Bootcamp on Mid-2012 MPB 15": This Mac only supports Windows 7
Hoping someone can help. I have a Mid-2012 MPB 15" (A1286). Bought it direct from Apple with a few extra add-ons (fastest CPU, 7200RPM 750GB drive, HD screen... not Retina).
Being an architect and developer I need to run Windows in Bootcamp from time to time. I have been having some issues running Windows 8 and recently saw that the latest Bootcamp should support it.
I have all patches applied yet when I run Bootcamp Assistant and get to the point of it starting I get a pop-up that states "This Mac only supports Windows 7." Then it asks if I want to continue. I have checked the support machines and mine is pretty much the latest MPB non-Retina model. What is going on?
I have 10.8.3 and I checked the Bootcamp Assistant version is 5.0.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure this goes well.
I have used Parallels but sometimes I really need to go native for tasks for performance.
Thank you so much,
Vince
