OS X 10.8.3 adds Windows 8 compatibility with Windows 8, so now you can install Windows 8.


First of all, open  > Software Update and install OS X 10.8.3. Make a backup before updating. This will update Boot Camp, adding Windows 8 support.


The rest of the steps are just the same as for Windows 7. Open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps. If you have Windows 8 on a disc, you have to buy an external optical drive and use it to install Windows on your computer. If you have Windows 8 on a ISO, Boot Camp Assistant will provide you help to create a bootable Windows USB drive.


If you want all the steps to install Windows, read > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf
