How can I install windows 8.1 on my macbook pro late 2013?

I bought a new Macbook pro 15" late 2013 and i want to install windows 8.1 on it. I tried several times but it always says me that windows cannot be installed on the partition that i made with bootcamp assistant.
Thank you for your answers

You can install Windows 8.1 using Boot Camp Assistant or by using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
The Boot Camp Guides are located here: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
The Boot Camp Discussion Community is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
Help for Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox can be found at their respective sites.

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

  • How can I install Windows 7 by USB? MacBook late 2008 10.6.8 Boot Camp 3.0.4

    Someone please help...
    I have tried software update and no luck. I think my Boot Camp on Mac 3.0.4 is not showing me the right option on creating a USB installation. It asks me to load Windows 7 CD when I don't have it, I bought it online... Every download I tried from Apple is .exe and I am losing hope on this one...

    You can only install Windows from a USB with one of these Macs:
    - MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    - Mac mini (Mid 2010 and later).
    - iMac (Late 2012).
    - MacBook Air.
    If you bought Windows in Internet and you got it in a ISO image, you can burn it into a DVD. Simply double-click the ISO image, open Disk Utility, right-click the ISO image in the sidebar and burn it

  • Can't install windows 8.1 on 2015 MacBook pro

    I'm trying to install windows 8.1 with boot camp and this is the message I keep getting. I've tried several times and every time I get this. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro. I've tried installing from a usb with ISO and also from a oem windows dvd. Any help would be appreciated. 

    First, make a time machine backup. You will need to erase ands reformat your hard drive. I had the same issue. The issue is that you can't install Windows using bootcamp without having the hard drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Do this from disk utility or recovery mode (hold down command and r at startup). Then you have to restore the backup to the hard drive. Then make a usb installer drive with bootcamp and then partition and install. Here's a tip: after you install bootcamp and are in the Windows desktop, go into the installer drive and then go into the bootcamp or support folder, then find a installer that contains the Apple bootcamp drivers. Also, you will need to convert the disk to an iso file. TO MAKE THE USB DRIVE FROM A DISC, USE THIS LINK

  • Can I install Windows 7 in 13-inch MacBook Pro (2.7 ghz Dual Core i-7) without problem

    Can I install Windows 7 without any trouble in Macbook Pro (2.7 Ghz Dual Core I-7) ?

    Since I always look at Windows as a problem, I would have to say no.
    But if you must then you need to create a partition with Boot Camp in which to install your copy of Windows 7. The Core I7 doesn't support XP or Vista.

  • How do I install Windows Vista on my New Macbook Pro

    I need to use DOS for work to fill out reports for my organization. I have the newest 15.4 macbook pro with intel core 2 duo. I want to know the exact steps to install windows vista on my computer?? please help me.

    It depends on what you want to use Windows for, are you going to work mainly in Windows or OSX? Will you need to cross between the two and if so will restarting your computer be a pain?
    I use Paralles, a copy of that is around $75 as far as I can remember.
    Personally I had a copy of Windows XP so that was the first Windows OS I used with Paralles, then Vista came out so I though I would get a copy as it was supposed to be * the * Windows OS, when I installed Vista I was so dissapointed with it. I would go as far as say it is one of the ugliest OS's I have seen, I actually prefer XP, it's like the old space programs when you look at the sets, they made an effort but you can see the budget was low, it looks like a really poor effort at copying OSX but they didn't spend the money on doing it right.
    Anyway, I just use XP so Vista for me was a waste of money. XP works faster and is more intuitive than Vista 'If Windows can be intuative that is'.
    I also read out there that security in Vista isn't what it is cracked up to be.
    Hope this helps.

    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
         1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows
             XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  For Boot Camp
             4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
             instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
             installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
             installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the
             computer into OS X or Windows.
         2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
             Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software
             virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
             with OS X.
         3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
             or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that
             enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
         4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
             applications without having to install Windows.  The
             Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
         5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
             as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
             It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
             Fusion.
    Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Can I install windows XP and Ubuntu in macbook pro ? (without using virtual machine )

    Hi,
    I am planning to buy new Apple Macbook Pro with i5 processor , 2.4 GHZ , 500GB HDD , 4GB RAM.
    I want to know can I install ubuntu and windows XP on this Mac ?
    I don't want to use VMWare (virtual machine) software to install these OS.
    When system boots It should shows the options, which OS to open ?
    is it possible to run and perform well 3 OS (including Mac) . or it will affect something ?

    Two, yes, but not three.
    head to you know Ubuntu support forum and see what they are up to, they might be able to guide you.
    Do you use a Mac or will this be a first?
    XP is EOL I am sure you know and no more patches or support, and with new Sandy Bridge and later motherboaords, lack of true support for SSDs often used in laptops... dying.

  • How can I install Mavericks on a gifted 2011 MacBook Pro?

    My brother gifted me his late 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X Lion.
    I booted with command+r, launched the Disk Utility, and erased the disk.  I closed Disk Utility and selected "Reinstall Mac OS X."  The machine tells me that it needs to verify my computer's eligibility before it will download and restore Mac OS X, presumably because Lion was not free like Mavericks.  It then fails and says that it could not find installation information for the machine.
    Would it be possible for me to download the Mavericks install on an external hard drive, plug the external drive into the machine, and just install Mavericks using my Apple ID?  If so, what would be the steps to do this?
    Thanks

    Also, where on my machine does a full Mavericks install image download to when I download it from the App Store?

  • Installing windows 8.1 on new mac pro (late 2013)

    Greetings,
    First time poster so forgive me if I mess up protocol.
    I'm trying to install Window 8.1 on my new late 2013 Mac Pro via bootcamp.
    I have followed all the steps in bootcamp and the installation fails saying "cannot update boot configuration". 
    I tried using a few methods I saw people on here had success with creating their own partitions with disk utility, but I still have not had success. 
    My system is the 6 core version, 16gb RAM, 512gb flash storage, D500 graphics cards
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the same problem with my brand new MacPro (6-Core, D700, 1tb SSD)
    I have called Apple support to report this issue, in the mean time I've done the following tests:
    Windows 7/8 tests NO Joy...
    I have also tried tricking the windows 8 installer by doing the following.
    1)Boot of Windows 8 installation (USB)
    2)At the setup screen it will ask you to format your boot camp created drive to NTFS so that windows can be installed.
    After the formatting is done and windows is ready to install i swap the Windows 8 USB stick for a Windows 7 USB stick then I click on next.
    3)Windows starts copying the files just like it did on the Windows 8 installation and I get the same error.
    "Can't update boot configuration"
    I guess it has nothing to do with the Windows USB Stick since I've tried installing Win 7/8 and 8.1 with the exact same error.
    I have not received any news from Apple support on this issue.
    Any other ideas or suggestions ?
    Thanks!

  • How can I install Office 2008 on my new MacBook Pro Retina?

    I have a license key and a cd to install from, but no slot in my MacBook to insert the CD into. I heard I can download Office 2008 from the Microsoft website, can anyone supply me with a link to the download? Not the30-day trial, the full version. Can anyone tell me if Office 2008 will work on the Retina display because I've read reviews about how it didn't in the past and should now (thanks to updates).

    Office 2008 will work with Mountain Lion, but it isn't retina compatible and would probably be too much strain on the eyes to work with. Purchase Office 2011 or Pages. LibreOffice is free and may be retina compatible, but I personally have never used it.
    If you are willing to install 2008 and give it a try then just download the trial and then you can upgrade the trial to the full version using the license key you have.

  • Can't install OS X Mavericks, Ive a MacBook Pro "Late 2011"

    When I click install app for OS X Mavericks in the App Store, the button changes to downloading but in the launchpad where the mavericks logo icon appears, shows a progress bar with maybe 1% complete and thats all, it never changes even after 3 hours.
    Any suggestions to  fix this?

    Check to make sure the download hasn't paused. You should be able to do this in the dock. If it hasn't paused, try pausing it and then resume.
