Introduction
This guide shows you how to install and set up Boot Camp, so you can use either Windows or OS X
on your Mac computer.
The Boot Camp Assistant app and this guide walk you through the steps needed to create a
Windows partition on your Mac and then restart your Mac using your Windows installation disc.
Then, follow this guide to install Windows and install software drivers that let Windows work
with your Mac hardware.
You install Windows with an installation disc you provide. On some Mac computers, you can
use a USB ash drive that contains a Windows 7 or Windows 8 ISO image downloaded from
Microsoft. Boot Camp Assistant helps you burn the image to the ash drive.
If you want to upgrade the version of Boot Camp or Windows on your Windows partition,
you don’t need to use Boot Camp Assistant. Instead, click the Finder icon in the Dock, choose
Help > Help Center, then search for “upgrade Boot Camp” or “upgrade Windows.”
What you need
•
A printed copy of this guide, which contains information you need to refer to when
installing Windows.
•
The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac. (If they aren’t available, use a
USB keyboard and mouse.)
To install Windows with an installation disc, you need the following:
•
A built-in disc drive or a compatible external optical drive.
For information about using your Mac with an external optical drive, see the documentation
that came with your Mac.
•
An installation disc with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7
Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8, or Windows 8 Pro.
You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc. You cannot use an upgrade version
of Windows.
•
An external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).
After you install Windows, you need to install support software that lets Windows work with
your Mac hardware. You can download the support software to an external drive. To format an
external drive as MS-DOS (FAT), use Disk Utility, located in the Other folder in Launchpad.
