HT5639 Apple, you write windows 8.1 is not supported in Boot camp 5.

Do you know when it will be then?
Thanks in advance.

We are users like you. Apple will not see this. Send feedback:
Hmm, The Apple site has no place to submit BootCamp feedback, so I will just link to the generic iMac page:

  • Intel vt-x not supported on boot camp windows 7 (virtualbox and microsoft detection tool)

    Hello,
    I've a MBP mid-2010 that is running a Windows 7 Pro as boot camp partition (business needs).
    I've installed virtualbox on the Windows 7 OS, but I can't access the "accelration" tab under the system settings.
    When running an imported OVA system (that uses Intel VT-x) I get an error message saying :
    "VT-x/AMD-V hardware acceleration is not available on your system. Your 64-bit guest will fail to detect a 64-bit CPU and will not be able to boot."
    Using the Microsoft® Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool, I get the confirmation that it is not available on my computer.
    Which is really strange because it is working perfectly under Mac Os X Mavericks (and previous).
    Anyone has an idea ?
    Regards,
    Franck.

    I have this exact same issue, except I'm trying to use Hyper-V in Windows 8.1. Windows is running via Bootcamp 5, I have a late 2013 Macbook pro model.
    I get the error message Hyper-V cannot be installed: Virtualization support is disabled in the firmware.
    After poking around online, most information points to the Mac EFI firmware. It might be an update is available there that will help with VT-X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237
    However, there's no update for my particular Macbook. I've only found one workaround that I don't really know how/why it works.
    1. Power off my macbook, completely shut down.
    2. Hold the option key to boot into OSX Mavericks instead of Windows.
    3. Restart from OSX and let Windows boot by default.
    For some odd reason, VT-X is now enabled. This may be specific to my Mac. It's a Macbook Pro 2013, 15'' - '11,3' model.

    When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5? I have a new Mac book Pro 2013 and cannot install. Do I return the Windows version and try to download 8.0, or wait it out until it is supported? New to Mac's.
    Apple please advise.

    Apple does not respond in these forums except occasionally an Apple employee will stop by. If you want to contact Apple, use the contact us link at the bottom of this page.
    With respect to your question "When will Windows 8.1 be supported on Boot camp 5?" you are asking us to speculate as to when Apple will release their drivers supporting Windows 8.1. We do not know, and we can not speculate as to when. From the terms of use of this forum:
    "Unless otherwise noted, do not add Submissions about nontechnical topics, including:

    Try the Boot Camp Assistant when you are in OS X and download those and follow the directions in BCA utility.
    Then look up the Boot Camp forum. I suspect you thought this was MBP related forum, it is for 65 lb tower model (and well the new "nMP Late 2013 Mac Pro" http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/

  • Windows 7 - Blue screen of death after Boot Camp install

    Hello! I have done some searches with no answers, so...
    After installing Windows 7 from scratch I then install Boot Camp 3.0 which then leads to the Windows blue screen of death upon reboot. I then have to recover Windows to the previous state prior to installing Boot Camp.
    Help!?

    Most likely, Apple HFS read-only, which is AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys - rename those and see.
    You might want to run chkdsk after all this to make sure there are no errors with the drive and file system.
    Windows Explorer will not accept HFS+ filenames with special characters and will "green bar" and hang when it does, too.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern.
    Rename AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys
    By doing the following you will disable HFS mount / read mode on windows XP, Vista, 7.
    Navigate to c:/windows/system32/drivers/AppleMNT.sys, rename the AppleMNT.sys file to something like AppleMNT_keep.sys or something of your likings.
    The faulty HFS driver is a valid concern. It seems to happen on many systems.
    You find it in Windows/system32/drivers/AppleHFS.sys
    Renaming to AppleHFS_disabled.sys will avoid the blue screens until you have found another solution or Apple updates Bootcamp 3
    After renaming both myself because they are no longer "*.sys" or something? they are gone. In my case AppleHFS prevented Windows Backup from running to end and was causing error "some files skipped" and while some might find reading convenient, I prefer Windows not have even read-only access.
    You can probably do better with MacDrive, or probably Paragon's HFS driver, to read AND write if needed, to HFS from Windows.

    Burn this image file (.iso) to a USB drive or DVD-R:
    USB drive:
    Get a blank USB drive with 8 GB+ capacity
    Format this drive to Fat32 (Windows and Mac shared format), this will erase the drive!:
    Finder > Applications > Utitilies > Disk Utility > Partition > 1 > Fat32
    Extract the image file to the drive exposing its files:
    Finder > Applications > Utilites > Boot Camp Assistant
    Click both "Create a Win 7 or later version install disk" and "Download the latest windows support software from Apple" and advance
    Locate your image (iso) file, example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
    Destination disk is your USB flash drive that was formatted to fat32, if it does not appear it may be in the wrong format
    Click continue, this process takes a long time (30 mins - 1.5 hour estimated), it may appear that it is freezing because progress bar stops at times, do not stop it, let it keep running.  If you are unsure it is still going, open finder > click the drive > get info, and look at the size of the files.  Then close finder wait a few seconds, get info again and see that file size is slightly larger.  The final file size was 4+ GB for me
    or DVD-R:
    I have not used a DVD-R but this is how I expect it to work:
    Insert black DVD-R
    Finder > Applications > Utitilies > Disk Utility > Burn
    Locate your image (iso) file, example: /Users/Christoper/Downloads/X17-58997.iso.download/X17-58997.iso
    Partition HD for WIndows 7:
    Finder > Applications > Utilites > Boot Camp Assistant
    Choose the 3rd option Install Windows 7
    It will ask you to select a size of your Harddrive space for Windows OS, this will eat up some of the free space on your Mac HD.  How much space is enough for a Windows OS?  Depends on how many programs you plan to install on it.  If you are just using for surfing web and running MS Office, probably 30-40 GB is enough, and this is what I did.  Remember this space will be used up from your existing HD and not usable when you are in Mac OS.  This process takes about 10 mins I think
    Install Win 7 OS:
    With USB drive in port or DVD in drive, restart laptop. 
    It will bring up the Win 7 installer on boot up
    Select the OS type that you have a registered key for
    It will ask you to find a HD to use for Win 7 OS:
    Select the HD you just created, if you try to continue it will complain that HD is wrong format (because MAC formatted it to a MAC compatible HD, we will fix this)
    Select the HD, there is a button to the right for "advanced" I believe is the text of it.  It will allow you to reformat the drive, choose NTFS which it requires.  Then proceed
    Proceed to setup Win with your preferences
    Type product key from your OS purchase or an existing one that you are moving from another machine
    Select Default Boot Drive:
    By default it selects Windows as your default OS to boot at power up, most people want Mac OSX to be the default, so this can be changed:
    Finder > System Preferences > Startup Disk > select Mac
    Enjoy having Windows on your Mac!

    Why use Boot Camp: Sometimes you need to run a windows only program.  Boot Camp lets you do that with the speed and smoothness of a full windows OS. 
    How is it different from Mac Virtual Machine: A VM allows you to run another OS simultaneously while you are running OSX, while in a window similar to any other application.  A VM is not as fast, smooth, and may have limited screensize/view.   
    Is it possible to have a VM and Boot Camp: Yes, and I do this because sometimes I want to use a VM quickly without shutting down, sometimes I want the advantages of Boot Camp
    How do I get Windows in VM: how-to here:

  • Frozen Windows 7 install at DOS cursor with Boot Camp 5.0

    Hello,  I am installing windows 7 (32 bit) on a mid 2012 Mac Book Air (13 in) using install version of windows 7 DVD from external superdrive and boot camp 5.0.  After boot camp partitions I go to a black screen with blinking DOS cursor and nothing happens, no disc sound, nothing.  I have installed windows 7 with older boot camp and macs with no problems.  I am running OS 10.8.2
    Thanks for any help.

    I tried a third time (boot camp requires you to revome the windows partition before you can re-install).  For some reason after the third attempt at installing from boot camp it finally worked. 
    BTW, I am using an apple USB superdrive and I tried the option key to boot from the Windows partition and it went into the dos screen and the error message was no bootable media or something. 
    Thanks for your help.

  • Windows 7 Start-Up Sound deleted after Boot Camp 3.2 Update

    Hello,
    i´ve installed Windows 7 on my MacBook. Than i have updated my Boot Camp Software from 3.0 to 3.2.
    Now is my Start-Up Sound deleted.
    How can i repair this?

    Install the audio driver from the vendor, does it use Cirrius? or RealTek? you need to install an audio driver or package, Boot Camp just provides hardware device so it can be installed later by the end user.
    My Mac Pro uses Realtek and easy enough to install, though I've read here that people had trouble on Macs that require Cirrius. But it is up to you.

    MS-Office for Mac versions 2004 and older do not run in Lion since these are PPC-apps for which Apple has dropped support.
    Free alternatives to open Word and Excel files:
