Hi. I Just wanted to know whether anyone has tried the temporary bootcamp *fix* on their 3TB Fusion Drive, and does the iMac successfully boot into Windows with full spec. Thanks
iMac
What do you mean "Full Spec"?
IIRC to use BC to install Windows you must first break up the Fusion drive, Partition the spinning HDD with BC, install Windows, and then Re-Enable the Fusion drive.
Why don't you give it a try and post back with the results.
Yeh sorry I should have been more specific. By full spec I meant by booting into Windows, will I still obtain the full 3.4ghz processing speed and 2GB GPU etc.
I have not ordered my iMac just yet, but will be in the next few days. Like most people, I am drawn between getting the 1TB Fusion or 3TB. The only problem is I use bootcamp a lot, yet I would much prefer the 3TB.
So was just hoping this guide would work as apple have not clearly stated whether they will be updating bootcamp.
Sure you will.
If you use Boot Camp a lot then your main OS is Windows. Why not just buy a Windows computer? Seems a little silly to spend all that money on a Mac then run Windows as the Main OS. You can get just as good, if not better, speced system in a Windows PC.
Also that guide does not mention anything about the Fusion, just the 3TB Hard Drive.
Well I use Mac as my main OS for doing my work and I much prefer Mac OS X anyway. Just wanted the bootcamp for gaming really.
I used this guide, and it worked like a dream (a dream with many steps, but still...) I'm on a 3tb fusion drive.
