Thinkpad Tablet 2 can't run Windows 10
Don't be fooled by the link to the drivers posted above! The first download link on that page (Description: Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor Z2760 IPC with SCU Driver Installer)will not install the drivers you want, but will instead put a utility called "Driver Toolkit" on your computer that claims to find the necessary drivers and, for a price of at least $30, automate the driver installation process for you. Don't trust that program! Instead, use the second download link, which has the legitimate driver installation process and does not cost a penny - just the way it's supposed to be. (Just to be sure, make sure the description above the button reads as followsDriver Version: 6.2.9200.28847Release Date: 2013-01-06File Size: 24.86MSupported OS: Windows XP 32bit, Windows Vista 32bit, Windows 7 32bit, Windows 8 32bit UPDATE! Installing the drivers and a reboot later, the Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator compatiblity problem remains. So, the problem has yet to be solved!
I got same issue. I have clean installed Win10 on my TPT2. I used USB Installation media that was made by MS Win10 media creation tool. And drivers from Lenovo site. TPT2 has only one USB port, thus I used USB HUB Inland Wired 4 Port USB 2.0 HUB UPC Code: 012405088187. It worked fine very much. The installation was OK, but I got a problem.The problem is that Pop up menu items that is from right clicked on icons that are on task bar disappeared. It was uncomfotable too much.Then I disabled Intel graphic media acceralator 9.14.3.1177 as the device driver at device manager display section.The driver is included in Intel Platform Driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit), 8 (32-bit) - ThinkPad Tablet 2 http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/tablets/thinkpad-tablet-series/thinkpad-tablet-2/downloads/DS039909 And then it switched MS basic video driver automatically.It looked like OK. The problem was fixed. However, I found further 2 issues.1. Screen brightness is not changable. It may affect battery life time.2. Movie performace is not good. Another things were looked like OK. Finally, I abandoned Win10 on TPT2 by the video problem, even though I spent 3 days for this issue.

Can I run window 8.1 pro on hp a450n
Can I run window 8.1 pro on hp a450n with upgrade 2gb ram.
According to the specs for your HP Pavilion a450n Desktop Computer, this model use an Intel Pentium 4 and is almost 10 years old. Please run the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant or Windows 8.1 Upgrade Assistant to see if your computer is compatible with Windows 8 / 8.1
I tend to think your computer doesn't support some of the needed technologies to run Windows 8 / 8.1
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook?
The system requirements for Windows 8.1 says that it needs "Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver". Can I run Windows 8.1 using VirtualBox on my Macbook? It's a late 2009 model with an NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB graphics card & 2 GB of RAM. (Do I need more RAM?)
Thanks!While I can't answer to the BootCamp specification, I can state the use of Windows and Mac OS X in the MacBook will invite a need to upgrade the RAM; likely to the max it can use. Matching RAM of quality specs so the system will work. The specs are important, as details are everything.
You'd likely use Boot Camp to make a partition on the internal HDD, but then the overall capacity for Mac OS X could be compromised. When you remove a partition, you'd use BootCamp again, or you'd have to erase content in order to restore to original capacity. Disk Utility generally has a harder time with a BootCamp partition.
Good luck & happy computing! -
On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.
Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you. -
The 2012 Mac Mini's are listed on this article. Can I run windows 7 64-bit on it and/or the 32-bit?
I would buy nothing less than Windows 7 64-bit Pro.
32-bit only addresses 3.5 GB RAM ... 2012 Macminis can hold 16 GB.
64-bit Home addresses 16 GB RAM.
64-bit Pro addresses 192 GB RAM and han an XP mode.
This is all about having a good version of Windows for future use. Yu can buy "Syem Builder" version of 64-bit Pro for $140. -
I have a 17" mid-2009 MacBook Pro with a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M
GT 512MB. Recently upgraded to OS X MAvericks 10.9.4. I wish to run 3DS MAx Design using Boot CAmp.
The Boot Camp Assistant, downloading the Windows installers says my system can only run Windows 7. [The newly-opened Windows 8.1 disc is right here.] Can this be right? Might you please identify the weak point? Should I upgrade? Is the memory the reason? Is the assistant wrong? What should I do.
Using 3ds max, would it be wise to upgrade the memory in any case. When the correct Windows softyware is determined and installed, how large should I set the partition. Thank you for helping me.Thanks, Kappy. Please, I'd read those system requirements before; I still don't understand where my system falls short. Both 7 and 8 stipulate a 1GHz processor. Graphics card I don't know the difference. So it's memory- I have insufficient accesible memory? If my purpose is to manipulate highly featured images, should I upgrade memory in any case. Does it make much difference whether it's 7 or 8? Some places I know my footing. Here, not. Step by step. Thanks!

Can you run windows 7 as vmware on mac or ipad
Can I run windows 7 on my Mac or use a iPad and use VMware on them.
You can run Windows on your Mac, but not on an iPad.
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.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. 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 run windows in the background?
hi there
i have recently purchased a macbook pro 13" and i know that it is possible to split the hard disk to be able to install windows OS, but i was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to leave windows running in the background and switch back to OSX?
the reason i want to try and do this is because i have a USB device for my fish tank that monitors several peramitors and uploads them to an online account so i can see what is going on in my fish tank, however it needs a local piece of software for it to be able to do this and at the minute this is only available for windows hence my question, im hoping i can get around it by spliting my mac in this way but it needs to be able to run in the background as a parralel system.
any help would be great.Hey,
You can buy Virtual Machine apps such as VMware Fusion and Parallels Desktop for Mac and these will let you run Windows as a Virtual Machine (on top of Mac OS X). You can then run Windows programs as well as Mac ones.
If you need any more help, please ask

With Mac OS 10.6.7 can I run windows XP?
I want to use Boot Camp to slipt my hard Drive so that I can run windows, but the only widows disks I own are XP and Vista but I have heard that with the OS 10.6.7 I can't run windows XP, which is what I really want.
So is it possible to use Boot Camp to run Windows XP with Mac OS 10.6.7?
btw I dont know if it matters but I have a Mac book Pro 13in with Core i7, 4GB memory, and 500GB hard Drive.MacBook Pro 2011 now only supports and supplies drivers etc for Windows 7, not XP.
Probably due to all the changes needed to support Sandy Bridge processors, SATA3 and ThunderBolt.
if you have 2010 then yes.
And don't rule out using a VM - not good for games but can be for non-intensive apps.
And you probably want Windows 7 64-bit to use 4GB or more (and your MBP takes 8GB RAM, 16GB for 2011).
PS: This is regarding MacBook Pro, totally different from "Mac Pro"

Can't run Windows 7 SP1 on large HDD (1TB)
Hi
I have just been directed to this very recent thread which is apparently now closed:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=275105
I have been having a virtually identical problem with a 1TB Toshiba disk - I have wasted days on it and tried at least 10 Windows 7 installs with varying behaviours/parameters/partitions and always the same end result. Can't run Windows Update.
I also tried installing Windows 7 SP1 from a DVD and that failed with a catastrophic error. I have also tried reformatting the drive, the WIndows Update repair tool (ha!) and installing while standing on my head reciting the works of Shakespear.
I gave up in the end and decided NOT to use it as a system disk at all. Instead I have installed Windows 7 on a smaller drive and am using the 1TB successfully as a secondary disk on the same PC and with a single 1TB partition.
Am I likely to experience problems - perhaps when the drive gets fuller and might I be wise to split it into 2 or more partitions?
I've only just bought the disk so I can send it back if it's going to be a waste of time.
Many thanks.I guess you should check what problem you have with the desktop computer because the OS installation should work on any of the HDDs maybe your desktop requires a kind of RAID or SATA drivers but you should check this with your desktop PC

Well, if his iMac will boot from Snow Leopard, he would have the rather troublesome option to downgrade it to Snow Leopard, install Windows XP in Bootcamp and then bring it back to Mountain Lion (which could then also be used with Parallels for either dual-boot or concurrent use with Mac OS X).
Just another option to consider.
