Hi, i have an strange issue.
According to Apple Support my MacBookPro 13" Late 2011 doesn't support Windows 10 with BootCamp.
But
In BootCamp Assistant i can't install (create disk or install) Windows version lower then 10. BootCamp says that "This platform supports only Windows 10 64-bit."
So how can i install Windows version lower that 10??? (Win7 or Win8.1 for example)
MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12), 13'' Late 2011
If you recently upgraded to Sierra, please run the following two procedures
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
and check BC Assistant. The error message you see is erroneous.
Your Mac does not officially support W10 as it is not listed in Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . It also does not support USB Installers. The only reliable method of installing Windows is to use the built-in Optical drive and a physical DVD.
Thank You for Answer.
I did reset nvram and smc few seconds ago, but it didn't help. Still have only Win10 and above in BC Assistant.
Have you modified Bootcamp Info.plist?
yes, but i tried with modified plist and without it several times already.
P.S. All that i modified - USBBoot
Can you restore the original plist and run the two resets and check? Also, please try to use a W7/W8.1 DVD and check if partitioning is allowed.
Didn't help. Problem is still here.
Maybe this problem appears cuz i replace my superdrive with hdd?
You need to go back to the original hardware configuration. On your Mac, Windows must be on the main bay drive.
Bootcamp and PreWindows10
