I'm planning to buy iMac Late 2012. I'm going to order with maybe 1TB Fusion Drive and wanted to ask if it will work with windows... So what do you guys think?


thanks, Enes

A computer with Fusion Drive works properly with Windows on Boot Camp. Only iMacs with 3 TB Fusion Drive have problems to install WIndows on Boot Camp.


Before using Boot Camp to install Windows on the Mac, see if you need a virtual machine or Boot Camp > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Also, note that you will have to install Windows through a USB drive, or buy the USB SuperDrive if you have Windows on a DVD

It's the same as installing Windows through a DVD, but with a USB drive.


To make a USB drive with Windows, you need a 64-bit Windows 7 version on an .iso image. You can get this if you purchased Windows 7 on the Microsoft Store.


If you have Windows on a DVD, the easiest way is to buy the USB SuperDrive and you will save a headache trying to copy the Windows DVD onto a USB drive
