Unable to install windows 8 in my Macbook pro 13" .. after the upgrade ..:(

I have updated my Mountain Lion (10.8.3) yesterday .. which includes the latest Bootcamp update which allows the user to install Windows8.

Am unable to install Windows8 .. "Windows 8 is not supported on this Mac" .. My MacBook Pro is ..13-inch, Mid 2010.

Any idea ????

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities


See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Mid 2010 and newer MacBooks Pro support Windows 8, except the Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro, so unfortunately, you can't install Windows 8 officially on your computer.


However, Windows 8 is completely compatible with your computer, but Apple didn't want to provide compatibility for your MacBook. There are some guides in Macs forums (I think there's one here) that helps you to install Windows 8 on your unsupported computer through Boot Camp, installing the Boot Camp drivers, too. Do that at your own risk
