Q: DIFFICULT TO FIND INFO!

13" Macbook Pro late 2011 is ONLY Laptop that does NOT support Windows 8 even though I had an update stating it included Bootcamp 5? Took a lot of digging to find the info....but not much use after you have aready paid for full version Windows 8...and unable to return after you have tried to install!! Totally disgusted that Info is not easier to find...but then Apple do dot want any competition sadly!

    I don't know where you got your info that your computer does not support Windows 8. It is included in this easy to find list: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 I provided the list below for you. The numbers refer to Bootcamp version.

     

    Here is the Bootcamp support page which also includes additional info: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
