Can i install windows 7 64bit on my mac

I have 16gb of Ram installed on my iMac and Windows 7 installed amd it is only using 2.23gb of it, and it is very anoying. I need to know if I can install 64 bit eddition Windows 7 on it before I go out and spend the money on it.

Yes, isn't the 64bit version on the same set of disks with the 32 bit version, mine did.
64 bit can address the more RAM, as you likely know now.

check out your upgrade anytime or where oyu got your Win t 32 bit, your licensed ot use the 64 bit version with the same key perhaps?

    It will never run in OS X. You need to install Windows on your machine.

  • How can I install windows 8 on a mac without superdrive?

    Hi there.
    I have an old Macbook pro (early 2007) which is still quite good, except from the superdrive which got broken.
    I would like to completely wipe out OSX (Lion) from that and install Windows 8 instead.
    Problem is, I cannot install it from optical drive, since it's broken (and plus, I don't have access to an external drive).
    Is it even possible to install windows 8 from USB on this computer? If so, what should I do?
    Thank you!

    You can only install Windows from an external disc drive or an USB drive in one of these computers:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - MacBook Air.
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
    As you don't have any of these computers, you need the SuperDrive to install Windows 8. In your case, you have to install a SuperDrive in your MacBook Pro in order to install Windows by using Boot Camp

  • Can I install windows 8 on my mac without any previous versions of windows

    I am planning on installing windows on my mac.(Never done that before).
    As I am in my final year of my degree I need to use a lot of softwares only available for windows.
    My only concern is that will I be able to install Windows 8 (as its the latest version) without any older versions on my Mac?
    Or any alternatives?

    Thanks Csound1 and Allan Eckert.
    I will take note of this.
    I can wait however long it takes for windows 8 to be supported by boot camp.

  • HT3986 Can I install windows 7 on my mac book pro via a download or must it be done via a cd/DVD drive?

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • How can I install Window server2008R2SP2-x64 on mac mini?

    A great number op people claim to have installed windows server 2008 on their mac mini.
    I have tried a number of VM ware applications to do this but so far without success.
    No matter which application I try (bootcamp, virtual box, fusion etc., it just seems impossible to select the file
    that I need to install in the created partition.
    Does someone have a working procedure on this?

    I doubt it's possible. But see:

  • How can I install Windows on my new Mac?

    This question sounds simple, but I am going nuts. I got this MacBook Pro recently, and I need Windows (to run ArcGIS 10). I know it can be done, and in fact is very common. However, I'm stuck.
    Here are the problems:
    - Only Windows 8.1 is currently available from Microsoft
    - According to Apple, 8.1 cannot be installed on a Mac
    - My download from Microsoft included only a small .exe file, not an ISO
    - I don't have a CD drive. Just an 8 gigabyte USB thumb drive.
    - I don't care what version of Windows I get. If there's some way to get 7, that's fine.
    So what do I do? How do I buy a copy of Windows that will work? How do I download it so that Boot Camp can use it? Hasn't this been done millions of times? I was on the phone with Apple for over an hour, and with Microsoft three times. No one can help. Can you?
    Thanks!

    your best bet is to download virtualbox and install it that way
    though if it's an exe it's not a full version but and upgrade so you need to install a full version in the
    virtualbox first

  • Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

    Hey guys and girls...
    Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

    WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
    Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
    Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
    Or run the install from Windows 7.
    In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
    Main idea is to have some network attached drives.

    I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
    It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
    Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
    I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

For flight change. My luggage got lost and I had to leave for India. On reaching I waited for 6 days daily going to the Mumbai airport and enquiry but now I am stuck I can't work using windows software s for designing engg.
    Can someone tell me a better way how can I install windows if I don't have the driver CDs?
    Thanks in advance.  Sb sob sob
    Pl. help. Thanks

    Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then use Boot Camp Assistant. One of the Boot Camp Assistant menu items is download the Windows Support Software (drivers). Make sure you follow the Boot Camp instructions.
    Or, Reinstall OSX using the online recovery.
    Then install a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. Then install Windows in the virtual machine.
    You can use either Boot Camp or a virtual machine to install Windows. Neither method requires any driver cds.

  • Can I install Windows 8 on an older Mac Pro with Mavericks upgrade?

    I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro which I just upgraded to Mavericks, which came with Boot Camp 5.1. Can I install Windows 8 on my machine? The information on this site suggests I can only use Windows 7 with Boot Camp 4 on my system, but does this take an upgraded OS into account? Put another way, is the version compatibility determined only by my OS, or also by my hardware (processor, memory, etc.). This is the first time I will be using Boot Camp to install Windows on this machine.

    no, it is determined mainly by machine type then by requisite driver support in the OSX
    officially, x64 w7 is as far as you can go but google around, i'm sure there have been people who got w8 to work

  • Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

    Can I install Windows 8 (DEMO) on a MAC and play windows based games ?

    I installed the Developer beta with Bootcamp Assistant yesterday and was very impressed with the ease of the installation. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is a problem with my video BIOS on my Macbook Air, but Windows 8 installs with two screens split horizontally - so it's effectively useless.
    I tried 3 times and gave up. The same thing happens with Linux distributions, however with Linux I can pass "nomodeset" on the kernel command line which fixes it. I don't know how to do that in Windows.
    This was happening with both 64x and 32-bit Win8 fwiw.
    Oh, also...when I was trying to play around with Bootcamp.exe inside Windows 8, I remember a message popping up saying Bootcamp is only configurable with Windows 7 ISOs. But aside from the kernel graphics issues and some driver compatibility problems, Bootcamp loaded the Win8 ISOs fine.

  • Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

    Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
    The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
    For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
    If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.
