What windows do i need to install in bootcamp?

I got a MacBook White 13-inch, Late 2009 and i want to install windows with Bootcamp so I can play windows games. I did some google searches about this but im not really sure if Windows 7 runs good? Or maybe another windows version is better for my macbook? I saw some forum posts that wi-fi isn't working on Windows 7, but those posts are from 2009 so maybe its already fixed now? Do I need to install the 64bit version?
And to get the best game performance in Windows/Bootcamp, do I need to know some important things to download/install for my mac?
Hope someone can help me,
Thanks!

Make sure you read the system requirements for the games you wish to play. They usually list the minimal and recomended hardware. If you play with the minimal hardware then expect lower video quality and slower gameplay.
MacTracker lists the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M  as the graphics card installed in the late 2009 13" MacBook. This will not be able to satisfy the requirements of many action games released within the past few years. Also there is no upgrade possible.
This link shows several benchmark comparisons of the 9400M with games.

  • What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

    Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

    Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
    The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.

  • What software do I need to install on my I Mac OS X  Lion so it will read downloaded PES files?

    I have a new Brother DreamWeaver sewing machine which I need to download designs on my computer to use on the sewing machine.  I have an IMac OS X Lion and it cannot read the downloads.  What I need to know is what software do I need to install to enable my computer to read these downloads?

    Does the Mac meet the hardware requirements for Lion
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If everything works perfectly then your data should be safe. I don't know about you but I am never going to trust my data to everything working perfectly so I always backup first.
    The next step is to buy a Snow Leopard DVD and install it
    Once you have upgraded to 10.6.8 so that you have the App Store for Lion then you can purchase and install Lion.

  • I have mac os x 10.5.8. what upgrade do i need to install itunes 10.7

    I have mac os x 10.5.8. what upgrade do i need to install itunes 10.7

    Snow Leopard, if you can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    I've used Linux for several years, but only recently installed Arch for the first time. I installed Bridge Linux, Chakra, and later ArchBang, and after getting a feel for pacman (I think it's great!) and, with Bridge and ArchBang, the Arch repos, I was convinced that I wanted to go ahead with an Arch installation. Not sure if this is an option for you or not, but I actually tried two "test" installations on a spare computer first, taking detailed notes, with tabs in my browser (on another computer) opened to the Beginners' Guide and the "official" Installation Guide. I also kept the Bridge and ArchBang installations; kinda nice to be able to take a look at them sometimes to see how things are set up there. I don't know if Arch users would recommend this type of approach, but it has worked out well here.

  • What drivers do i need to install on my Lenovo Y530 after installing Windows 7???

    I just installed Windows 7 on my new Lenovo Y530 and want to know what drivers need to be installed. A few problems is the surround sound speakers, the laptop had amazing sound before i put 7 on it and now the speakers aren't working together.
    Also the Veriface login isnt working, does anyone know how to connect it properly??
    Also what other drivers need to be re-installed to bring it back to full functionality???
    thanks for all the help

    You're using the MS .NET Framework Provider for Oracle. You will need to install the Oracle client on each client machine using a Windows Form to access Oracle.
    You will also need to include the MS .NET Framework Provider for Oracle. I can't remember if MS includes it with .NET Framework or not, however.

  • What license do I need to install QuickTime on educational machines?

    I work as a technician and webmaster for Martin Luther College and we are looking into installing QuickTime onto our institutional machines. I am wondering what permission/licenses we need to have in order to do that along with what restrictions thre are for us. We are looking only at QuickTime playback functions for Windows XP, Vista, and 7 along with Mac OS X.
    Thank you for your help!

    If you need only the free QuickTime Player, you probably will be fine just downloading installing it on your systems and I doubt Apple would give you any trouble. To be strictly correct, though, your college would need to fill out and submit this licensing agreement:
    https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/agreements/pdf/qt7sitelicense.pdf
    There is no cost involved; it's strictly a formality. Mac OS X comes with QuickTime, so no additional licensing is necessary unless perhaps you want to install QuickTime Player 7 on systems with 10.6. and 10.7, in which case the above license should cover it.
    Regards.

    Try Safari > Preferences > Advanced and down the botton tick Show Develop Menu In Menu Bar. Now you will see Develop in the top menu in Safari, click on it to open the drop down window, go to User Agent and select Internet Explorer and see if this allows you to open the page. Otherwise, as Deggie said, it's up to a Windows Install on your Mac through Bootcamp or Paralells or the like to run IE within Windows.

  • Skype in Windows 8 Constantly needing re-install

    I am trying to help my wife who recently upgraded to Windows 8.  We have installed Skype MANY times on her computer.  Each time we do so it works.  But then the next time she wants to use Skype it tells her the App needs to be updated.  Repeat. Any idea what might be going wrong with this computer?

    You need to install Skype desktop version on this computer. The "modern" (metro) app for Windows 8 was disabled on July 7. http://blogs.skype.com/2015/06/11/a-more-efficient-skype-experience-for-your-pc/

  • What software do I need to install to get "Data Mining Framework"

    Hi,
    from edelivery.oracle.com I have downloaded:
    1. Hyperion Essbase - System 9 Release 9.3.1.2 Server Windows Installer
    2. Essbase Administration Services Release 9.3.1 Windows Installer
    I installed both software and I started Administration Services Console, log in etc. Essbase server is working fine.
    In Administration Services Console I click on Essbase Servers | localhost | Data Mining | Algorithms and got error:
    "message from server [Data Mining Framework is not available. Please contact Administrator].
    It looks like I need to install some other software to have access to data mining features. Which software do I need to install?

  • What OS do I need to install first on my Mac after a HD wipe?

    Hi, I am doing my annual HD wipe on a 2008 iMac and I keep forgetting which OS is the most recent that I can install FIRST.  If i recall correctly I couldn't just put Mavericks on last time, I needed Mountain Lion or Snow Leopard (can't remember which).  I have Mavericks now, but I am planning on going to Yosemite.  Also, if there is anyone with a computer as old as mine that has an argument on why i should NOT upgrade to Yosemite, please let me know.  Thanks.
    current computer :
    imac 24"
    Early 2008
    Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  6 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Software  OS X 10.9.5

    If you made a bootable USB drive of your Mavericks installer, you can boot to that and install Mavericks directly. There's no need to install an older OS first. Likewise, if you have a separate bootable drive with the downloaded Mavericks .dmg installer anywhere you can get at it, you can run the installer from there, then choose the erased drive as the target to install Mavericks too. Again, without having to install an older OS there beforehand.
    Macs with 4GB of RAM are not faring well with Yosemite. More features means more hardware requirements. You have 6GB, which may be alright for Yosemite, though I would personally recommend 8 as a real use minimum.

  • What package do I need to install quicktime?

    I am able to download quicktime, but I CAN NOT  install it, the message says " the installation package could not be opened". What do I need to do to install quicktime?

    I tried the link you provided and I am getting the same message. It says
      The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can acces it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid window installer package.

  • Equium M40x-189 - What drivers/utilities I need to install?

    Dear All,
    Equium m40x-189
    Reloaded Windows XP, but havent found the Toshiba Utilities and drivers disk that must have come with the lappy, not a lot works and in Device Manager there are a load of devices with yellow alerts.
    The internal wireless is not seeable, nor is a wireless card slotted into the PCMI expansion slot on the side.
    These are just the first things I noticed were not available. Need wireless to get to the internet to register Windies.
    I am not sure which drivers/utilities I need to download and install from the Toshiba download drivers web site.
    Is there such a thing as a list or instructions any where that details what drivers/utilities are required to make all the 'bits' work on a newly Windows loaded laptop.?
    Any help would be of immense value.
    Best regards
    Mark

    Hi
    As you already said on the Toshiba European driver download page you can download all necessary drivers and tools for your notebook.
    Furthermore on the website you will find the installation instructions document. Use this list as a recommended driver and software installation order.
    I think this is such a list that you mean so check this!!!
    Last but not least I think must install every driver and download on the Toshiba page because they are necessary for a properly working notebook.
    If you have more questions, please let us know.
