This may or may not work depending on version of Mac os x and mac model.

Hello,
I used the file for Windows 8 on MacBook Pro Retina Mid-2014. When I tied to open the Bootcamp.exe file, it said that it wasn’t compatible.

how to download window 7 without the disc using boot camp
Hi Ezekiel
Not sure what you are asking for here? Is it a copy of Windows 7 download you are after?
Cheers
Matt
Hello! Your tutorials are helping me a great deal. However, I’ve run into a problem that I can’t find the answer to here.
Everything in the Windows Installation goes well on my Mid-2014 15-Inch Macbook Pro.
I get past the partition stage, and am under the process of installing Windows.
All the checkboxes get ticked.
(Copying Window’s Files
Getting Files ready for installation.
Installing Features
Installing Updates)
But before Finishing Up gets ticked, the instillation gets stopped in its tracks and I get an error message saying Windows Can’t Modify the Boot Record.”
Is there any way I can fix this without having to purchase a CD drive? Because all the solutions I’ve found on Google seem to point to that.
I have a copy of Windows 8.1 Student edition purchased and downloaded directly from Microsoft in ISO form that is being bootcamped from an 8gig thumbdrive.
Thanks!
Correction.
The error message is this:
“Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of the installation. To install Windows, restart the installation”
HI Joey
Sorry I am not quite sure which stage you are at, can you give me some more information?
Cheers
Matt
Hi Joey
Oh right so you are up to the installing Windows stage the screen actually shows the Windows screen?
Cheers
MAtt
Hi Matt!
Included is a picture that I snapped from your video. This is where I am.
http://i.imgur.com/fg48mJd.png?1
When there is a checkmark on all of the steps but “Finishing Up” is when the crash happens. Resulting in the message:
*Windows could not update the computer’s boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed.*
And then the installation crashes.
I’ve tried a solution that involves creating free space and then booting from the USB drive, but that didn’t end up working.
Thank you!
Hello
I have one Macbook pro 2011 late version . My boot camp assistant not showing option ” Create a Windows 7 install disk ” only showing download the latest windows support software from apple and remove windows partition. Please help me
Hi Abdul Jaleel
If this is the case it probably wants you to install Windows from a DVD. So it will install Windows from a DVD and download the Windows support software to the USB.
So burn any iso file to DVD. Video link here.
Cheers
Matt
Hi, I’m trying to install Windows 8.1 on my 13in 2014 Macbook Pro but in bootcamp assistant when I try to make the windows USB stick I keep getting this message “Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation.” I’m using the free trial iso for windows 8.1 64-bit that I downloaded from this website. I also tried moving it to the documents folder instead of the desktop but that did not help. Thoughts? I want to use a free trial before I purchase windows 8 to see if it even runs well enough on my Mac!
Hi Lauren
Does it detect the Windows iso file at all? Does it add the iso file to the boot camp menu or not?
Also maybe try and run the Apple updates, restart the Mac and try it again.
Cheers
Matt
Is there any way to install Windows 7 32 bit onto a 13in MacBook Pro Retina late 2013? Would the older Bootcamp 4 installer work? I have some Ag software that only installs and runs on Windows 7 32 bit. I also happen to have access to a Mid 2012 13in MacBook Pro that windows 7 32 bit is running great on under Boot Camp. I wonder if I can maybe Winclone that and put it on the this other newer machine.
Thanks.
HI Charlie
From what the 123myIT.com webpage says it only supports 64 bit software.
You could try installing a VMware option. Take a look at the video below. I have not tested it but you might be able to install VMware then install the 32bit version of Windows in the VMware.

Let me know if it works. I would interested to find out if it does.

Hi!
First I have to say a big thank you for all your effective info here! It’s amazing!
I really need your help.
i have macbook pro early 2011 , and I want to install win 8.1 in a second partion. I have a ruined built in dvd that does not seem to work which leaved me with the only option to try and install windows using a USB drive.
However, While I was starting bootcamp It did not give me the option to install or create a USB iso windows fille. It as if was expecting me to insrer a media to the dvd which doesnt work anyway.
Is there a way , that I can do it without a dvd in this praticular model?
why did mac remove the first out of 3 check marks on bootcamp? that would allow me to install from a usb and not thriygh a DVD?
Please help !!
Thanks
Amit
HI Amit Gafny
Because your model is older it uses the DVD to install Windows.

Hi,
After purchasing a new laptop, I gave my 16 yr old son my 2007 macbook pro, 15 in. (2.4/2.2 GHZ) Processor 2.2 GHZ Intel Core Duo. It is running OSX Yosemite Version 10.10.3. He decided he wanted to run windows 8.1 so that he can do some of his homework at home. He replaced the hard drive with a 1 TB Sata Disk, and purchased Windows 8.1, student edition, which only comes as a download. He has been trying to install windows for over a week, without any success. His bootcamp version is 5.1.4. When he runs book camp there’s only 2 options to choose from, the first option is missing (Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk.) I’m beginning to think maybe the reason it’s not working is windows 8.1 won’t work with the older mac? Any suggestions in pointing us in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Hilda
Without bursting your bubble. You are correct the MacBook Pro is quite old now and the 2007 Mac might only support Windows XP and Windows 7. I would suggest maybe trying with those first.

Hi there, just installed windows 7 64 bit on my Macbook Pro 13 inch retina display. The problem is there are no network adapters or drivers, which I cannot connect to the Internet even i use Ethernet cable to my router which is also not working because the Ethernet adapters are not installed. Any solutions?

HI Sam
I have not seen this error before. However I would suggest there is something wrong with the boot file. The file that tells the computer which OS to use.
Normally when people have problems like this I suggest 123myIT’s 3 step process.

Hi Matt

Also, I have to ask you what’s different between EXFAT and NTFS and which one is better? Because it same if I install Windows by Bootcamp its format is NTFS, but if I install windows Like this video:

hello matt i don’t know how to install the driver i came here because u said to someone that had a problem “the same as my problem”when you delete the pre before usb in the info file because i had no option that allowed me to put windows on a usb in the video for putting windows on the usb i want to also ask if it is possible to put windows on a usb without installing it on my mac and
Hi salah
Just let me know what you are trying to do? Install Windows on a USB right?
If that’s the case and you are having issues with the PRE, you need to go to this YouTube video. https://youtu.be/kz0QGH_40w4
And in the comments section you will see people that have has the PRE issue. So on that page scroll down and there is a solution for you.
At some stage when I have more time I will try and make a video about this.

Microsoft doesn’t sell it any more. You might be able to get it from eBay second hand maybe? Just make sure you get the DVD and the product code.

Hi, Just got my new Macbook Pro 13″ – 2015 – retina.
I would like to have a Windows version 10 on this Macbook with bootcamp.
I have a Windows 8.1 running on a external USB disc, this works fine on my iMac. When i boot this Windows on my Macbook, i cannot use bluetooth, network, wifi …
My question; Is it possible to use Windows 10 on the latest Macbook Pro 2015? Are all drivers available for it?
Thanks
Hi William,
The short answer is. . . . I don’t know. As I don’t have a 2015 Mac. However I have ordered one its being shipped as we speak and I will have a video up shortly which should answer your questions.
Until then, my guess is that the boot camp drivers for Windows 8 should work with Windows 10.
Sign up to the 123myIT.com YouTube channel or check back here in about a week and I should have an update for you.

Hi there!
I’m using a MacBook Pro 15″ (retina display, Mid-2015) and i’ve successfully installed Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp. But i’m having trouble with the drivers! I can´t make my trackpad, speakers and special functions of the keyboard to work!
I’ve already download multiple versions of the Bootcamp drivers and I always get the same message saying that those drivers are not suited for the version of my Mac…
Any answers? Thanks a lot anyway!
Cheers!
Hi Rui
I have just purchased a MacBook Pro 2015. Unboxing video will be up in the next few hours. It will take a me a few days to go through the Windows 10 install, once this is done I will have a video up for that as well.

Thank you for your response. The problem just got solved itself. It seems that BootCamp was downloading wrong drivers. Today I tried to re download drivers via BootCamp and they worked! The 5.1.5640, 5.1.5621, 5.1.5722 and 5.1.5729 were not working (when I was trying to download them manually).
Hi Misha
Glad you got it working!

Hi,
I have the Macbook Pro (Retina, 15″ Mid 2014) and am trying to install Win7 Home Premium 64bit OEM using the usb created via the Bootcamp process from my genuine MS disc.
Windows was installed fine after the applessd.sys issue was addressed.
The drivers supplied by the bootcamp setup process gave the wrong version message after which I found your site.
Using the drivers appropriate to my Macbook from here (5.1.5640) I get no errors during install but neither the internal keyboard or usb mouse works but the the internal trackpad DOES work (so am able to move around inside Win7 via on screen keyboard).
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Davey
For the time being see if you can use a USB mouse and keyboard.
The thing to check would be the device manager and see what drivers are missing.
Then use the boot camp downloads to see if the devices will disappear.
Try using an older version than 5.1.5640.
Cheers
Matt
Hi Matt,
I did think about the older versions but haven’t had time to test that yet. I will certainly try them.
Using the trackpad and on screen keyboard I have already tried updating drivers for the keyboard (which is the only item showing an error in Device Manager) but when I select check internet for updated drivers it just sits there although I have only done that the once so far so can try that again. Installing the driver manually didn’t seem to work.
The USB mouse receives power as the optical light comes on but has no effect on the cursor. I recall hearing the Win7 USB device connection/disconnection sound but would need to test it again to make sure I wasn’t just hearing it during the driver install and not when I disconnect/reconnect the mouse afterwards.
Thanks for your help.
Ok tried 5.1.5621 but that gives me the message regarding wrong version for my mac, which incidentally is the message I get using the drivers that bootcamp assistant downloaded for me.
Btw restarting from OSX seemed to give me a working mouse this evening.
Hi Davey
Just updated the website with the latest Windows 10 on MacBook Pro 2015 model.
If you follow that you should see where the drivers are downloaded to the USB for your model. I just wonder if Apple didn’t have any support for a mid 2014 model did you try the 5.1.5621?
Cheers
Matt

Hello,
First I would like to thank you for this very informative and detailed website. I cannot thank you enough. I do have a request, is it possible for you to post a direct download for BootCamp 6.0? Everytime there is an OS update the BootCamp keyboard drivers get replaced with generic keyboard drivers. The only way I’ve been able to fix this is by reinstalling 5.1.5621 and then running an update to 6.0. This process is a hassle and it would be amazing if I could just download a copy of the 6.0 installer package, so I could instantly re-run the 6.0 installer when this problem presents itself again. Thanks again for everything, and hopefully you can help me with my desperate request.

Hello! Hopefully you can help as I have had a bit of trouble installing Windows 8.1 pro on my Mid 2012 MBP. I am running Mountain Lion and hesitant to upgrade as I am a Pro Tools user and have a pretty stable system right now. My version of Boot Camp is 5.04 and I can’t seem to get the App Store to allow it go any higher. I downloaded the drivers for this version of MBP but I don’t know what to do with them.
I have tried 3 times and the error is different each time. One was Critical Structure Failure. Another was IRQL Not Equal Or Lesser.
I would love to figure out if this is possible in Mountain Lion but if not I believe I can move to Mavericks with out messing up my Pro Tools situation. Is that the answer?
well I figured out where your drivers go but the ones I downloaded from your site are older than the ones Boot Camp installed on my USB drive with the ISO. So I am left thinking that this is probably an Mac OS/Boot Camp version issue. Would be great if you have any insight into this. Thanks!

Hi Folks,
I have tried to install W10 on my mid 2014 MBP and keep running into issues. I have been trying to use the method from Apple Support and it seems to fail at the windows installation stage. Do you have a video on how to manage this install? I managed windows 8.1 from one of your tutorials before and it worked really well, this was just a demo version and I missed the chance to pay and upgrade, now trying to do a clean install of W10. Appreciate any help and guidance you can provide.
Further information: I am getting the error code 0x80070570, i am trying to re-download the ISO file from MS, I will also try different usb stick. The will try using a media creation tool rather than the BC assist created USB.
Hi,
For the past month I’ve been trying to get my second monitor working on my 2012 Mid MacBook Pro 13 inch on Windows 10. I’ve tried reinstalling the drivers that are installed during the installation of Windows in Bootcamp. I’ve came to the conclusion that those drivers seem to have a problem because my second monitor doesn’t work and I can’t hear anything through my speakers. Does anybody know a solution to this problem? It’s been really aggravating and taking up a lot more time than it should.
Thanks,
Aammar
If you plug second monitor in as primary monitor does it work?
Can you install Win10 to a late 2010(13″) MacBook Pro
You might be able too, I have not tried. Normally win 7.
When installing on Windows 7, 13″ 2010 MacBook Pro it says that it is not the device it was made to be installed to. WHAT
Sorry mate, which part are you talking about?
Sorry, I tried the 15″ drivers and it worked, which is strange because I’m using a 13″ 2010 MacBook pro.
Are the apple downloads down right now? I cant seem to download any of the drivers without getting an error.
Seems ok for me?

I need some advice. Macbook Pro 1,1 Aluminum CoreDuo 1.8GHZ I think, with 2GB RAM. I installed windows 7 and nothing works as far as the keyboard backlight, Trackpad multi-touch, graphics were easy from ATI (x1600 i think) and the sound works but I want the keyboard backlight and the trackpad to function properly. I installed windows 10 and it didn’t find a single hardware driver to function. Do I need to roll it back to XP or Vista to get these drivers to work? I feel like i just need the BootCamp 1 software, which MAC doesnt offer anymore for no reason at all. It was my dad’s old work laptop and when he passed away I wanted to keep it as a relic that I could use, but nothing functions properly. Please Help???
Sure mate whats up?
