I would like to run Win7 32-bit on my iMac 8,1.
I have a bootable USB-Stick to install Win7.
Does Boot Camp support the installation from USB-Stick?
Thanks
iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can only install Windows from a USB drive in one of these Macs:
- MacBook Pro with Retina display.
- MacBook Air.
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 and newer).
- iMac (Late 2012).
As you don't have any of those Macs, you have to install Windows through a DVD. Also, the only iMac that can install Windows using a USB drive only supports a 64-bit Windows 7 and 8 version with Boot Camp
