Window 7 Bootcamp Macbook Air

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Air with Bootcamp. Unfortauntely, I have little technical understanding and am looking for someone to dumb it all down for me.
If someone can point me in the direction of a very comprehensive but straight forward tutorial that would be fantastic. Otherwise, if someone can explain kind of the step by step process, I would be extremely appreciative.
Thanks,
Mike

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.

  • Windows 8 on macbook air

    Anybody aware of any challenges installing Windows 8 on Macbook Air? Just want to ensure that all audio, video and all ports continue to work when installing Windows 8. Don't want to take the plunge without getting some advice, since the system requirements don't list Windows 8 as supported.

    The best way I got windows 8 to work was to install windows 7 and all the bootcamp drivers etc as directed by Apple, then install windows 8 and select keep previous programs
    You may still get a couple of errors (bluetooth/trackpad and maybe video) but you can fix these simply by reinstalling the drivers, or rollback if a windons upgrade has over written the previous ones or by manually selecting your old windows 7 area that is kept when you upgrade to 8 (only delete windows 7 once you are happy)
    If you try and do a clean install of windows 8 bootcamp will not be installed (in the system tray) so none of the keyboard options or remapping will work or your backlight keyboard, even if you edit the bootcamp file so it will run in windows 8 to fix some of the drivers, bootcamp will not be installed
    You will not have the option to change some of the options in bootcamp system tray in windows 8 as it will show an error so only the default 2 finger scrolling etc is available, but it's enough for the function keys, sound, dimmer etc all to work ok
    How do I know this? I upgraded from 7 to windows 8 and had no problems, I then upgraded my SDD and had to reload everything from scratch, it took me several permutations (only windows 8,  windows 7 then 8, IOS and windows 8) till it was ok with IOS, windows 7 then 8. I also ran the system speed test on each permutation and the last one was the best which had something to do with Apple video drivers and chipset drivers IMO opposed to the ones windows 8 installs

    Use the Flash Drive that came with your computer it has Snow Leopard installed on it. If you lost it or cannot find it then call Apple and they will replace it for you, I don't know how much they will charge.
    BTW when installing MS Windows please follow the directions whether you are using Boot Camp or a vitualialization solution (Parallels, Fusion, etc.) had  you done this you would not have had any issues.

    Can anyone help me to get the Tack pad drivers for windows 7 on mAcBook Air..

    If you've created the Windows 7 Drivers CD/USB drive, using Boot Camp Assistant in OSX, the drivers should be on there. My MacBook Pro (2010) touchpad works fine with those drivers installed, and I think it's identical to the Air's.

  • Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air?

    Can I run rhino and grasshopper on a virtual windows on my macbook air? I keep getting a not enough memory message.

    The USB stick from your MBA cannot be used on any other Mac. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard for your other computer.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

  • Help bootcamp windows 8.1 Macbook Air 2013

    I have a Macbook Air 2013 running Mavericks and I want to install windows 8.1 on it but first im getting a message saying that the iso is not 64-bit and im so confused because it partitoned my harddrive aswell so how do i get that back.

    Not true. In Mac OS's Disk Utility, you can delete the Bootcamp partition then resize the Mac partition larger to use the free space.
    Gn12, if your mac keeps trying to boot to your Boot Camp partition, hold down the Option key as you boot so that you can select the Mac partition then use the Startup Disk preferences to select the Mac partition for future boots.

  • Bootcamp hangs when installing Windows 7 on Macbook Air

    I purchased a new Macbook air less than 1 month ago. 256GB SSD drive, maximum RAM. It's running OS X Lion (10.7.1). I plugged in a USB DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse.
    When trying to install Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp Assistant creates the partition, creates the windows driver disk, then reboots to install windows from my retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium (DVD.) It hangs with the progress bar about 10% of the way across. The message "windows is loading files" is displayed. I waited a full 45 minutes but nothing changed. Help!

    Look at your SSD. See if there is an issue, firmware update, etc.
    not all SSDs work - some work in one OS and not the other, the Mac 2011s have been known to have issues with their SATA3 cable interface and chipset.
    Apple and Intel and others have all issued fimrware updates.
    In some cases people have just sent back their MBP because they were such problem, and that just running Mac OS, not even Windows.
