How to install windows 8.1 using boot camp on sierra os
Im trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit on my end 2011 MacBook Pro using boot camp.
I downloaded the ISO from Microsoft file and saved it in the downloads.
i boot boot camp and she has 2 activated options are: software DOWNLOAD to apple support and the other is latest windows install or remove windows 10 or later.
I'm not sure why it says windows 10 as it is not compatible with my mac earlier. anyway I check the two options and then bootcamp download all drivers and records them in my pendrive of 32GB.
He then asks me what hard drive partition and I choose but then it says: he cannot find the installation file. I tried opening the file so it is mounted, but nothing works. I thought it's supposed to tell you what to do?
Thanks for any help
A Mac 2011 needs a physical DVD to install Windows and need to use the optical drive (CD/DVD). You cannot use an external CD/DVD drive.
Please burn the ISO on a DVD-R SL and then click the installation option only.

How to install windows 7 in dual boot on Satellite M840?
Hello
I've had this laptop M - 840 a week ago, pre-installed with windows 8. I can't replace the operating system with windows 7 as most of my Win 8 incompatible applications.

Kind regards

To install Windows 7 on the laptop of Win8, you must change some settings in the BIOS.
First of all, you have to disable startup secure in the BIOS.
Second pass of the UEFI BIOS for the CSM and save the changes.Now you should be able to install Win 7
But before doing this, I recommend that you create the recovery media (Flash disk to USB memory or recovery Toshiba

With parallel should I still need to use boot camp to install windows 7?
Hello
For example if my mac pro laptop computer requires to install the Windows 7 operating system and I have a parallel software do I need to install via boot camp?
No, Boot Camp is not necessary to install Windows 7 in Parallels. Parallels installs Windows 7 by starting in the virtual machine.
You will need to launch Parallels in OS X, use the construction in the wizard to create a new virtual machine for Windows 7 and configure it with enough disk space and memory to run it inside of OS X.

You can install Parallels, but you will not be able to transfer your license existing if its already active in Boot Camp. You first need to remove the Boot Camp, then you can transfer it to Parallels. You may need to reactivate by phone:

Adding an SSD as a boot drive - how to install Windows Vista Start
To speed up my new e9105z, I bought a new 80 GB Intel X - 25 M to reduce disk latency and complete the 640GO HARD drive came with my computer.
Drive has been installed successfully, recognized by the PC and formatted with the Windows Vista Disk Manager tool. When I use the BIOS tool to set the Intel SSD as my boot drive, it says that some files of startup is missing, and I come to on the HARD disk as the startup disk.
Bottom line: how to install Windows Vista on the SSD and configure it to start? Did I lose my classic HDD data in the process?
Thank you

Here is where I am/measures taken. HP of course makes this difficult process:
(1) used the CD Creator to make a backup. (Note that the CD - R does not work with the e9105z software. Do only DVD-R). (I tried the system HARD disk recovery image. He simply reinstalled itself on the HARD disk.)
(2) the value of Vista installed on the SSD via backup DVDs. System starts beautifully with SSD. Hooray! I was about to declare mission accomplished, then...
(3) Reconnected my HDD SATA cable, she failed to be the startup disk.
(4) I used disk management to reformat the HARD drive to erase its boot sector. It is always default to the HARD disk, which is more a Vista on it. Now, I must go into the BIOS and choose the Intel SSD as boot drive whenever I turn on manually.
Any idea on what needs to be done to configure the BIOS to finally settle the SSD as my boot drive? The backup system image is still on the old hard drive. Could that be throwing?
The SSD speed is great, but the 6 + hours spent on Vista reinstall, reinstall and reinstall throughout this trial and error process made a royal PITA to do. It seems that HP didn't consider that whether by adding a second drive that is bootable.
Thank you
millergd
You should be able to select the startup disk in the BIOS. Restoring image shouldn't be a factor. If the BIOS settings do not work, I would swap the connectors between the readers.
Good luck

How to install Windows XP using USB Flash Drive in Windows 7?

Hello
The Microsoft Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool is designed for the installation of Windows 7, is not for the installation of XP.
I suggest that you use Google that Microsoft does not support what you want to do.

I don't think that you can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on El Capitan:
- A Microsoft Windows installation media or disc image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later *.
From: How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.
Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.
