Black screen on MacBook Pro Touchbar after installing Windows 7 via Bootcamp
Fan is running at max
I’ve left computer for a while... still black
Did a hard restart, got back into MacOS... reset PRAM, SMC... rebooted, held option key to try Windows, selected Windows partition... still nothing
searched everywhere online, nothing worked
any ideas?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12
A TouchBar Mac does not support W7.
Is W7 a typo, instead of W10? 😕
The last Mac to support W7 is a 2014 Mac. See Install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.

Thanks - after reading your reply, I deleted the Windows 7 partition and ran a Windows 10 installation, which is looking good so far. I’m on the desktop now and I think it’ll be great.
I used to have a Retina MBP and it was great. The Touchbar isn’t bad. I don’t need Windows 7 specifically, I just find it more straightforward than Windows 10.
I really prefer using a Mac for my work, but I have to work with Windows environments a lot.
Looking good, thanks again for your help.
I tried to install Windows 7, not 10.
Please try W10. W7 is not supported on the 2016 and later models.
I see. Too bad. Thanks, I’ll run Windows 10.
If you really need W7, consider a used 2013-2014 model.
Nice! Please post back if you run into any further issues.
