Can you use Windows 7 OEM on bootcamp

I want to install Windows 7 OEM edition on bootcamp? (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Windows-software-intended-builders/dp/B004Q0PT 3I/) Does anyone have experiance of this working?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You shouldn't have any problem installing that Windows 7 version, as it's general for all PCs, including Macs. The only problem you will have is that you will only be able to use that license with the iMac, and you won't be able to transfer it to another PC

  • Can you use Windows 7 to partition a Boot Camp created drive (not just a PC partition on a Mac drive) into multiple PC partitions?

    Can you use Windows 7 to partition a Boot Camp created dedicated PC drive (not just a PC partition on a Mac drive) into multiple PC partitions?

    Can you download this utility, it is a close equivalent of the gpt command, but has more features? (It is more than likely that Windows took over and converted this to an MBR disk).

    Once you have it installed you run it as follows. You can execute using either /dev/disk1 or /dev/rdisk1 as the parameter.
    type gdisk
    gdisk is /usr/sbin/gdisk
    sudo gdisk /dev/disk0

  • Can you use Windows 7 Support software (drivers) for Windows XP on bootcamp?

    I'm just wondering, I'm installing windows XP on my mac running lion. I don't have my lion install disk but Im able to install 'windows 7 support software' from bootcamp which I put on a usb flash drive. My friend says I can use that for Windows XP drivers but i'd just like to ask here.
    So basically, can I use windows 7 mac drivers for windows XP? If not is there anywhere I can download them?
    THANKS

  • HT3777 Can I use Windows XP in Bootcamp 3/Snow Leopard?

    I have a 27" iMac (I believe it's still the most surrent—bought it late June 2011.
    Parallels and VMWare Fusion have been a pain. Can I use XP or do I have to upgrade and buy a newer version of Windows: Vista or 7?

    Thanks. Read the support article, figured that's what it would say. However, just for the heck of it, I tried installing XP and it worked. Had trouble getting my printer driver for the one program I need to use Windows for (a client has a Windows-only program I need to use) but I fianlly got that done too.
    When I go back to Lion (had MAJOR problems running my Adobe CS5 suite) or Mt. Lion, I know I'll have to upgrade then.
    Until then, I'm good.

  • HP6700 officejet, Can you use non-oem ink cartridges​???

    Hi,  I recently got a new printer last year and I recently purchased some non HP ink cartridges.  I changed the color cartridges, the printer recognized the cartridges and went through the install process.  Everything looked good.  When I go to print, I get an error saying there is non-oem ink cartridges installed.  I click on the info button and it tells me that non-oem ink will void the warranty.  I am fine with that, I just want to be able to print.  Is there any way to get past this or can on only use HP ink in a 6700 officejet printer???
    Thanks

    Hi DocHog,
    Are you unable to print because of an error message the pops up? Try the solution offered by Fratz on this thread. pop-up about Genuine HP Vivera cartridges installed.

  • Can you use windows 7 upgrade disk on late 2011 macbook pro?

    I am new to mac so bear with me please.
    I only have a windows upgrade disk, the bootcamp FAQ page says either full install or upgrade versions of windows 7 will work, but, the manual says only full. can anyone clarify for me please?
    Also, is there a way to get around the fact that to use timemachine backup I need to have a FAT formatted disk? I am coming from windows and have all my media on an external drive and would like to use that drive as my backup drive, but since its not formatted for FAT it cant be used.
    Thanks ahead of time for the help. Just switched and I am liking it so far! Just trying to get windows on here as I use some windows only applications for work.

    Requirements to use Time Machine
    Time Machine is only available with Leopard or later.
    External FireWire or USB 2.0 drive
    Time Capsule
    Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 or later using File Sharing
    Drive shared by a Mac running 10.5 Server
    SAN volume managed by Apple's Xsan file system
    A TM drive must be partitioned with either APM (PPC) or GUID (Intel) and formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • Can i use windows xp in bootcamp

    if it came with moutain lion and only gives you the option for windows 7

    Be aware that all support for XP by Microsoft and Apple through Boot Camp has ceased. That means there aren't likely to be any up to date drivers to install for support of a MacBook Air that came with 10.8.2.
    If you want to run XP natively then get an older MacBook or MacBook Pro. I have XP/sp3 on a 2006 MacBook that works perfectly with older games like Morowind, Half Life, etc. Plus there aren't any CD issues.

  • Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air. In bootcamp i allocate the partition then i click install and bootcamp will not see the disk.

    Can i install windows 7 via bootcamp (on my MB Air) while using remote disc? I put the windows 7 disk in my macbook pro drive, and connect to my brand new macbook air via remote disk. In bootcamp (on my air) i allocate the partition, then i click install, and bootcamp will not see the disk from my macbook pro's drive. How do i get the bootcamp assistant running on my MB air to automatically find the disk in my macbook pro with the ISO image of windows 7? The remote disk on my air can find the cd but bootcamp will not begin installing it. Anyway to do this without buying the damned usb drive?

    I don't know first hand if you can use the Remote Disk option with Windows but as of 10.7.2 you can now use BCAssistant to make a bootable USB (thumb drive or external disk) W7 installer with the Boot Camp drivers installed also. Have you tried that yet?

  • Can I use an OEM Windows 7 64bit with Boot Camp?

    I would like to put Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my Mountain Lion 10.8.3 system using Boot Camp 5.  Can I use an OEM version of Windows or not?

    You can, but it's illegal. A OEM version is designed to be installed on a new computer, not on a computer with an existing operating system, so you can install Windows from there but you should know that's illegal, so Apple doesn't support it. To do this legally, you have to get a full Windows 7 disc version and use it to install Windows.
    If you need the steps to install Windows on the MacBook, read > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • 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.

  • I have installed nvidia graphics drivers on windows 7 (bootcamp) now i can't use windows, it's just a black screen, how do i resolve this?

    I have installed nvidia drivers from nvidias website for my geforce gt 650m on my early 2013 macbook pro retina 15", now i can't use windows in bootcamp, whenever i go into windows it turns into a black screen before i can see my desktop. How do i resolve this?

    From the home screen, double click the home button to bring up the Recently used App list. Find the App with the problem and hold your finger on it untl the Apps start to shake. When that happens tap on the (x) on the right side corner of the app to close it.
    Tap the home button again to get back to the home screen, and try to open the App again.
    If that doesn't work, try resetting the iPad. (there should be no data loss):
    Press and Hold the Power and home buttons until the Apple Logo shows up. Ignore any sliders that may appear.
    When the iPad turns back on, try opening the App again.
