Does the USB need to stay in the computer every time you start up the windows side or only this once to install it?

So i followed what you said and it worked perfectly thankyou so much. However do you need to keep the USB in everytime you start up the windows section of the computer or will it start up fine once the support software is installed? meaning i can then take out the USB and use it for other things. Cheers in advance.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

Not sure who your talking to but to answer your question, no you don't need the USB drive anymore. After you install the Boot Camp drivers just use the Preferences/ Start Up Disk on the Apple side and chose Windows to boot to Windows. In Windows you should have the Boot Camp control panel (should be in the Tray also) and just select the Mac icon to boot back to the Mac side.


Don't forget, there is an Apple Software Updater in Windows so be sure to keep the drivers up to date.
