Will Windows 7 Builder Pac run on my Mac mini?

As long as it's 64-bit it should install OK, but you'd be in breach of the license agreement, a Windows System Builder Pack is licensed for system builders to include/install on a new system; a retailer is not supposed to sell System Builder Packs without the relevant hardware.

  • Will windows 7 oem branded  run on my mac pro that has lion 10.7.5

    I am a new mac user and want to run boot camp and windows 7.  I tried to load my windows 7 upgrade and found that would not work.  My question is will a windows 7 home premium oem like dell or Hp load on my mac?
    any help much appreciated

    Like the gray machine specific disks Macs shipped with (before Lion), OEM Windows disks are also machine specific. They only contain the drivers necessary to work on the PC they shipped with. You must purchase a full version retail copy of Win 7. Do not purchase a retail upgrade disk.

  • Will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?

    hi there guys,
    will logic pro x run on my mac mini dual core intel i5 with 4gb of ram and mountain lion ?
    I'm not sure if my machine is 64 bit - it is the current model base mac mini.
    Many thanks for any help you can offer !

    SkiJumptoes is right. 4GB is not enough to comfortably run Logic X.
    Your Mac Mini will need DDR3 SODIMM RAM. That website seems incredibly steep though. I guess that's the price of finding it for you. You're better off going to any below:

    I friend has given me his original copy of Photoshop Elements 11.  It will not load on to my computer. Mac. mini. I keep getting will not initialize.

    I own the businesses, so there are no restrictions. Even my personal page has the same problem. I've been working on FB for years with no access problems. Ironically, the problem started the day the FB IPO went public. At first, the "freeze" happened when I tried to view a photo. Now it happens virtually every time I try to do anything: view a friend's page, try to use "chat."
    I'm at a loss. I would view it as a blessing, except that too many of my "friends" and family only use FB to communicate. I'm afraid that's how the world is today, and we can't turn back the clock.

  • Does Windows 2008 Server run ok under Mac Mini Bootcamp?

    Does anyone have any experience of installing and running Windows 2008 Server on a Mac Mini (of which has either Mac OS or Mac OS Server installed), under Bootcamp?
    I currently have an old Dell with Windows 2008 server which acts as my Domain Controller, Exchange Server for a small home-office network. It's due an upgrade as the hardware is so old (and noisy!) and like the idea of having a nice compact, quiet Mac Mini, but want to make sure it can carry out the same duties under bootcamp on Win2008?

    Windows 2008 can be installed in Boot Camp.  However I don't believe it is officially supported by Apple so there may or may not be issues with installing the Boot Camp Drivers (or future updates to the Boot Camp drivers.)  Not something I'd be recommending for a "production" environment.  If this is a test/dev system, then probably worth trying, depending on how critical your network uptime is.
    Also, you didn't mention if your Dell came with Windows 2008 preinstalled, but if it did, then likely it has a "branded" version of Windows that won't activate correctly on non-Dell hardware.  (If your Windows disks have "Dell" on them, they won't work with the Mac.)  So you may need to purchase a retail or volume license copy of Windows 2008.
    In general, for a server running as a DC & Exchange, you'd want RAID1 as a minimum so that would be the Mac Mini Server, not the "desktop" Mac Mini.  Unless you have one lying around, you're looking at something around $1500-$2000 to start, depending on whether you can transfer your existing Windows 2008 & Exchange installations.  (Another $500-$2000 depending on what vesions of Windows & Exchange.)  And probably 8GB of RAM since Windows 2008 & Exchange on 4GB is pushing it.  Considering the costs, I suggest you look at the Dell T110 series or the HP Proliant 110 series.  Both lines are very quiet and are supported for Windows 2008 from the factory, including Windows Small Business Server, which includes Exchange.  While not as small as a Mac Mini, they are mini towers and about the size of a typical PC desktop.
    If you really wanted a small footprint, then HP has a "microserver" series.  You'd probably need to call HP to get the build you want as the online ordering is limited for that model.  From Dell, there is the Zino model desktop.  Again, not supported for a "server", but you were going to consider a the non-server version of the Mac Mini, then the Zino has at least a chance of you reusing your existing versions of Windows if they're Dell branded, thus saving your something in the range of $500-$2000 for new software.  (But I would NOT recommend a non-server chassis without RAID1 hard drives, so the Zino is not my choice.  I just offer it as a possibility if you accept the risk of an unsupported installation, as would have been installing Windows 2008 in Boot Camp.)
    So yes, it will work.  But I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment, especailly if you have the "desktop" computer without RAID1.

  • Will windows os under parallels migrate to new mac using migration assistant

    I have been using parallels 7 with windows 7 on a 2008 macbook pro. I have gotten a new 2012 macbook pro and plan to use migration assistant. Will windows install without my having to call Microsoft? I also have Office 2010 and wonder if I need to call Microsoft to allow me to use it on the new MacBook?
    I have made a clone of my older computer. I have done Time Machine also

    Migration Assistant only migrates - it does not delete anything from the 'other' machine.
    Good luck,

  • What windows applications won't run on a mac?

    I'm about to go from PC to Mac and would like to get an understanding of what common applications won't run on a Mac.  I'm not interested in things like MS Office and such which I know have Apple version, but I'm interested in Adobe Acrobat, Flash Player, Others such as Garmin, eBay Turbo Lister, Nikon View, etc.  Seems to me I've heard that Flash files won't work on Apple Products.  Are there apps that will allow some of these to run? 
    I don't think I have too many to worry about but I'd appreciate hearing what challenges others have had and what to expect in general.

    All Office and Adobe products available on both platforms. Flash works fine on a Mac, just not on iDevices like iPads or iPhones.
    Others that you've listed just find out if the developers have a Mac version. Do some research.

  • Basics: will snow leopard run on my mac mini

    Hi
    a) how do I find out what software is currently running on my mac?
    b)given I've had the mac for around 4 years and not purchased software, it's going to be running a pretty old programme I reckon. What problems am I going to encounter upgrading to snowleopard?
    Many thanks.

    Hello,
    The first question is whether or not your Mac Mini has an Intel processor. Do +Apple > About This Mac+ if you need to find out. It will tell you what processor is in your mini. (Snow Leopard can only be installed on Intel based Macs.)

  • Will Mountain Lion run on my mac mini running lion server?

    I like the new features of Mountain Lion and I am not utilizing the "server" functions of lion.  Will the new os effect the mini's operation?

    Which Mini exactly, some cannot use 10.8?
    10.7 was far more steps backwards than forwards, ML/10.8 has a few step forwards from 10.7 & a few backwrds...
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
              •          MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
              •          iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
              •          MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
              •          Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
              •          XServe – early 2009 models and newer
    Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
    Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
              •          Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
              •          Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
              •          MacBook models released prior to 2008
              •          Mac Mini released prior to 2007
              •          iMac models released prior to 2007
              •          Original MacBook Air
    This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.

  • Will Snow Leopard 10.6.8 run on a Mac Mini?

    I've got a partition on my hd that contains Snow Leopard 10.6.8, but when I try to start it up, it won't do it.  Any thoughts?

    It depends on which Mac mini model it is. Append the last three characters of the computer's serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and see what the minimum and maximum Mac OS X versions are for it. If it's too new to boot 10.6.8, it can still run it inside a product such as VirtualBox.

  • Can windows 7/8 be installed in "Apple Mac mini md387"?

    i honestly have no clue of it.
    please be extremely relevant. if yes then how & if no then why ??
    detailed response would be appreciated.
    kindly help me asap. thanks

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    MD387 is the Late 2012 Mac mini, which supports 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 versions through Boot Camp.
    It's easy to install Windows in Boot Camp, always that you follow the steps > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf You will need a full or System Builder version of Windows 7 and 8.
    Another option is to install Windows onto a virtual machine, using Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox. In this case, you can install the Windows version you want.
    There are some differences between running Windows on Boot Camp and a virtual machine. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321

  • How can I install window 8 on external hard drive on mac mini

    So, I have mac mini and I'd like to install win8 on external hard drive and can anyone give me guides to do it?
    also I wonder would I be able to run win 8 after installation using parallels desktop?
    thanks in advance

    I have to agree that Windows8 is a waste of time, especially if you don't have a touch screen and compatible apps.
    However, the latest version of Parallels supports running Windows8, Parallels can either run Windows from a 'virtual disk' file which can be stored wherever you want including on an external drive, or it can also be configured to run Windows from a Boot Camp partition created using Apple's Boot Camp Utility.
    See http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v7/update2/docs/en/Parallels%20Desktop%20U ser's%20Guide/32733.htm
    In order to run Boot Camp from an external drive and therefore be able to setup the Boot Camp partition on the external drive you first have to install and run OS X on the external drive. Then the Boot Camp utility will let you add the Boot Camp partition on the external drive. You cannot run OS X and the Boot Camp utility from an internal drive and try adding the Boot Camp partition to the external drive. The Boot Camp Utility only lets you add the partition on the same physical drive it is running from.
    Personally I have legal XP and Windows7 licenses (currently using Windows7) and even if the Windows8 upgrade was totally free of charge I would not bother with it. I would also not bother with it at work as an IT Manager.
