Hi,
I recently replaced my HDD with an SSD and the Superdrive with the old HDD. Is there any possibility to install Windows 8.1 with help of an external Superdrive or a bootable USB stick without removing HDD/SSD again?! Would be great!
Thanks,

win8.1 dont currently have support by bootcamp so it may not work
but one should be able to install windows in bootcamp using both an external optical drive or usb otherwise it would be bad news for mac mini and macbook airs which also don't have a build in optical drive

okay, thanks!
but I guess the bigger problem will be that the internal Superdrive is replaced and that there is not support for installing windows from an external optical drive if you had an internal drive before. Or am I false!?
But I will try to install windows 7, may be this works! Do you know wheather the upgrade from win7 to win 8.1 is possible?
I installed win7 64bit in bootcamp and upgraded it to win8 digitally and later on to win8.1
