Applications :: BootCamp - Full Version Or Upgrade Version Of Windows 7?

Jun 17, 2010

In order to install Windows 7 via bootcamp, do you have to use the full version of windows or can you use the upgrade disc to install? I figured I should ask before buying another license as I have an upgrade version of Windows 7 Pro that I don't use. I do own previous versions of Windows (all of them....just like I do Mac OS).

Jan 22, 2009

I have a Macbook Unibody 2.4 and an iMac Aluminum 2.8 C2E. I just wanted to play around with Windows 7, not cause any serious issues, and just, you know, try it out; not do any serious testing. For my purposes, do you think Im better off downloaded the 64-bit of 32-bit version? And which computer will handle windows 7 better?

Windows On Mac :: The Windows Version Of The Trackpad's Driver Poorly Implemented?

Nov 8, 2010

I am using a MBP 17" (2010 model). The trackpad functions very well under Mac OS/X.However, under Windows Vista 64-bit, it does not behave as if it were under Mac OS. For example, even I did not click on the trackpad, it did it by itself. Is it a driver problem or setting problem? I know that under bootcamp, we can change the trackpad settings. If it is the latter case, could anybody please let me know the configurations/settings that allow the trackpad to behave exactly the same it does under Mac OS/X?

Mac :: Which Version Of Windows Is Best For My Mac Pro

Jun 16, 2009

This isn't about help with the install process, WGA or how to fix anything. It's an opinion thread. Computer involved is a Mac Pro quad 2.66 (2009) with the GT120 (which I'll upgrade to the 4870 in due course) and 6GB RAM. I have a professional disdain for Windows but want to install it, and would like affirmation that I'm picking the right one. This is partly for work use when I'm testing Windows apps we've produced (20%) and gaming via dual boot (80%). I'll mostly be running OSX though.

Mac :: Which Version Of Windows 7 RC Is Best For Me

Jun 24, 2009

After about an hour of trying to fix my Vista 32bit installation (it wouldn't boot up), I decided to forget about it, and delete the Bootcamp partition. So now I'm interested in Windows 7 RC. I have an early 2009 iMac with 4gigs of RAM. Is it better to install the 64bit? I won't be doing much on the OS other than some casual gaming (Battlefield Heroes, and Street Fighter 4 when it comes out).

Mac :: Windows 7 OEM Version?

Aug 28, 2009

I've been looking online this afternoon to buy a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium OEM for my iMac. Is this not going to be available in the same way as it's been available for previous iterations of Windows? I'd really like to save the money, as I'd only ever want to install it on my iMac rather than ever transferring the license.

Windows On Mac :: How To Choose The 32 Or 64 Bit Version

Jan 19, 2009

I'm about to install Windows Vista Ultimate (boot camp), but I don't know if I should choose the 32 or 64 bit version.

I'm talking about my unibody MBP 2,8ghz 4GB RAM.

I know only the 64bit can use all 4gigs of RAM installed, but maybe there are some other things I should know about too?

A while ago, a list was posted here with all software compatible with Vista x64 (but I can't find it again unfortunately) Can anyone post a link to that list too?

Windows On Mac :: Os X Version Of DOSBox A CPU Hog?

Jun 29, 2009

I have a general question about DOSBox.

I'm a new Mac owner after ten years on the Windows side. When I run an ancient MS-DOS version of the game Empire with DOSBox on a WinXP desktop machine the process barely registers in the Windows Task Manager. When I run the same game with DOSBox on my new 13" MacBook Pro it uses about 30% of the processor and makes the laptop run noticably warm.

Is the Mac OS X version of DOSBox a CPU hog or is this normal for laptops? I'm also wondering if I'm comparing apples and oranges with a Dell desktop vs. the MacBook Pro.

I've tried reducing the CPU cycles DOSBox uses but that hasn't had much effect.

OS X :: If I Have 64 BIT Bootcamp, Do I Need A 64 Bit Version Of Windows

Dec 20, 2009

I'm new to the forum - I would usually just ask my boyfriend for help with this, but since it's his Christmas present I can't (lol) and this was my first stop for help!I'm trying to buy him Windows Vista for his Mac. He has an older 13" white Macbook, nothing special. He downloaded Snow Leopard for the 64 bit support, and has (as far as I'm aware) downloaded the drivers for Bootcamp and all that jazz. He has a version of windows now, but he needs a new one.

Windows On Mac :: All IE Version On Mac OS Solution?

Jan 28, 2010

I'm looking for a way I can run multiple versions of IE (preferably side by side) inside OS X (So, using Wine). I previously tried ies4osx but when I launched them it would always load up IE5. Now that project is gone to make way for WineBottler, but I haven;t had any success using it. I've tried installing MultipleIEs, and then running the shortcuts on my desktop with Wine but I've only managed to open IE3 which crashed after a few minutes.

I'm thinking an easy solution would be, if there are some standalone .exe files for each version of IE to date, which have all the support files (dll's, etc.) bundled in, I could then use WineBottler to make a .app for them and then I can launch them and use them like any other native Mac OS .app, no worries. Only problem is, I can't fine such standalone versions of IE anywhere, MultipleIEs install all the support files in a folder and presumably required some of the system32 files too... So can somebody let me know if there are such standalone executables for IE versions 3, 4, 5, 5.5, 6, 7 & 8 ? Otherwise any other working solution would be fantastic.

OS X :: Which Version Of Windows OS Should I Get With A Parallels Load

Jan 8, 2009

I was given Parallels for Christmas (I asked for it...) to install on my new Macbook. I have a windows based cell phone that I wanted to be able to load music, calendar, etc and be able to work it with my Macbook. Curious to know what Windows OS I should get to load in Parallels? I won't be needing anything exotic for my job or anything, just basic Windows functionality. Been so long since I worked with Windows, don't know which would be ideal for me. I have seen 32-bit-/64, Basic, Premium, Windows XP or Vista, etc. Can anybody give me their best recommendation

Mac :: Boot Camp With Windows XP OEM Version?

Mar 15, 2009

I am planning to run Windows XP on my Macbook using Boot Camp and I have not yet bought my copy of Windows XP. My question is, is it better to buy a "full purchase product" (FPP) or an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version of Windows? The OEM version is about $80 less than the FPP, but does not have Microsoft support and is really not intended for consumer use.

Mac :: Which Version Of Windows Should I Install Via BootCamp

Jun 24, 2009

I just bought the high end macbook pro 13" (2.53 GHz) today and I have a question about which version of windows to install on the boot camp partition. I saw a couple of videos on youtube showing pretty smooth performance of GTA IV on a MacBook Alu 13" 2.4 ghz model using BootCamp Windows Vista SP1. I dont want to install Windows Vista SP1 just because of that video and I want to know which version could give me even better performance. Both official and unofficial windows versions of XP, 7 and vista are under consideration. I dont need windows for anything else, just for playing a couple of games.

Mac :: Best Windows Version For Gaming On A Macbook Pro?

Sep 17, 2009

I'm running Snow Leopard and am wondering what Windows version you all would recommend I run in Bootcamp with the sole purpose of gaming. I have access to any relevant Windows version at pretty low prices through my university and I downloaded the Win7 RC and still have a valid key for that. As far as I'm aware, Bootcamp does not officially support Vista OR Win7, but that may have changed since I last checked. I'm also curious about the 64-bit vs. 32-bit question.
