Can I use 64-bit Windows 7 on an Early 2008 iMac?

According to the official support page, 32-bit Windows 7 is supported, but I have seen listings elsewhere that this machine meets Microsoft's specs for 64-bit Windows 7 "with the correct drivers" and that people hve successfully installed and run 64-bit Windows 7
I am on 10.8 and used Boot Camp 4 to create a "drivers" install DVD.  Will this contain the drivers for 64-bit Windows?  How can I install it on this Mac?

The following should answer your question: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846????Boot Camp- Macs that work with 64-bit editions of Windows 7/Vista.

  • Can I install windows on my early 2008 iMac?

    I really want to get a software called Training Peaks running on my early 2008 iMac, but it appears that I can no longer get a version of Windows which is compatible.
    Is this correct? Is there a way around the problem?

    Compatible version of Windows for your Mac or for that software you want to run on Windows.
    You can install Windows 7 using Boot Camp or you could install a virtual machine software program and install Windows XP into a Virtual Machine. But you would need a retail or System Builders copy of either XP or 7 to do either of those installs.

  • Can i use 32 bit windows 7 for boot camp?

    I recently purchased a 15 inch mbp retina display and wanted to use boot camp to install windows 7 on it. I accidentally purchased 32 bit instead of 64 bit.  will this still work?

    the apple drivers only comes in 64bit so it would be like running windows in safe mode in terms of drivers

  • How can you use symbols in Windows 7 on a IMac 27

    How can you use symbols @$€%£¥ in Windows 7 on a IMac 27 mid 2011?  I tried what was normally done on Windows and got nothing.  Alt plus numbers and nothing happens, what am I missing?

    Frosted Flake,
    Are you referring to an equivalent to the Windows Character Map Application (charmap.exe) that allowed you to see the various characters available in each font, and then give you an ALT-nnn number you could key to use the character you wanted ?
    If so you can use the Special Characters from the Edit menu of most applications. Once you have located the character/symbol you want double click it and it will be entered wherever you cursor is located in your application.

  • Make a presentation with videos that can be used on a Windows PC.

    I need to make a presentation that can be projected from a PC using Windows. I am using Keynote 09, and some of my "slides" are short videos in m4v format. How can I burn the presentation onto a CD so the CD can be used by a Windows PC?

    He can't upload new photos for BannerZest as they have to be added to the application and included in the script.
    Its possible for him to upload movies and slideshows to a folder on the server so that you can provide a hyperlink to the movie on the website so that it opens and plays in a new browser window.

  • 64-bit Windows 7 on late 2009 iMacs only?

    In the Boot Camp Install-Setup documentation I read:
    You can use a version of Windows Vista or Windows 7
    with any of these Mac computers:
    - A Mac Pro or MacBook Pro introduced in early 2008 or later
    - An iMac or MacBook introduced in late 2009 or later
    Is this true?
    Is it really not possible to use 64-bit Windows 7 on a late 2008 iMac?
    (Why...?)
    Thanks.

    Generic, yes, but didn't take into account EFI64 (UEFI 2.x) req'd to native boot a 64-bit DVD of Vista SP1 or later. Apple has a list of those that are supported (actually, a list of UN-supported).

    +Vista users who tried to perform an upgrade to Windows 7 were experiencing an error at exactly 62% of the update.+
    Windows performed an automatic rollback to Windows Vista at this point leaving the user puzzled and confused. Some users even experienced an endless reboot problem which would initiate the upgrade process again only to fail again at 62%.
    Vista user needs to click on the Fix-It button on the Microsoft support website after the upgrade failed at 62% to fix the issue and initiate the upgrade again.

  • Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit on Early 2008 iMac - No CD/DVD Driver error

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 64-bit on my early 2008 iMac and its failing at the point after I click "Start Install" in the Windows 7 installation.
    Its complaining that I don't have the required CD/DVD drivers, and prompts me to insert a disk/usb drive. Well, I can't find a way to eject the Win7 disk.
    Is there a way around this? Or am I going to have to install Win7 32-bit? Will my licence for the 64-bit version work with a 32-bit version instead??
    Thanks

    Hi
    You dont need to change the booting order in BIOS.
    You can boot from CD/DVD drive using another way
    Press F12 after notebook has powered up
    Then a boot menu should appear there you should choose the ODD as booting device and should press ENTER.
    This would enable the booting from CD/DVD drive
    You can also press the C button immediately after notebook has powered up this should enable CD/DVD drive as well.!

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

    Yes, if you use an application like Genie Timeline Pro, which was designed for this type of purpose.  Genie Timeline will make a complete copy of your Dell on the first backup. After that, it will only backup the changes that have occurred since the last backup.
