Bootcamp El Capitan Windows 7

  • Baltimore, Maryland. It's not a limitation of El Capitan, exactly. Apple's list of what version of Windows can be installed in Boot Camp seems to be mostly hardware-based. See this Apple Support article and the others linked on the page.

  • Run bootcamp and select the two options - Create a Windows 7 or later setup disk - Download the latest windows support software from Apple 1.1. Click Continue, grab a beer. This takes a while. Because of reasons. Fire up bootcamp and this time select the option to install (only).

  • If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Check your Secure Boot setting

Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.

2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Mac Os X El Capitan Boot Camp Windows 7

  • If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
  • When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.

3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

4. Install Windows

Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

  • If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
  • If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, grey or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.

How to switch between Windows and macOS

Restart, then press and hold the Option (or Alt) ⌥ key during startup to switch between Windows and macOS.

I can't let Bootcamp download support files, because it seems it's a huge file (Downloading says like: 29000 minutes remaining, then 28000 and so on...), and it gives 'Connection error' after a few minutes.


Are you using a wireless connection? If yes, please try a wired (ethernet connection). On a 2009 Mac, you do not need the drivers to install Windows. You must use a physical DVD in your built-in Optical drive. External Optical drives will not work. Please do not connect any peripherals during Windows installation.


Please also see Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support . Step 11 is meant to be used if you are using a USB Installer, but not in your case.



First Question:

Key

Is there any way I can download the Bootcamp v6 (in El Capitan) support files separately?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Bootcamp

What I have is a mixed Service Pack 1 Windows (All Editions).

When I run Bootcamp it says 'Install Windows 7' but although the disk is in drive and it's bootable (installed WIndows with it on PCs), it says 'Could not find the installer disk'.


I searched and read many many topics on Apple's forum and other places.

Capitan

Like creating USB bootable from Windows installation disk. none worked.


Please download a 64-bit (or 32-bit) Windows 7 ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7 using your W7 product key. Do not use a mixed 32-bit/64-bit DVD or ISO. Your Mac does not support USB Installers for Windows.



Second Question:

What's the problem with this disk while as I said it works on PCs?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

Talking to Support Staff they advised me to download Bootcamp v4.1 (I guess it was that - around 600MB in size).

Please look at the Install W7 link and download the BC drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model. BC6 drivers support W8.1/W10 on newer Macs. They are not appropriate for your Mac.


Third Question:

I need sound, trackpad and other stuff work inside Windows.

Will this file work in Windows 7?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------

Bootcamp El Capitan Windows 7 Usb

There is a way to install Windows without Bootcamp:

Shrink Mac partition, format it as ms-dos, put Windows installation in drive, reboot and install Windows 7.

The BC drivers that you download will provide appropriate support. You need to run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder once you download the correct drivers to a USB2 Flash drive. Do not use a USB3 flash drive. Let BC Assistant do what it was designed to do. Bypassing it will lead to further problems during and after installation.

Last Question:

Can I install Windows without Bootcamp and have devices working inside Windows?

Yes, but see the suggested methods. There is no need to bypass BC Assistant, unless you have a partially functional Mac.
