Q: "earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp" with bootcamp 5.1.2

Hi everyone !

I have a problem about installing window 8.0 pro 64-bit with bootcamp ( v5.1.2 ). When I finished setting up, Bootcamp shows me a message as " earlier versions of windows are not supported boot camp " although I'm using bootcamp with 5.1.2 version. How can I resolve it ? My mac is mgxa2 mid 2014.

Thanks a lot !

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Thanks for supporting to me .

According to "Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Supports" If I use bootcamp version equal or greater than 5, so I can do it. But my current bootcamp likes that. So why not ? . In the first time I set up though bootcamp , it's good but now it always shows that message .
