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
Thanks mende1, but i need further information on how to install windows through a USB drive...
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
