Q: How to install Windows 7 - 32 Bit

Hey Guys,

My name is Dave and i need to install Windows 7 (32 Bit) on my mac mini, running Mac OS El Capitan.

I already tried it with my bootcamp assistant but this program just accepts Windows (64 Bit).

Best regards

Dave

A:

Sounds like you have a 2012 or later Mini. Only the earlier model Minis (2007-2011) are supported for 32 bit WIn 7

Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support

You can install using Parallels. I have a 32 bit Win7 running fine.
