I have a new MacBook Air running OS Sierra. I want to install Win 7 using bootcamp. The version of bootcamp on my Mac is Bootcamp 6. When I tried to install Win 7 it said I could only install Win 8 or later. I downloaded bootcamp 5.1 from the App Store. Can I use it to install Win 7.. If not how do I install Win 7. CAN IT BE DONE?
MACBOOK AIR (13-INCH, 2017), iOS 10.3.3
Sorry guys, but the definitive answer is "no."
Essentially the Bootcamp software provides compatibility drivers for your Mac hardware to / for Windows. And certain vintage hardware literally only has driver support for newer, specific versions of Windows.
Refer to Apple's official list of supported Windows versions for each Mac - those are hard-and-fast rules that cannot be broken.
No. Your 2017 Mac does not support BC Assistant 5.x or BC drivers 5.x.
The older version of Boot Camp won't have the drivers for your new computer. So the answer is the same as that already provided above.
I have the same problem, I have a 2017 MacBook Pro running bootcamp 6 and it's telling me I can only install WIN 10, is it possible to delete bootcamp 6.0 and install bootcamp 5.1 so that I can then install WIN 7?
1. No.
2. Use a program such as Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or VirtualBox.
