I recently got my old MacBook Pro (13" Early 2011) back, and for some reason it only allows Windows 7 to be installed via BootCamp, but I can upgrade later to Windows 10 completely fine. Does anyone know the reason behind this? Is BootCamp limited on older models?
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
bootcamp is
1 a setup tool on osx
2 a bootloader which can load the os of the users choice
3 a packet of drivers for the mac spec features in windows
the reason older models are not supported officially is 3 making and maintaining and troubleshooting windows drivers for older models would likely be costly
I too like you installed win7 on my mid 2011 imac and then upgraded from 7 to 10 but the tool beside the clock in windows stopped working and windows could no longer access the osx hd and likely some other features that I did not take advantage of because I did not use the apple keyboard or touchpad
over time windows began taking long to boot, last windows update made windows stop booting at all
Windows 10 not supported on MacBook Pro (13" Early 2011)?
