Hi,
I'd like to install and run win10 next to ElCapitan On my late 2015 5k iMac
MY upgrade path is from win7 pro x64 ( i have a fresh licence key)... but BootCamp didn't accept the ISO. (wants Win 8+) which i don't have :-(
TO my information i 1st MUST install win 7 bevore i can upgrade or make a clean win10 installation.
What do I have to do?
regards,
TObias
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
Your 2015 iMac does not support Windows 7. Apple considers it a legacy OS and no longer allows it on 2015 Macs. You may need to return the W7 license and buy a W10 license. The other option is to buy a W8.1 license and upgrade.
Thanx for the quick answer - although not the one i hoped for.
Would be nice if apple updates the list of compatible iMacs - the mid 2015 5k model is the last one listed and fine with win 7...
20 bucks for nothing :-(
..nevertheless, when reading other posts i better postpone installation.
Based on Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support, you are correct, because it has
iMac
| Mac model | Windows 7 64-bit |
Windows 7 32-bit |
Windows Vista 64-bit |
Windows Vista 32-bit |
Windows XP 32-bit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iMac (Retina 5k, 27-inch, Mid 2015) |
5 | - | - | - | - |
| iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014) |

but if you look at
MacBook Pro
| Mac model | Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 7 32-bit | Windows Vista 64-bit | Windows Vista 32-bit | Windows XP 32-bit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) |

| MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) |

there are no 2015 models. I suggest you provide a Product Feedback and ask Apple to correct the information.
Good catch. ✅
I can´t see my imac model 5k, 27" late 2015 imac in the list. Have you fixed the problema and now, does bootcamp support windows 7 in this imac???

Your Late 2015 iMac does not support W7.
Hi. Anyone got do a workaround and got to install Windows 7 yet onto a Late 2015 5k iMac?
Thank you. Merry Christmas and a happy new year. God bless. Proverbs 31
Either use a VM for W7 or use third-party cloning tools, which may not always work properly. 2015 iMacs do not support legacy BIOS mode.
