Bootcamp El Capitan Windows 7

Posted on |

Oct 01, 2015 El Capitan’s Boot Camp has USB drive-less Windows setup, but not all Macs are supported Christian Zibreg / October 1, 2015 Boot Camp, the Mac’s built-in software for dual-booting between OS X and Windows has been given some love in the new El Capitan software update and now features a slicker Windows setup that no longer requires a USB thumb drive, as discovered by Twocanoes. Prior to the new OS X El Capitan, users installing Windows on their Macs had to insert a USB Flash Drive so that Boot Camp Assistant can copy the Windows installer from an ISO disk image to the flash drive. After that, it would download and set up the Windows drivers to the correct location in the installer for the Mac hardware. I ran all the updates and put the firewall on. When everything was done I inserted the El Capitan SSD back and went to BIOS boot order. First to boot I put El Capitan SSD and second Windows 7 SSD then I booted to Clover boot screen. There is two option to boot from Windows, Legacy 1 and Legacy 2 and two option to OS X, normal and recovery. 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.

Hi,


I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate on my MacBook (13-inch Late 2009)using Bootcamp in El Capitan, it's been more than a week I'm struggling.


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:

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

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

Bootcamp El Capitan Windows 7 64-bit

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.

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?

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.
