Best way to install Windows 8 on an iMac with 1tb Fusion drive

I just ordered my first iMac. Not my first mac, I have owned numerous Mac laptops in the past but am finally ready to make the switch for my main desktop .
Now I need to installed windows 8.1 because I need to run visual studio. That is literally the only app I need to run.
Ordered with the below specs:
27" imac
i7 processor
1tb fusion drive
16gb ram.
I am thinking of two options:
1) use parallels or vmware fusion and create a 200gb windows virtual machine and give this machine 6gb ram (4gb is recommend by more couldn't hurt). since the fusion drive works at a block level, my windows OS and vs should parts of the VM file should get moved to the SSD as I will be using it a lot. my main goal is max performance. i will be working on metro apps (not windows phone apps). any recommendation on which is better? parallels or vmware? stability and performance is key. i don't need any fancy UI integration and i won't run any games. happy to run windows in fullscreen mode.
2) create a 200gb partition and run bootcamp. cleary more stable but will it be faster than above because i am assuming the ssd caching will not working here?
per mircorosft website they give instructions for both options above, but i am looking for realworld experience in what will get be most stability in terms of network IO (working on UPNP apps so need stable network bridging) and then performance is key.
HDD size is not a big deal for me as most of my media lives in my synology NAS.

virtual machine will be more stable
bootcamp will be faster but the only place you will notice is if you play new 3d games on diwndows

    If your computer with an internal optical drive you must use that to install Windows in a Boot Camp partition.
    If you are having problems with Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox virtual machines you should visit their respective sites for assistance.

  • HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
    If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

  • Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

    My superdrive have broken, anyone have experience installing windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive?

    It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

  • Unable to install Windows on an 2010 iMac with home-made Fusion Drive

    Hi there,
    I've been very happy using mi iMac eversince I installed the SSD alongside the HDD.  Only recently I tried to install Windows 7 but it doesn't seem to work.  The installer runs, it seems as though Windows is installing but it doesn't ever seem to be able to boot.  I've tried countless times.  Everytime it boots to Windows it shows nothing but just a black screen with the cursor blinking at the top left corner.
    Now, when I home-made the Fusion Drive the Mac OS was only 10.8.2 or older and I know that with 10.8.3 Apple has made improvements towards boot camp and especially the 3TB HDDs.  I wonder if this could have anything to do.
    Anyway, please enlighten me as to what is it that I need to do to make it work.  I've been reading something about the position in which the Windows partition resides compared to GUID and EFI but honestly I have just the tiniest idea about all that.  Just for the record, the following is what shows in the Terminal after diskutil list command:
    diskutil list
    /dev/disk0
       #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
       0:      GUID_partition_scheme                        *256.1 GB   disk0

    Hope you can help..!

    Hello again, by reading a couple of posts I learnt the steps and so, using an external OS I repartitioned the two internal drives making sure the Windows partition wasn't part of the Fusion Drive.  I was very excited as I was sure it would work and went ahead and started the Win7 installation even before the MacOS was restored into the iMac.
    No good news though.  The installer run as expected however, when the time came for the iMac to boot from the newly installed Windows7, all I saw was a blank screen and a blinking dash at the top left corner of the screen.
    Lastly, this morning I woke up to see that my old system was fully restored from Time Machine external back up.  I also leart that using the Boot Camp Assistant I could remove the Windows partition that I created on Terminal from the external OS, which was surprising, I honestly thought that that partitioning arrangement would be off-limits for the Boot Camp Assistant.
    Still, I haven't been succesfull installing Windows back to my Mac, can anybody help?

    I would in fact recommend a universal 2.5" and 3.5" to USB that is readily available online. Shouldn't cost more than $15 USD and you can use it for SATA, IDE, and PATA. And besides, you never know when it will come in handy.

  • What is the best way to install windows 8 on MacBookPro Mtn Lion(VM, boot camp...) to maximize hardware & features

    Has anyone installed Windows 8 on MacBook Pro? Is it best to use Boot Camp or virtual software in order to maximize the Mac trackpad usage in Windows 8 (for a better "touch screen type" experience)? Will virtual software suck the power out of the MacBook if I need to use it for intense picture image editing and because of this should I stick to boot Camp even if it does not allow me to use the multi uses of the trackpad?

    Apple's bootcamp doesn't support Windows 8 at this time only Windows 7
    You can run Win 8 (or almost anything really) in a virtual machine, free Virtualbox

  • Installing Windows 7 on an X301 with no optical drive

    As the title says - how do you do it?
    I know the obvious solution is to buy an external optical drive, but I do not want to buy one specifically for the purpose and then have no use for it thereafter.
    Are the following options feasible (or possible!):
    - piggyback off the CDROM drive from your main PC, like a Macbook Air
    - install the OS from a USB stick
    Thank you for all suggestions.

    Install from a USB-stick! It's fast, reliant and quiet!
    If you are unsure how to create a Windows 7 Installation USB-stick, here's a short guide:
    The following how-to assumes that you're working on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7 with the Windows 7 ISO or Windows 7 DVD available.
    Step 1. Format the USB flash memory drive to FAT32 file system
    Run CMD.EXE and type the following commands. Note: This set of commands assumes that the USB flash drive is addressed as “disk 1″. Double check that by doing a list of the disks (type “list disk”) before cleaning it.
       1. diskpart
       2. select disk 1
       3. clean
       4. create partition primary
       5. select partition 1
       6. active
       7. format fs=fat32
       8. assign
       9. exit
    Step 2. Copy Windows 7’s DVD ROM content to the Flash Drive
    Type in command to start copying all the content from the Windows 7 DVD (or mounted ISO) to your newly formatted high speed flash drive. Note: In this example "d:\" is your Windows 7 DVD, and "e:\" is your USB-stick.
        xcopy d:\*.* /s/e/f e:\
    Step 3. Setup your computer BIOS to boot from USB Drive
    Step 4. Install Windows 7 from your flash memory drive!

  • Installing Windows 7 on 2009 iMac with Radeon 4850 graphics (Guide)

    Howdy
    (This was originally posted in the iMac forum by me as a reply to a Windows 7 question, but I figured it may be useful here too. This may be adjustable to work on other 2009 series macs, but I make no promises. If anyone has any tips on how to get the things working that I mentioned as not, feel free to reply. I would love keyboard volume control specifically :p)
    I was able to get Windows 7 64bit installed on my 2009 iMac. I was expecting it not to work, but in the end it did (with surprisingly little effort)
    I have the following iMac:
    Early 2009 iMac
    3.06 GHz
    4GB Ram
    Radeon 4850
    How to get video to work:
    1) Download latest "desktop" video drivers from ATI's site (I used catalyst 9.7)
    32 bit: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-32bit
    64 bit: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit
    2) Run MobilityModder from the following link: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
    3) Follow the directions on the page (When it sais Vista only, that means Win7 too)
    How to get audio to work:
    1) Download exe installer from the following page: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24 &Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
    2) Run the installer
    Things that do work
    Video (Built in version isn't the best, follow directions above)
    Audio (Built in version doesn't work, follow directions above)
    Wireless Internet (Built in)
    Wired Internet (Built in)
    Bluetooth (mouse and keyboard) (Built in)
    Things that I haven't figured out
    1) How to get the 64bit apple software frontend to install (the taskbar icon)
    2) How to get volume keys to work (the apple keyboard driver actually is worse than default)
    3) Things like changing brightness (but I would assume this would go with getting the apple frontend software to work)
    Comments
    1) It is blazing fast
    2) While this works on 64bit, I don't think 32bit would be much different to setup
    3) Using the latest ATI drivers are important because they support the new Windows 7 driver model (WDDM 1.1). While older versions may work (like bootcamp 2.1), they won't be the most advanced or fastest performing.
    4) While I haven't been able to install the bootcamp software (Win7 warns that it is incompatible), from what I've read (all the posts about DPC latency), it is probably better off for performance
    5) Your mileage may vary, I haven't tested this on anything other than my 24" radeon 4850 iMac. I also haven't tested it on 32bit, so don't blame me if something doesn't work right. Basically, if you break something it isn't my fault
    6) Bluetooth pairing is somewhat quirky, it usually goes pretty quickly for the mouse. Sometimes it will take multiple tries (canceling out, and starting again, etc) especially for the keyboard. Once everything is paired though it works perfect without any extra drivers.
    7) Remember this isn't supported by Apple yet.

  • How i install Windows 8 on my iMac whit, How i install Windows 8 on my iMac with all drivers working well?

    Hi,
    I just want to know if bootcamp allready supports windows 8 with all drivers working like magic mouse gestures, the optic drive, sd card, USB ports, bluetooth al patches are working fine and if all is working ok how to intall, if is a normal bootcamp installation or requires other procedure
    Thank you

    The Windows 7 drivers worked perfectly for me on my Early-2011 Core i5 MBP.
    It's not officially supported by Apple yet as it's pre-release software, but you can install it without any problems.

  • How can I install winxp to bootcamp on imac with bad optical drive?

    I have a mid-2007 20" aluminum Intel-based iMac and I'm having trouble getting a clean install of MacOS10.5.8 and Win XP (through Bootcamp) on a new drive.
    The problem stems from the fact that I have no internal optical drive.  My Superdrive began acting up a while ago (couldn't recognize, read from, or write to DVD). I replaced the drive, but the problem persisted.  Calling Apple Support, they determined (guessed?) the problem was the logic board, and, as the machine is out of warranty, isn't worth replacing.  No big deal - I've been using an external USB optical drive when needed. 
    However, my hard drive is beginning to experience issues (SMART Failure), and I want to reinstall everything MacOS, Bootcamp/Win XP on a clean new drive.  The problem is that I cant resinstall Win XP to Bootcamp without an internal drive (which seems unlikely to ever work).  I've tried creating a bootable USB key with the XP installation files going through the Bootcamp installation process using the WintoFlash/rEFIt method, but to no avail (won't recognize boot from USB).
    Is it possible to remove the internal hard drive, boot from MacOS (10.5.8) on an external drive, and connect the optical drive to the sATA port where the internal drive was?  Or is there a second sATA port on these logic boards?  Or can I somehow connect the USB optical drive in a way that the iMAC thinks it's internal?  I'm not afraid of digging into the iMAC (changed HDD and Superdrive already).
    Is there anyway to test the pATA connection on my logic board to find out if it's really the problem?  If it's not, maybe I can install WinXP on a second Windows formated drive, to take the space of the internal Superdrive.
    There must be some good ideas out there somewhere.  Barring that, my only other option is to use Parallels and take the performance hit that comes with running a virtual machine.  UGH!

    Actually, when I followed that link, one of the related links in More Like This was a real find!  An actual download of Aperture, albeit a trial, but that would have solved my problem too.  I tested it and although it's embeded in a support article, the link to the trial version of Aperture still works.
    Thanks!  Great info here if you can find it.

  • Installing PSE 9 on new iMac with no CD Drive.

    I bought a new iMac and cannot figure out how to install a new copy of Elements 9. I have a disc that I previously used to install on my Macbook, but now I do not have a Cd drive on my new computer. Tried to transfer the software using an external hard drive but it did not work. Any help?

    First of all this:
    Tried to transfer the software using an external hard drive but it did not work
    Did you try to migrate an installed version of PSE? If so, you have your work cut out for you before you can install it.
    As for the disc, if you have access to another computer, even a windows computer, you can copy the files from the disc to something like a thumb drive and use that. If you're near an Apple Store they will sometimes let you make the copy there.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on Alu iMac with broken disk drive

    The disk drive in my 24" alu iMac is crap and has never worked properly and now wont accept most disks and I've had Snow Leopard for ages but not been able to install it.
    Would this work - I have an old Powerbook G4 1.5ghz with 1.25gb RAM and a fully working superdrive. Could I put the snow leopard disk in that and share the disk to my iMac connecting them with a firewire cable and install this way? (They both have 400 & 800)
    How would I do this?

    Actually, pretty much any iMac later than the second generation iMac G5 ALS (the "Ambient Light Sensor" model) are quite challenging to take apart & put back together without damaging something. Taking apart any of them after the ALS involves removing delicate items held in place by adhesives, removing hard to reach connectors, & so on. Not impossible but definitely not something the average user should try.
    For that reason, I suggest an even more obvious option: instead of paying to have the internal replaced, just buy an external optical drive instead. For instance, Other World Computing offers a lot of them. Although I don't know if it sells outside the U.S. it should give the OP some idea of what's available.

  • To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

    I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing???  So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively?  Is "more" better??? or just over-kill?  And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work?  Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
    I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
    Regards....?
    P.S.  I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz.  When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead.  Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule???  I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

    It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
    Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor
