Q: how downgrade boot camp to install windows 7 x32

Good morning!

I have mac mini (late 2012)

Yosemite

boot camp v 5.

Apple support site tells me that it's possible to install win7 x32 (I do need this version)

but "use the previous version of boot camp"

question: how to downgrade boot camp to version 4.*.*

With regards

Igor

You will a version of OS X that has Bootcamp v4 to boot from. You can install the appropriate version of OS X which supports v4 on an external disk using OS X: Installing OS X on an external volume - Apple Support. Boot from this new volume and install WXP.

Thank you for your advise. Now I'm testing Parallels desktop 8.
win7 x32 has been installed without any problems on yosemite and
win update is in progress for 3 hours.

my window's programs are running correctly and rather fast.

I hope this is the best choice and
the case is closed.

with regards
Igor
