Will need to find a good browser at some point. ![]() But the IE8 on Win7 is pretty much unacceptable to every website everywhere, so I installed Opera to get into the web. Rebooted into Windows 7, got full screen resolution, network, internet, everything. OK, booted into Windows on the BootCamped machine, ran the setup application manually and hey, presto! it all installed. I had another thumb drive that it would read, so I copied the files from the one it would not read to the one it would using my other MBP. It would NOT read a USB Thumb drive I had formatted to FAT on my other MBP and on which I had put the tools. It had no network, couldn't see the hardware, barely functioned. Found a KB article that said I could manually install them, so that was good, but I had to get them there in the first place, which turned out to be a bit of a saga. Nice, but not quite there as none of the BootCamp tools were installed, so I had to figure out how to get them installed. So I put it in and Windows installed and booted. It would NOT let me use the iso for the installation media, mounted or not. Don't know why I thought it was APFS, but anyway, back to the story. BTW, the APFS was a red herring, the drive is actually HFS+. After a couple of repeated warnings about Win10, it started, let me do the partitioning. When I got the "Cannot install Win10" message, I clicked on the button to make it go away and repeated the "Continue" button in BCA. How can I convince BCA that a Win7 disk is a Win7 disk? Is there a cleaner set of install directions for Win7 under HS? Anybody got a solution to this one? Do I need to burn the iso to the thumb drive and then put the Boot Camp folder on that drive? When I had the iso mounted I tried to copy the BootCamp downloaded drivers files to the iso, but it's read only and Get Info won't change it to read/write. Unmount install disk, eject it, mount iso from MS, repeat, same results. Can't find disk, put in disk, can't install 10. Go to MicroSoft, download their version of Win7 iso file, put it in place of my created iso on the USB thumb drive. Can't find the install disk (mounted image) so put the disk back in. Unmount and eject install disk, mount the. Who brought up Win10? What is going on?ġ1. ? I'm trying to install Win7, the disk is Win7. Oh, well, no problem, I pop it in the drive, wait for it to mount, click continue again and wait.ĩ. Curious, it's right there on the USB thumb drive where all the Boot Camp stuff is. BCA gurgles for a bit, then throws up a box saying it could not find the install disk. Fired up BCA, still not the same as the article, but hey, it's got an option for Installing Win7 or WIn8.1 where the third option in the image is, so check that, uncheck the download stuff box since I've already done that. Made an iso from my install disk for Win7 using Disk Utility, put it on the USB drive, also in the root.ħ. Followed directions and put the contents of the downloaded zip onto the USB thumb drive as directed.Ħ. ![]() Downloaded the associated file for 64-bit Win7, which is what I have. (Ominous music comes in here.) No matter. First problem, the article shows this image:īut that first option, the one checked, is NOT on my version of BCA. Went to Apple to search for anything more, got to this article on installing Win7 from HS. Fired up Boot Camp Assistant, read the directions and printed them off. I do have an install disk from MS (full retail), so should be a piece of cake, right?ġ. Thought I would install Win7 in a BootCamp partition on my early-2011 17" MBP running High Sierra.
