Please, how can i install a bootcamp partition on my 250G solid state PBPro drive?
My old PowerBook Pro with a 1T drive had a bootcamp partition with Windows 7 installed. It recently died and I replaced it with a new 15" Retina PBPro that only has a 250G solid-state drive (a big mistake!!). But here I am and I have a Windows medical program that I need to run but really don't have room (even after moving everything I think doesn't need to be on the start-up drive off to an external drive) to safely install windows 7. How much can I move off? As it is I have my Photo libraries broken into separate smaller libraries and keep all but the one I actively need to work on, off the start-up drive. Any there options? Has anyone managed this?
Any ideas? How small can the partition be - I don't need to run many programs (possibly 3 small ones) and can trim extras from Windows? Or has someone figured out a way to install and then boot Windows from an external drive?
Thanks in advance for even reading this to see if you can help.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
