I need to use Windows for dental school programs and was wondering if it would void AppleCare warranty if I completely remove OSX and install Windows 7.
MacBook Air
why dont you keep OS X and install WIn 7 via bootcamp? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1461
I don't want this to turn into an OS debate, but I would prefer just 1 OS just to get things done. I love the hardware, but I was just afraid that removing OSX would void warranty. Thanks for the input though.
No it doesn't void the warranty but since this is Apple hardware, you need Apple's drivers for video and the trackpad, for example. There's no other source I know of. And to get Apple's drivers you need BootCamp. And for BootCamp you need OS X. I know several people who think Apple's notebooks are the best Windows computers - and all of them keep a minimum OS X partition so they can keep current with Apple's drivers for Windows.
That actually is not true, you can download a zip of the boot camp installation drives and save it to a removable media. You can load windows 7 by just booting into dvd or usb, it may say in the HD settings that it cant be installed but after you remove all partitions then you can install windows 7 like any other computer.
Does removing OSX and installing just Windows 7 void my warranty?
