Q: Mounted iso not okay?

Hi everyone.

I'm trying to get bootcamp working on my mbp 2011. I'm using El captian.

I have downloaded the iso from windows webpage and I mounted it. But bootcamp don't see it. So i guess next step is the make usb that contains that iso file from start or do I need the burn a dvd?

Second thing when I have googled to find a sulotion every pic has the text that begins with Install windows 8 or later......

I have install windows 7 or later.....

Can that be the problem?

with best regards/ bobin

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

You Mac supports W7. The language is not that critical. Are you using BC Assistant to install Windows on your Mac?

Please see How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support .

I would recommend W8.1 not Windows 8.

Your Mac should also allow you to Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

2011 models do not support Windows 10 due to lack of certified drivers. You may still be able to upgrade to W10.

The list of supported W10 Macs is

Your 2011 Mac will not support USB Installer using ISO. You need to use your internal built-in Optical drive and burn the ISO to a physical DVD. An external Optical drive will not work.
