What are the capabilities of the boot camp?

I am deciding if I should a new macbook pro and I was wondering what were the boot camp capabilities. For example, I would be able to download and run programs like Microsoft Office for Windows 10 using boot camp?

The Boot Camp capabilities are the same as Windows would have on a PC with the same specifications.

  • Problems with Windows 7RC in the Boot Camp Partition

    I have Windows 7 RC (32-bit) running on a Boot Camp partition on a 2nd generation of MacBook Air.  When I try to load it in VMWare Fusion 2.04, I get a BSOD just after the "Starting Windows" screen finishes loading.  It says that Windows has detected a problem, try to restart and executes the boot system diagnostic tool, nothing helps.  I tried implementing VMWare using Vista and Windows Server 2008, 1280 MB RAM and 3D on and outside.  Any ideas?

    At the time current Windows 7 in any version is not supported by Apple on the Boot Camp partition, nor is it supported in any way under Fusion.

    Although it is not supported, it will work however it depends what Guest select you when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.  I don't got no problem using Windows Server 2008, when the virtual machine based on the creation of a regular file.

    On your Boot Camp partition was a clean build or you have an existing Boot Camp partition previously Virtual Machine.  If you had a Boot Camp existing partition previously Virtual Machine then try the following.

    ====================

    Note: These senses are different which have already been posted so read and follow through... Note: These steps assume that you have a single Apple to default installation of Windows on a single Boot Camp partition and Boot Camp of VMware Fusion single default partition Machine virtual (without a snapshot *) and if you have changed the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Machine package virtual first. * Also note that Fusion 2.0.0 may accidentally have a snapshot with the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine and it should not have, then you should check to ensure that the condition does not exist as well. (With merger closed if the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine package is over 1 MB in size, then you might have a snapshot in place and do not continue with these instructions.)

    ===

    1. If the merger is open, close it.

    2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will delete the partition Boot Camp Virtual Machine of the metadata and the Virtual Machine to help.

    Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition install windows in that it does not remove it.  Also be sure you copy all the command line below, as well as, "RM" at the beginning of the ' (quote) after the s in the Machines. "

    VMware is a company so I doubt that you have implemented the company however, your statement is a bit ambiguous because it is not clear if your always talk your partition Boot Camp Machine virtual matter in Fusion, you tried to select each of them as an OS on the entrance of Boot Camp partition on the Virtual Machine library and it didn't help the Boot Camp Virtual Machine partition number or to be issues with creating virtual machines with these operating systems.

  • The Boot Camp Partitions drive and abandon

    I am running OS X El Capitan, Version 10.11.5 early 2016, 12 inches and I am trying to load Windows 8.1 Pro using Boot Camp.  (ignore what is in the product box)

    Boot Camp successfully created a program loading of Windows, including the Apple drivers on my USB.

    I was able to successfully partition my HDD 256GB.  50 GB for Boot Camp and ~ 200 GB for my OS X.

    After the partition, the Boot Camp program is finished and I have a screen with my Mac OS disc and my Boot Camp disk.   My Boot Camp drive is completely empty.

    When I restart the Boot Camp, I gives me the possibility to remove the disc from Boot Camp.

    How can I load Windows 8.1 on my Boot Camp drive?   Should I delete the disk Windows/Boot Camp Partition and start again?

    Macs 2015 and more late do not use a USB Installer. Disconnect the external storage, launch BCA, delete the current Windows partition and start all over again. You must put the ISO of Windows in your Documents folder and it must be dismantled.

  • Reinstall XP on Portege R600 - what are the necessary drivers?

    Hello

    I am plan to reinstall windows, since something (a driver/program/idontknowwhat) seem to access my hard drive at random times (often), which means that ever, it stops turning and still makes noise. It was already the case (but a little less than now) with preinstalled system, even with wdfrgmgr.exe disabled and without using a swap file on the hard drive, so since I don't know what are the causes (is - anyone here know?) and since it seems impossible to upgrade to an SSD, I'll just install a clean winXP install only necessary basic stuff (especially not all control panels).

    I would like to know what drivers from the Web site are essential and those that are not.
    I'll definitely install base drivers common Module, driver Display Driver LAN, HDD Protection Utility, Power Saver, his Driver, Touch Pad Driver, Webcam Driver, Wireless LAN Driver (Intel).
    I will not install (but maintaining install files on my disc for emergencies) acoustic silencer, Assist, Bluetooth Monitor, controls, cooling running Diagnostic tool, DVD player, Management Console, password, PC, PC monitor diagnostic, tool utility utility boot memory SD SD utilities, security help, SSD Alert, power utility Touchpad utility , USB Sleep & charge utility, utility zoom. I'm missing something essential (and obviously not in name) by installing is not it?

    * Now my other question: which with other drivers? I don't know what they are doing here is so my doubts since the following drivers: *.

    (1) pilot 3 G and 3 G RF power control utility: is this necessary if I never use it, or do not install the power utility will lose power (thus reducing my battery life?)

    (2) Intel Active Management Technology and Intel Matrix Storage Manager: is it necessary that the machine works correctly? I can't find the right information anywhere.

    (3) chipset utility: I am surprised it is not called driver... it is some control panel I don't need or is it actually a driver?

    (4) ConfigFree, hotkey wireless and Wireless Manager: my wireless internet will work without it?

    (5) display device Exchange & Hotkey utilities for display devices: these do what exactly?

    (6) microphone effect: is it only the echo canceller or also a necessary micro driver?

    (7) mobile Extension: what is it exactly?

    (8) trusted Platform Module: is it necessary to install this if I am not using any other explicitly related function?

    (9) public services: this product contains all I need to install the drivers? Or is it just a bunch of utilities like his name?

    Thanks in advance!
    Peter

    (1) you have not need drivers 3 G, if you do not use 3 G

    (2) Yes, you need to install these devices from Intel, they are important.

    (3) the Chipset driver is probably the most important of all drivers. Toshiba common modules is also very important. You must install these two before anything else.

    (4) Yes, we must still work. You can install the keyboard shortcut, so you can enable or disable Wifi on and outside

    (5) you need to install these, they support some features of the Fn key, so you can use an external monitor, etc...

    (6) I don't think that you will need. If you encounter problems with microphone, install

    (7) install the Mobile Extensions if you have a Port Replicator.

    (8) If you do not use the TPM encryption, simply disable it in the BIOS

    (9) you must install the utilities, so you can change the hardware settings within Windows.

  • Lack of the boot camp partition

    I use El Capitan OSX and I decided to install boot camp. I began installing Windows 7 and it has 100 GB. After installation in the Boot Camp Assistant the Macbook restarted and then appeared the installer of Windows 7. I started to install but then appeared the first problem - he says it takes 200 MB to install, but I had only 170 MB of space free (?) and is clearly not true, I always 70 GB left in the Mac OSX and 100 GB in the Windows side. So it will not let me install Windows...
    The second problem is that it is not a boot camp partition, but it took 100 GB of memory of my Macbook. I tried to uninstall everything through the Assistant Boot Camp, but the only thing it allows me to do is to install a new windows and new partition...

    Please help ASAP!

    1. in what year is your MBP?

    2. If you tried an EFI (depending on your Mac) installation, this reference (200 MB/170 MB) is generally the EFI partition.

  • The Boot Camp Assistant problems

    I'm trying to install 10 Windows on my MacBook Pro 13.3 2015 "running Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.2) but I can't not (for software that is not supported by Mac OS X). I tried several times but it still says that my disk space is not enough (don't remember the exact words in the error message). I then opened the Boot Camp Assistant in the terminal and saw that it only recognizes that the reader would have 4 GB of free space available (I have a 500 GB SSD and 130 GB is used) but some insane amount about 140000000000000 GB has been used (what?). When I check in disk utility, I get also some suspicions that Boot Camp Assistant selects the Macintosh HD partition, instead the real player. In the Boot Camp Assistant, I can choose the size of the partition (I want let 370 GB for OS X in the Macintosh HD partition and get 128 GB for Boot Camp / partition Windows 10). I can't get this to work and I am grateful for any help!

    Windows Installer can generate false messages on a disk space. Do you have any connected external storage when you try to install Windows?

  • Where should I install the Boot Camp updates: Windows or Mac?

    With the help of Boot Camp, I have installed Windows 10 when my OS from Apple was Yosemite. Recently, I upgraded the operating system Apple to El Capitan. Today, while working on the side of Windows 10 things, I got a notice of pop-up that I should install the update for Boot Camp. So I have two questions actually:

    • (1) was not the latest version of Boot Camp included in the update of El Capitan? and,
    • (2) should I download it then install the Boot Camp update, when I run Windows 10 or when I'm on the side of Mac?

    1 n ° with the exception of the Boot Camp Assistant, all components of Boot Camp are Windows software and does not part of Mac OS X.

    2. do Windows.

  • When I close a program, it seems that the page is molten! What are the causes that

    Just as I said, when I close my Internet explore the page looks as it melts down.

    When I close the Office computer looks like it is melting.

    What are the causes and how can I fix what is wrong

    I ran mcafee and malware programs.

    I have compaq presario v5000

    Windows xp

    32 bit

    do not add ons running.

    I don't see how someone can offer you promising ideas knowing more about your system.  The best you can get is speculation on what might work sometimes maybe. All we seem to know is what sort of a Presario V5000 with XP (there are a lot of different V5000s).

    It worked better in Mode safe or clean boot?  Even if it did, this does not your problem, unless you want to run mode without failure or boot for the rest of your life.

    If you restored to the factory settings in the past, then you have all your video drivers updated?  Chances are good that everything that comes out of the plant is outdated when it leaves the factory.

    If I were you, I would first take a look at your specifications and make sure that your video drivers are up to date.

    Should be considered ditching of McAfee (since it's a famous memory and CPU hog) and replace it with something with a smaller footprint like Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE).  You can simply use the McAfee uninstaller install temporarily and see how things work... you can always reinstall later if you are forced to do it, right?  (but I wouldn't).

    If you still have the problem after all and the verification of your video drivers, check the properties of your system performance (especially the Visual effects) Options.

    Why don't you do this so that we can see what you have:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    For video device and driver information, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

    How can I find out what programs I should have started and what are the programs I can start myself to my computer to run correctly when starting?

    Hello

    I understand you want to learn about programs, you should start your Windows startup. I will certainly help you to question.

    When you start Windows by using a normal startup startup, several applications and services automatically, and then run in the background. These programs include the base system, antivirus software, utility applications processes system and other software that was previously installed. These applications and services may cause interference when you install or run a program.

    The system configuration is a tool that can help identify problems that might prevent Windows from starting correctly. You can start Windows with common services and startup programs turned off and then reactivate them, one at a time.

    I suggest you to refer to the links below and check if this is useful:

    Using the Configuration System (msconfig)

    Perform a clean boot to determine if background programs interfere with your game or program

  • What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?

    What are the size of partition recommended for installing Windows 7 Professional 64-bit? I have a 2 TB internal hard drive and want to install Windows and Norton Internet Security on the drive C, drive D and drive E data programs.

    Thanks for a response.

    Brenda

    Original title: size partition Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

    For technical purposes, I recommend you only keep utilities all programs that you install on the startup disk. This is recommended if you plan to upgrade to future releases of Windows such as Windows 8 because you will experience problems with the installation program.

    I recommend however, you can keep accumulated data such as Documents, Photos, music, videos on a separate partition to ensure custody.

    The recommended size for the boot drive around things like Windows, future growth for applications and the Windows updates and program updates will be considered.

    So I recommend not more than 200 GB, for a lot of space, I would shoot up to 300 if you want to keep things like System Restore Points.

  • Change HDD to the SSD, what are the options?

    Hi guys, new to the forum, I just bought a thinkpad x130e during a sales event on one of the local retailer, pretty excited, because I like the rugged design.

    I am looking to upgrade to 320G HDD for one SSD 128G... but I have no installation disc 7 windows very practical, so, what are the options for me to install the operating system (windows 7).

    I don't know if there is a way to transfer the whole of the SSD HARD drive? is there a trick to perform? or quite simply, I just bought the new copy of windows?

    COS, I noticed that I have a windows7 pro product key at the bottom of my thinkpad, I kinda don't want to lose money.

    Help, please...

    You don't need to buy another copy of Win7. You will need

    1 SSD. It has to be is not 7mm thick, the most common 9.5 mm thick.

    2 USB box for your HARD drive,

    3. software to "clone" the content of your disk to your SSD. Acronis True Image is a well-respected package that does this. There are also a few free utilities that can do this, however, I'm not familiar with them.

    Procedure:

    1. move the HARD disc on the outer envelope.

    2 put the SSD in the X130e.

    3 reboot from the HARD disk. (You need to interrupt the boot with the blue ThinkVantage button to specify).

    4. install Acronis (or equivalent).

    5 RIP clone disk. You will have to tell the software how you resize partitions because you go to a smaller drive.

    6 restart from SSD.
