Boot Camp 5.1.5 Mavericks

Hi guys,


I am wanting to put windows 7 ultimate 64bit on my late 2011 MacBook Pro. I am using boot camp 5.1.5 which came with the mavericks update. I've looked up how do this on YouTube, however, their Boot Camp Assistant looks very different to mine. I have attached a picture to show what mine looks like. If somebody was able to explain to me how to do it, it would be greatly appriciated. User uploaded file

Unlike in all the tutorial videos I have seen, this doesn't have "Create a Windows version or later install disk" and I do not have a USB connected to the computer.


Once again, if somebody was willing to help me out, I would be very greatful. 🙂

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Hey b_med_,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.


The FAQ article will have more resources and should be useful.

Look at the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide document for step details on installing Boot Camp.

1 Open Boot Camp Assistant, located in the Other folder in Launchpad.

2 Select the option to install Windows, select other options you need, then click Continue.

Here are the other options you can choose:

If you want to install Windows from a USB flash drive and you have a Windows ISO image, select the option to copy the image to a USB flash drive. If this option isn’t available, your Mac doesn’t support installing Windows from a USB flash drive.

If you haven’t already downloaded the Windows support software for your Mac, select the option to download it. In a later step, you’ll install the Windows support software on your Windows partition.


3 Follow the onscreen instructions for the options you selected.

4 When you’re asked to create a Windows partition, specify a partition size.

If you need help determining the best size for your Windows partition, refer to your Windows installer documentation. For Windows 8, create a partition that is at least 30 GB.

In a later step, you’ll format the Windows partition.

5 Insert the installation disc for the 64-bit version of Windows into your Mac’s optical drive or external optical drive, or insert the USB flash drive with the 64-bit version of Windows into a USB port on your Mac.

6 Click Install.

Boot Camp Assistant creates the Windows partition, restarts your Mac, and opens the Windows installer.
