Can I use a digital download of Windows 8.1 to install Windows in the Windows partition created in Boot Camp or do I need the Windows 8.1 DVD physical copy to do the Windows 8.1 installation?

Windows 8.1 installation on MacBook Pro

Hi,
I used a digital copy of Windows 8.1 to install it through Boocamp. It was the MSDN version of Win 8.1.
Best regards,

  • Can you use a digital download of Windows 7 with Bootcamp?

    I want to install Windows 7 on my Mac (OSX 10.6.8), but I don't want to go out and buy a disc.
    Is it possible to use a digital download if I have the proper registration codes, etc?

    That's a pretty typical price (and actually about the lowest I've ever found) for a full install version. The upgrade disks can easily be found under $95, but won't install without access to a previous version. MS does not sell their OS cheap.
    You can find copies for somewhat less on ebay, but you have to be very selective. Many are full version copies, but were only meant to be sold with a computer bundle, so there's no guarantee they'll work on all systems. Also very many where the package has been opened. You don't want those. The serial number has already been used, or written down by the seller. Such ads will state things like the serial number has been de-authorized. Bull! You can't do that with Windows. The serial number is tagged to the computer it was installed on. There is no uninstall or any way to de-authorize or transfer the serial number.

    Hi halb10567672,
    You can download the setup file again from this Link (Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X ) and Burn it to a DVD Disc using Windows Explorer.
    Please revert back for any further query or assistance.

  • How to back up a Windows partition created in Boot Camp in Lion.

    Hello. I have Lion installed and I already had Windows 7 installed aswell. I used boot camp. Boot Camp booted Win. 7 just fine. Then, yesterday, I tried to boot into Win. 7 and all that apeared was a Black screen with a dash in the upper left hand corner blinking. I let it sit like that for 30 minutes. I eventually lost patients and held the power button for 5 sec and booted back into Lion. I have many files in Windows 7 that I need. I have no backup of Win 7 but I do have a backup through Time Machine of when it was working. My main Question is this, when I'm in Lion, how can I back up my Windows files and make a bootable image out of it so I can reinstall it through bootcamp. I need to keep my files and there is no chance of me restoring from a past Time Machine backup as I need all of my files on Lion aswell. Oh, BTW, im using a 2011 Mac Book Pro with all the latest updates. Any help is apreciated. Thanks!

  • Does restoring a computer back to a certain date in time remove the Windows partition created by Boot Camp?

    If I'm wanting to restore my computer back to a certain date in time using a TM backup, will it remove my Windows partition? For example, say I choose to restore back to a date when I did not have the Windows partition on the computer, does it remove the partition, or does it keep it on the computer since it's a separate partition?

    I didn't say TM could use an MS-DOS partition. I just said "You can't really state that "Windows partition is invisible to TM", since a Windows XP partition could be formatted MS-DOS, and thus is not invisible to TM." I am right. You shouldn't make blanket statements that are not true.

    Natively, a Mac can read Windows formatted iPod so a windows formatted iPod can be used on both Mac and Windows machined.
    But natively a Windows machine can not read a Mac formatted iPod without $$$ 3rd party software. Therefore, a Mac formatted iPod can only be natively used on a Mac computer.

  • Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time.

    Can you use Time Capsule on a windows and 2 macs at the same time as either a backup for one and a seperate HD drive for two?

    Yes.
    From one viewpoint the Time Capsule is just NAS (Networked Attached Storage) and it supports the file sharing protocols necessary for both Windows and Macs.
    From the viewpoint of the Macs it can also be used by Time Machine for backups.
    As NAS it can be used for storing files, and there are many backup software packages that support NAS on both Windows and Macs.
    In addition from a networking point of view it can serve as a router, wireless access point etc.

  • Can I use iTunes to download iOS 8.0.2 once and then install on multiple new iPhone 5S we have at work?

    Can I use iTunes to download iOS 8.0.2 once and then install on multiple new iPhone 5S we have at work?
    Our 30 new iPhone 5S came with iOS 7.1.1. 

    The fact that the OS requires 3.8GB of storage is ridiculous to begin with.  Especially when they know there are a ton of 16GB models out there.  Clearly another big brother attempt by Apple to force new iPhone sales which amazes me beyond description.  If I experience pain with a product, I'm not going to buy another one and "hope" the problems go away.  I'm going to buy a competitor's product.  Apparently the lemmings keep following the herd or Apple couldn't continue these strong arm tactics.  I'll stay on iOS 6.x until I'm ready for a new phone then...by another manufacturer.
