hi,
i need some help.
i have a macbook pro MD101
i am currently running windows 7 x86, i was planning on upgrading to windows 8.
i downloaded bootcamp 5, but on installation, it said, cannot install as i am running x86 of windows 7.
i have this information
bootcamp 5 supports only windows 8 x64.
i cannot install boot camp 5 till i dont install winodws 7 x64.
so how do i upgrade?
please help!!
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
bootcamp is 3 things
1. a bootloader which can startup osx or windows depending on what is set default or chosen if you hold down option at start up it's rarely changed at all
2. a program on osx to setup the partition of the harddisk making room from windows (this rarely change too)
3. apple verficed drivers for windows these can be downloaded as a zip from from apples site
I had windows 7 64bit runing in osx
I bought the digital update to win8pro and ran it from bootcamp win7 and did a few reboot and then I was running win8
since there was no official drivers from apple at the point it crashed at boot up at times
official apple drivers was released I downloaded the zip and updated the drivers and all was welll
then win8.1 came out I did the same thing and got the same result currently I have crashes at login at times but when it get in it's solid
when official 8.1 drivers will be released I will expect the crashes to stop like they did the last time
i am running windows 7 x86, how do i upgrade to windows 8
