Win 7 on my Imac

I have a copy of Vista OEM for a dell computer, if I install on my Imac and then buy a copy of Win 7 and install on my Vista it will stay activated? Now after 30 days my Vista stops because he is not authorized with the Imac.  I want to install win 7 on an OEM Vista on an Imac, I can do without any problem? Thank you, Greg!

  • Boot camp install Win 7 on iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)"

    Hello

    I am experiencing a problem installing Win 7 on my iMac 27 "(ultimo 2009)." I got this version installed two years without a problem, but now it concerns me.

    When you create the partition, bootcamp and starting from the Win 7 DVD I am able to install it without problem. When the PC reboots after you download windows support on my USB, install windows and is about to start Windows for the first time, it freezes and the screen is all black.

    I read on the support site you need to create and image of the Win 7 dvd which should be used in conjunction with boot camp, but I can't choose this option (it simply is not here) "disk image", when using boot camp.

    So what to do?

  • Bootcamp partition not found...

    Hello

    I am installing Win 8 on my iMac with OS X EL Capitan, but it is harder than expected...

    I have the iso file to USB for Windows 8 64 bit, I start Bootcamp and I followed the directions for creating a partition on my hard drive, I number serial number, installation starts, but once it checks the partition where to install Windows it may not recognise and even if I format it does not work... here locked up the message that appears and when I stop...

    someone has a similar problem or can support me with this?

    Thanks in advance

  • Software update does not see Bootcamp 6

    I'm running OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan) on an iMac of retina end of 2015. I migrated from an older iMac, including to move a partition, Bootcamp with Winclone. I was able to move from Win 7 to 10 to win on the old iMac and successfully get the partition installs and runs on the new iMac, but with intermittent problems.

    Apple Software Update on 10 to win is a recent version, but he claims that all software up-to-date despite the fact that the Win partition is running Bootcamp 4! A downloaded installer 5 Bootcamp will let me install this version (not designed for this computer). However, every time I try to install Bootcamp and WindowsSupport to download drivers, the installation stops with an error in step "checking launch conditions.

    I could enter and update the drivers, but I can no longer use the Bootcamp Control Panel - it claims that I don't have sufficient privileges to change the boot volume, even if I'm using an administrator account. I also get random and BSOD diversions, but not consistently.

    How 6 Bootcamp to install? Other solutions I've seen about having Apple Software Update download it, but mine says I'm updating and then closes. I can't run the installer Bootcamp directly, because he says he needs privileges escalated the use of setup.exe. When I followed a suggestion elsewhere and used a tool called Orca to modify the .msi file to install Bootcamp, I could make a copy and remove both escalated privileges the conditions to launch "requires Windows 7", but it would still not work, saying that I had to be on Windows 7.

    Long story, but what gives? For the moment, it may not be important that I am under Bootcamp 4, but I suspect that this situation won't last long. Mainly, I can't understand how to upgrade the Bootcamp software without backleveling in Windows 7 (which I can do yet, apparently, but not taken in charge on my new iMac) or wipe the partition and fresh install from an ISO and a new activation key (and to try to restore all my files and applications).

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You should run Boot Camp 5 to proceed to 6. Regarding the latest software support, the options are:

  • Expand XP hard drive?

    I am running Win/XP on my iMac and have noticed that the icon 'the disk light blue' is the long periods of time every time I try to write a file on the disk. Looking at the stats from hard drive on the XP client, I see that it's a 20 GB drive with only 1.1 GB free. Kind of leads me to believe that the hard drive can be stolen in an attempt to find free blocks. There is only so much rubbish on the drive that can be removed.

    My question is - can I stop this virtual guest and allocate more space HDD without losing data already on the virtual drive of 20 GB? Or, is it possible to add a second drive "D" at this prompt?

    Thanks, Jim

    Yes... Take a look at: resizing of the ramdisks with step by step Instructions

    Or, is it possible to add a second drive "D" at this prompt?

    You can add that a second HDD virtual, but with so little space on the C: drive I would opt to expand the size of the virtual hard disk, and then expand the virtual partition which is the C: drive.

  • VMWare Fusion (trial) vs Parallels (currently own)

    Hello

    I need a virtual machine to run Win ME on my iMac (Leopard 10.5.7) 24 "3.06 ghz with Nvidia Geforce 8800 GS.

    I have win me or Win 98 to run my Oxford English Dictionary CD-ROM 2nd ed. worm. 2 (this isn't any dictionary - cost me about $400 in 2000). That is why only that I have to run a PC! I can just barely run the OED in Parallels. Parallels does not support Win 98 or Win Me. Do not load the virtual tools; the display is only 16 colors... Victoire Me sucks Parallels. BUT at least the OED will work on Parallels (even if in a sad state). I want to buy VMWare because Win Me over like a champ and looks a lot like VMWare Fusion. It all seemed too good to be true that I explored the trial I downloaded VMware. Well, it was too good to be true. VMware, the OED CD-ROM Cdilla Safedisc 1 protection will not allow the data disk must be authenticated.

    Why, why charge Parallels the OED on Win ME without problems of authentication, but VMWare can not? (The OED also worked well on Virtual PC, 4, 5 and 6.)

    If anyone can help get VMware to load my copy legally purchased of the OED, I buy VMWare Fusion in blink of an eye.

    BTW, I'm not the only user of the OED facing this problem. There are others on other forums on the internet who wants to hear that their beloved OED can be run with VMWare without having to buy the new version of the OED. The charge to their former owners of the OED for the new native Mac version of the OED is $ 295. (There is no price upgrade for Mac users because it was not a Mac version of the OED since the beginning of the 1990s. Only Windows versions that are entangled with the atrocious Cdilla Safedisc protection were on the market. Therefore, run the OED on a virtual PC. Yes, Yes, another sad story. )

    Hope that there is no help there. I'm used to my own problems, but I am confused as to why VMWare which seems so much better than Parallels to handling Win ME can not open the OED as painless as Parallels.

    I can't wait to start an arms race, but you can try adding the following to your virtual machine configuration file:

    monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "TRUE"
    

    If this does not work, try the following:

    monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware"
    

    In both cases, you must remove these configuration options once you have completed the installation.

  • No audio - Win 10 on iMac 27 retina

    I created a 2015 + iMac 27 retina with 10 Windows on a USB external drive (Samsung T3)

    The installer of the support software said bootcamp "this mac is not supported" or similar, although whether the last big training camp out that claims to support this machine and more. However, I installed the drivers in the folder and the Mac is fine - except no audio output.

    When I open the control panel sound devices, there are 6 cases of 'Digital Audio view' listed (AMD high definition Audio Devices) which are all "not connected", then an element 'Audio Digital (S/PDIF)"that is activated and has clearly the signal passes through it.

  • Key USB bootable Windows created on PC Win for iMac

    Hello

    Hard drive in the iMac to my uncle recently crashed beyond the period of guarantee (bought 3 years ago). Repair and check orders gave an error. Only option seems to erase the partition class and create a new, but he has files that it contains so I would like to find a better solution and besides, there is no guarantee that I'll be able to install a new OS on the drive hard as the hard drive seems to be the cause of the problem - it's clicking. When we turn on the Mac, only gray screen and loading time for eternity circle. Google search did not help. My uncle paid $1800 at BestBuy for a so-called quality iMac only run in a hard drive potentially died 3 years later. && ^ & ce $@$*. I told him not to buy an iMac that I never used their and had no idea how to fix them either, but after all, forums and discussions I've scoured, it seems, NOBODY, not even Apple, has an idea on how to solve this problem. So hopefully someone here can tell me if it is possible to create a Bootable USB drive for Windows on a Windows PC for USE on a IMAC, DATA on IT WITHOUT CLEAR ALL MY UNCLE! If that's the case, then please provide instructions. Your help is very appreciated! Thank you!

    The answer to your question is no.  Windows must be installed using BootCamp for BootCamp provides the drivers for Windows which is necessary for the Mac hardware.  Windows is also able to read natively an HFS volume +.  You are better off starting the recovery internet computer and then install OS X on an external drive.  If you hear clicking on the internal hard disk, then it is an indicator that there is a hardware failure with the hard drive for data recovery is not always possible.
