Two Thunderbolt Displays in Windows 7 - MacBook Pro

My setup is:

MacBook Pro 15" October 2011

2 x 27" Thunderbolt Display


When trying to run in Windows 7 one of the Thunderbolt Displays does not show. Is there a work-around which does not involve loading up Mac OS?


I exclusively use Windows 7 (a lot of business software) so as of now I have a very expensive paper weight. 😟

Old post, but no, you still cannot drive 2 Thunderbolt screens in Windows on MBP.

Switch out (or sell) 1 TBDisplay, and get a Cinema display instead.


Use 1 Thunderbolt display (for USB hub and LAN connection), and then use 1 Cinema display as the 2nd screen. You can chain the USB ports, but not the displays, so you do have 1 extra connection to the MBP, but that's fine.


Windows 7 will (natively) drive this setup without problems.
