Can I install Windows from an ISO image?
To find out if your Mac supports that feature, open Boot Camp Assistant, then click the Continue button. If you see a checkbox labeled “Create a Windows 7 or later install disk,” your Mac can install Windows from an ISO image.

Nov 30, 2014 6:33 AM in response to Loner Tby Bizzenwoof,It doesn't have that feature because on older macs with an optical drive it says I have to have an install disc. Is there maybe a third party program or something? (besides Parallels or VM Fusion)
