I am not interested to install it through Parallels or Fusion. Plz guide.

OK, use Windows 8 in Bootcamp. Be aware that there are no Bootcamp drivers for Windows 8 yet. So you may experiance not only delays but display problems, freezing, crashes and other problems.
Here is the Bootcamp forum. Make sure you read all the posts from people experiencing Windows 8 problems with Bootcamp. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

Upgrade Windows 8.1 to Pro Issue

I am trying to upgrade my Windows 8.1 machine to pro. I am doing this via DVD and product key I purchased. When I try to perform the upgrade the only option I get when I am asked, "Choose what you want to keep" is nothing. I would like to keep
everything and don't understand why I can't.

Hi,
What DVD did you buy? It seems that you got the full Windows 8.1 pro. If so, we cannot use it to upgrade to Windows 8.1 pro, besides clean installation.
To upgrade Windows 8.1 to pro version, we just need to buy the Windows 8.1 pro pack:
Windows 8.1 Pro Pack
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8.1-Pro-Pack/productID.288392300
Then, we can follow these steps to do the upgrade, and we may not lose anything:
Right click This PC -> Properties -> Get more features with a new edition of Windows -> I already have a product key
Then, type the key you bought, and restart the computer.
Hope this could be helpful.

How to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard

how to upgrade windows small business server 2011 essentials to windows small business server 2011 standard(OEM system Builder Pack)?

Hi,
Based on my experience, there is no upgrade path for OEM licensing. In addition, only SBS 2008 Standard can upgrade to SBS 2011 Standard, and there is no path to so
that from SBS 2011 Essentials. I am sorry to say that you may need a migration instead of an upgrade.
Best regards,

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook Pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6. Can watch the video, but can't get it to import.

We are having old home movies put on DVD's. How do we import them to MacBook pro using Snow Leopard and iMovie 8.0.6? Can watch the movies on the laptop, but they will not import.

We took 3 video cassette 8mm that were recorded in the early 90's to a place that burned the videos onto 3 DVDs. When inserted to our Mac, the DVD player comes on to play the DVD. Opened Quicktime, but can find no way to import. Went to File>Open File>Sony_DVD_Recorder_Volume. Clicked on Sony_DVD-Recorder_Volume and it shows a file named VIDEO_TS. Clicked on that and 6 files showed VIDEO_TS.BUP, VTS_01-0.BUP, VTS_01_0.IFO, VTS-01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB. Where is DVDxDV?

i have windows 8 DVD and i would like to have a clear instructions on how to install windows 8. I dont understand the need for USB

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You need a USB drive to install the Windows support software. It contains all the drivers that your MacBook Pro needs, and you will have to install them after finishing the Windows installation. If you don't install them, a lot of things won't work: the wireless card, the sound card, the brightness, the trackpad gestures... Apart from that, you don't need it for anything else.
Apple has released the official steps to install Windows 8 on a Mac, so if you want, print this PDF > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

How to upgrade Windows 7 64 bit to windows 8.1 ?

Hello,
I have HP Notebook PC which i purchased as DOS based machine before 5 months. Currently i have windows 7 64 bit version operating system. Now i want to upgrade my laptop with windows 8.1 operating system. So how can i upgrade my windows 7 64 bit machine to windows 8.1. ? Also i am only able to format C: drive. So is their any way to upgrade windows 7 based laptop to widows 8.1 without affecting other drives?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Read through these two useful documents to know about upgrade paths, possibilities, limitations:
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2234-upgrade-install-windows-8-windows-8-1-a.html
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-from-windows-7-tutorial
Make sure that your HP support website has all the necessary drivers compatible with Windows 8.1 before proceeding with upgrade/clean install of any sort. This determines if HP support Windows 8.1 in your model.

How to istall windows 7 on macbook pro 15"?

i did it but win 7 did not see superdrive , airport , graphic card !!

Hi Bola,
You'll need to install the hardware drivers once you've installed Windows. If you reinsert the OS X installation DVD when running Windows this will automatically initialize the Boot Camp Drivers installer.

Upgrade path to 8.1 pro using windows 8 pro keys

Hi,
I have a windows 8 pro upgrade license which I bought when windows 8 was launched and have been unable to use it on my existing computer. I would like to use this license on a new computer and want to know what is the correct version of Windows Complete
Install to buy.
One option for me is to buy Windows 7 Home complete install then upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and eventually to Windows 8.1 Pro through the windows store. This is too tedious instead can I buy Windows 8.1 Home and use the Windows 8 Pro keys to upgrade it
to Windows 8.1 Pro directly?
Please advise on the correct version of complete Windows to be bought so I can take advantage of my Windows 8 Pro license.
Best regards,
Jai

Hi Jai
I suggest you to follow upgrade path using your Window 8 pro upgrade license since you already bought it
And I suggest also check whether this PC ready to upgrade to Windows 8.1, you can check using upgrade assistance to check if there is compatibility SW or device before you upgrade
There is 2 method for upgrade to Windows 8.1
1. buy upgrade key
2. buy DVD
Regarding upgrade key or buy the DVD, I suggest contact retailer or Microsoft sales

is not supported. If you do that, you will receive the error message below(Figure 1) in Compatibility report:

Produces

Manger and select “Remove Roles and Features” to start the
Remove Roles and Features Wizard.
2) In Features,
uncheck the box next to the “User Interfaces and Infrastructure” option, and then click “Next”. (Figure 5)

Now tick the “Restart the destination Server automatically if required” box, then click “Remove”. (Figure 6)
Figure 6.
Method 2: Using Windows PowerShell
There are multiple ways to remove the GUI via Windows PowerShell, we introduce the way of using the ServerManager module.
You can also run the commands in Windows PowerShell with an administrator to remove the GUI feature:
“Import-Module ServerManager”
“Uninstall-Windowsfeature Server-Gui-Shell –Restart”
or
“Uninstall-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart”
It will take a period of time to remove the GUI feature and reboot. When the system boots up, you will get into the Windows Server 2012 with Server Core mode. (Figure 7)

How Much Power Is My Mac Book Pro Using?

How much much power is my mac book pro using when it is closed and the power chord is plugged in? This is bugging the crap out of me because my dad keep making me unplug once im done. He claims its costing 7 bucks a month. I think that is bogus (remember this is when the laptop is closed). anyone have any answers?

I guess you could look at the info printed on your power adapter. Normally you'll see the output voltage and current values. Multiplying the two together will give you the power consumption of the computer (in watts) while it's plugged in. For example my Macbook says "16.5V and 3.65A" so it's about 60 Watts. For a MB Pro, my bet is around 80w. Looks like your dad did do his math to come up with that 7 bucks a month,:), but the pre-assumption is that you had it on 24/7, which i doubt. If you dad bought this MBP for you, you might wanna ask him why would he care the mere $7 after spending about $2000 on the thing.:)
