Which Microsoft Windows version do I need for v10.7.5?

I need to install MSFT Windows for a tool I need to use for research purposes (it only works on Windows)
Question: Which Microsoft Windows version is compatible with my Macbook air version?
The good part is I can get any version of Microsoft OS coz my friend works there.
-- Just need to know which version and bit I need that would work with my current OS.
Thank you ahead of time for the help!

Sorry, I mis-read the question.
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. 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.

  • I cannot sync my iphone to my macbook since the highest software upgrade on it is 10.5.8.  I cannot upgrade to the min. software necessary to upgrade to the itunes version that I need for the iphone 5!  Please help!

    I cannot sync my iphone to my macbook since the highest software upgrade on it is 10.5.8.  I cannot upgrade to the min. software necessary to upgrade to the itunes version that I need for the iphone 5!  Please help! 

    The iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 or later and iTunes 10.7 requires OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8). If your profile is correct it looks like you need to update your OS X on you Mac. You can contact Apple and purchase the software from them.

  • What BIOS version do I need for this processor?

    I am going to be starting round two soon trying to install my new MSI 790FX-GD70 motherboard. I had to RMA the last one because I could not get it to work with anything I did. So my question is this, what BIOS version do I need for my processor to be recognized? I will be using the 790FX-GD70 motherboard with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor.
    And what version comes on the motherboards? I want to make sure I don't encounter problems again when trying to install it. If it requires a BIOS upgrade right out of the box, then I will take it to the local computer store and have them flash it with one of their lower end processors. Thanks in advance!
    - Jonathan

    Is the CPU the 125W (1.5) or the 140W (1.3) version? The 125W is the newest and takes a later 1.5 BIOS. Look at the BIOS chip on the MB and write down the number on the sticker that's stuck on it. The last 3 digits = BIOS version, ie. 100 would be 1.0, 110 1.1
     It's the chip just above bottom PCIe slot just to the right of N1996 number on the MB. (near the bottom center of MB) The thing is small so you need good young eyes or a magnifying glass to read it.

  • Which Adobe Flash player do I need for Facebook and other videos to show up on screen with Windows 8

    PLEASE HELP ME WITH VIDEO FLASH PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 8 for FACEBOOK VIDEOS!

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version, 10.2.152.25, 10.3.x beta, or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. The first one on the list, Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Which version do i need for kindle fire

    which version of flash player do I need for kindle fire?

    Adobe stopped ALL development of Flash for Android last year.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html there are older versions of Flash Player (for Android) at that link, but there are no guarantees any of them will work.
    Check Android forums for alternatives.

    I've read a lot about "Dolphin" for Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
    I'm not an Android user (no tablet or phone) so I can't make any endorsements that would hold any credibility, but most of the Flash solutions I've read point to Dolphin as the best alternative.
    Again, check Android forums: http://androidforums.com/ to see what their "gurus" recommend.

  • What version of windows 7 do i need for my iMac?

    How do I figure out if I need 32bit or 64 Bit Windows 7 for running windows 7 professional on my I Mac? Ir does it matter?

    32 bit is not the "better choice". Your Apple computer is a 64 bit computer. Newer Windows programs are 64 bit. If you have more than about 3.5GB of RAM you must use 64 bit in order to address all your RAM. Windows 64 bit will run older programs written for 32bit systems.
    There is no reason to use 32bit and many reasons to use 64bit Windows.

  • What windows system services are needed for iTunes 12

    I recently installed the update for iTunes on my PC.  Something happened near the end of the process:  a dialog box popped up telling me that some of the Windows services were missing from my computer.  I was given three (3) choices: cancel / retry / ignore.  I first tried retry and that didn't work, so I clicked on the ignore option and the installation finished.
    Now, I think the missing Windows 7 (64-bit) service was the "Apple Mobile Device" Service.  Unfortunately, I failed to write down exactly what the dialog box said, so there could be other services missing from my computer.  And since I have no way to know when the service/s was/were lost a system restore will not work.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Which jre & tomcat version do you recommend for this hardware setup?

    I have to install a SINGLE JSP application onto an Intel pentium3 windows XP box with 128Mb of RAM clocked at 733Mhz
    1. Is this setup sufficient for running tomcat?
    2. Which version of tomcat and which JRE do you recommend for this setup?
    3. Would I get better performance running Jetty, and if so which version?

    The issue of changing native folder hierarchy and/or naming conventions has little to do with solid state media and everything to do with the container and header data that links the audio/video streams with the metadata and thus allows the content or "media essence" to be properly decoded and played.  This is the very reason to use a tool like Prelude or Premiere's Media Browser or even Bridge or Lightroom or a third party logging tool like metafuze or shotputpro, or dedicated camera format software such as sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools all are designed to parse the captured A/V data and make properly syntaxed edits to the metadata either embedded directly into the media container or in Prelude and Premiere's case can also be written back to a sidecar or associated XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the original captured metadata plus any changes and/or additions made via these tools.
    The dangers come into play when changes to the native file naming convention or folder hierarchy are done directly to the media content via finder on mac or explorer on windows, as changing at that level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the media essence since the changes are not being written to the metadata or content headers or being handled in a manner referred to as transmuxing..
    Prelude & Premiere's Media Browser both allow for looking into the native files non-destructively and safely modifying either the metadata linked to the native media or also allows for a transcode to be done which will then copy or recreate a new media file in whatever format selected along with a new metadata stream.
    Prelude is a nice utility and Premiere's Media Browser an amazing tool for organizing, modifying and selectively ingesting media and or making quick selects and assemblies.
