Installation of Windows 7 to be run as a VM Fusion on a MacBook Pro

I installed Windows 7 RC on my Mac Pro (I used a whole HARD drive and I go under Boot Camp).

I would like to install Windows 7 RC on my new laptop (gen MacBook Pro). There were a few disuccsions here when Win7 was the public beta Boot Camp or Fusion supporter, but I didn't know all the problems again with installing Boot Camp on my Mac Pro. The MacBook Pro, I haven't decided whether to perform the installation in a new Boot Camp partition (I currently have XP installed as a Fusion VM only) or only as a VM in Mac OS under Fusion. My questions:

  1. Can I use the same. ISO installer I already downloaded from the Microsoft site and engraved on a DVD; i.e., I need a unique activation code? If the answer is 'yes' is there a way to get a second Microsoft activation code without having to download another. ISO installer image?

  2. Once I solved that, can I install a VM Win7 on Fusion 2.0.4? If this is not the case, can I create a new Boot Camp partition and install Win7, then adopt the machine?

Thank you very much

Jim Robertson

Hello

Yes, you can even use. ISO Installer to install windows 7.0 on the merger, however, to cause activation, you may contact Microsoft.There is not necessary to create the new partition to boot camp, you can install windows 7 directly on the merger, you can check the link provided below, it will be useful:

  • How well El Capitan will run on an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"Late 2008"

    One of my Macs is an old 15 "model of MacBook Pro"late 2008 ". I know that it supports El Capitan, but what I wonder is really run him El Capitan? What interests me is the user experience of real life?

    My MacBook Pro is currently under Snow leopard 10.6.8 and it has 8 GB of RAM installed.

    I thought maybe I could take an approach gently gently and install El Capitan on a different hard disk, or maybe partition the internal hard drive and install it on one of the partitions? Any thoughts on this approach?

    My internal hard drive is a model 1 TB of Seagate hybrid.

    Thank you!

    With 8 GB of ram, it will work fine. Install on an external drive or an internal partition is a wise option that you can get rid of it if it does not meet expectations. Be aware that some of your applications can work more like exceeding 10.6.8 Rosetta support has been dropped.

  • How can I transfer the mail, Safari, iTunes, etc of my 2008 MacBook running OS 10.5.8, a new MacBook Pro (with Ethernet port) or a new MacBook Air?

    What machine you're leaning towards? With Air, you have to use ether WIFI or have the old drive on an external drive configuration. With a new Macbook Pro, the simplest method is to use the migration assistant. Access your Macbook in public services and to see, there you have it.

Here's what apple says.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350 you should know that some of the apps in Leopard will be obsolete in El Captian. There you transfer, it can cause problems. I use the thinking that if I can replace it with a download I do this. The transfer or, if there is an update for it.

    Why when I run the installer for Windows 8 consumer preview on my computer of Windows XP Home Edition he says: "this platform is not supported"?

    You can see this message if you downloaded Windows 8 64-bit and XP 32-bit. To start the installation of Windows 8, you will need to restart and boot from the installation of Windows 8 media.

  • If I insert a Windows Installation disc in my existing PC, run a new configuration?

    I intend to install XP by converting the contents of the disc to an ISO and then mount it in VirtualBox. But my main goal here is when I insert the disc in my drive, it let me access my regular PC, and show the installation process?

    Thank you

    You can insert the disc and it will have no effect on your installation running. You will not be able to start the installation of Windows XP in Windows 7. If you install on a virtual machine, the program you ask mount you an ISO or select the installation source such as disconnection of your physical disk, then connect it to the virtual machine.

    I recently released and bought 4 hard to present itself as a raid 10 disks, now I use my motherboards onboard fakeraid an ihc10r. The cables are fine and when I try and install windows 7 (64 x pro) on each disk with raid and ahci disabled in the bios, windows installs fine. Now when I raid raid 10 disks windows install can see the drive and even then, I load the drivers just to be sure that iastor.sys etc. (I tried with and without) is the same every time after the first reboot, I get about 10 minutes and 2 minutes after the resolution of the screen is adjusted BOOM "installation of windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    First of all, then someone please help me get windows installed on my raid?

    Second, microsoft, your error messages leave much to be desired, it does not yet add a message in the Setup error log.

    EDIT: Forgot to add that I did a memtest and it happened, I also have the piece of garbage jmicron on my MB off the power. In addition, the facility produces when the SATA controller is in AHCI mode, BUT not in raid mode.

    Seems to me that if the software/driver is not compatible Windows 7. Also if any of the readers have reminants of your installation for each individual unit, Windows 7 may not be able to deal with formatting during the installation process. Try to download CD bootable diagnostic of the manufacture in car and do two things.

    (1) check each drive individually for issues.

    (2) wipe the drive (WD can for example remove the first and last part of the training which completely removes the MBR and other reminants for the final result is the drive looks like you just removed from the box and plugged in for the first time.)
