have to keep a copy of Windows @ my iMac, retina uder | Desktop just to download the fotos on social networks!

    I can't find comparable sort on OS X with speed and efficiency of a Windows file manager in Windows! I have anyway to browse the files one by one in OS X and uploadinf the u as browser files? And then turning in the folder covered exactly the position of file where u left to transfer a file?

    For example I have 3000 photos in a folder of my trip to US. If I download choose and download few of them in a menu Finder to open the file in the browser and then return to the folder I want to browse all the photos from the beginning to find a file that I was browsing last! At least windows remembers the position of a file chosen when you left the file!

    Did you ever notice how LAGGY is photo navigation interface in the menu "Open a file" Safari? Especially when you set to display pictures in a LIST? GWD! The operating system that is more focused on the photo does not offer ANY practical way to manage photos!

    alejandro_64,

    Your workflow is erroneous. I would recommend that use you the Photos app to manage your photos and if you then want to upload them to a social network like Facebook, or else others you can do so directly from the Photos app. This way you can manage your photos and share those you want easily. If you use any Photos now, you're a great DIS-service.

    OS X is much more elegant and more simplified MS Windows has never been, unfortunately, you have not discovered what OS X features to do so.
