is there a way to install Windows 7 on an Calina iMac 27" late 2015.Bootcamp does not allow it since Mojave it only allows Win10.Downgrading my Mac to an Os before Mojave is as well as using Windows 10 not an option.(cause its ass).Using a VM is also noch practical in my case.I read about using older bootcamp versions or doing it completly youreself but could not find information on how to do that.
You do not have to downgrade to a earlier version of MacOS, you just need to install High Sierra in a new APFS volume in the same APFS container that Catalina is using. You can download High Sierra by accessing the link on the Apple website How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra. After High Sierra finishes downloading, you will get the following popup message. You can click on Quit to exit the installer.

Note: Apple documentations does state that the Windows 7 ISO should include Service Pack 1 (SP1). You can download a Windows 7 ISO with SP1 from the Microsoft website Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files).
Apple and Microsoft intended for Windows 7 to BIOS boot on Macs. The instructions given in this answer should install Windows 7 to BIOS boot. However, starting in 2015, Apple starting eliminating the ability for Macs to BIOS boot. This is why the links to download on the website Install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp end in 2014. In your case, you can either try installing Windows 7 without the Boot Camp Support Software (Window Support Software) or try the Windows Support Software that can be downloaded by using the Boot Camp Assistant.
If you have a Windows 7 product key, then you may be able to use this product key to install and activate Windows 10 for free. When asked for the Windows 10 product key, just substitute your Windows 7 product key. The latest Windows 10 ISO can be downloaded from the Microsoft website Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File).
Greetings. I am in the process of trying to get windows 7 onto my MacBPro, running 10.9.4. I have purchased Windows 7, downloaded it & have an .iso file.I followed the instructions in bootcamp(gotten all proper windows updates) and utilized your bit of code to get bootcamp to create a bootable disc from the iso file and put it on a USB, which it does successfully. When I proceed to partition my drive through bootcamp, it stops me & says there is no bootable disc detected, pls install disc.Through my research I have also installed rEFIt and using disk utility partitioned my drive and bypass bootcamp. When I start my mac, I get the rEFIt option to install windows from my USB, but in doing so it cannot find the BOOTMGR file.Any assistance would be greatly appreciatedIra
I have Installed WIndows 8.1 using your method..But when i install Bootcamp Drivers..It installs them for a while and then screen goes black (when it is installing graphic drivers) and nothing happens eventually i have to restart my mac and then after the windows logo again that black screen appears..!Any Suggestions ?
Hi. I already downloaded windows 8.1 (64-bit). And was in the process of making a bootable usb with the boot camp assistant but it prompts me with this message: Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation. I have a Macbook Air 10.9.2-early 2014. Please help. thanks
Hi Eric,Yes it is free and you should be able to get all the boot camp drivers here.Boot camp driversAlso the last part of this video should give you some idea how to install them.How to remove a bootcamp partition and install Windows support software from Apple.CheersMatt
ok awesome! I watched the video but when it asks where you want to save the installation file you chose USB. Do i choose USB as well to transfer to my iMac? Because I can only install windows with an ISO file but my iMac does not have a DVD drive. and when you enter the product key while on PC, will it start to download windows to that PC?
Got it to work, but one problem! On my PC when I went to this website and clicked create media installation, I chose ISO file and saved that ISO to my flashdrive, which I then plugged into my iMac so I could use that ISO in Bootcamp. Everything installed except the bootcamp drivers never came up during the installation so I cant connect to the internet while in windows 8.1. Was I not supposed to create an ISO file?
Amigo sou Brasileiro, e queria sua atenção. Pelo Boot Camp não consegui de jeito nem um estalar o windows 8.1 pois optei em particionar meu HD com 20 GB no formato do windows e dar o Boot na maquina direto pelo pendrive, estalei tranquila mente o windows, mas fiquei sem som e sem internet, tem algum jeito de baixar esses drives pelo Mac e passar parra o pendrive depois escutar no windows ? Ou seja agora estou com windows e o OS X como opção de boot mas o windows não funciona som nem internet.
I have a couple of questions. If I back up my data with an external hard drive, can I use only one external hard drive for both Yosemite and Windows 8?And if I decide to remove the boot camp partition and reinstall it, will I be allowed to use the same product key for windows 8 as I did the first time?
Hey, I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro and I have Windows 8.1 downloaded onto it through bootcamp assist. I tried downloading the driver BootCamp5.1.5640 and it says that this driver doesnt work for this computer model. I was able to go in and manually add some and some worked (like the volume, bluetooth, etc), but the wifi DOES NOT work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Yohan,See my reply to Davey.Hi Davey For the time being see if you can use a USB mouse and keyboard. The thing to check would be the device manager and see what drivers are missing. Then use the boot camp downloads to see if the devices will disappear. Try using an older version than 5.1.5640. Cheers Matt

Thank you for the Bootcamp Assistant! I bought an Apple iMac from 2010 but Apple only gives the bootcamp assistant for Windows 7 and not for Windows 10.The W7 Bootcamp drivers do not work with W10.
Hola, compre un MacBook Pro con sistema operativo windows 10 pro, no estoy seguro del modelo creo que es una 8.1 del 2012 o 2013, estaba encantado con su funcionamiento pero cuando traté de conectarme a mi tv con un cable HDMI mediante un adaptador por el puerto thumberbolt no pude hacerlo, parece que el puerto quedó deshabilitado al instalarle windows, por favor alguien que sepa que debo hacer
Apple have at long last provided not only direct download links for Windows drivers, but also tables of which link you need for each model/year. If you can work out which model of apple you have, you can now get the direct download link from the apple site.
You're stepping into the realm of the unsupported, so you're at your own risk here. What you can try is: get the download you think you want; open it with 7-zip; Now instead of running the installer, open the Folder that contains the individual driver installers. Run each of those. If it doesn't work, you can uninstall from the Windows Control Panel and try again with the drivers Apple said you should use.
Ah. Thats sad. You may be looking for the impossible. Your last hope is probably to try this page on older Mac models -encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers For models older than that, you're in the era before BootCamp downloads, and you probably need an OS X Leopard or earlier install CD.
Hi Andrew,If you have an older Mac, follow the instructions at -encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers. If your Mac is on the list at the top of this page, then click the apple link at the top of the page.Cheers,Chris
Before we get started installing Windows 7 on Mac, the first step is to get or download a Windows 7 disc image. You can rip it from Windows 10 installation DVD or download the trial from Microsoft web site. Don't worry too much. This is much easier on a Mac computer.
Now click this link that leads to the Windows 7 ISO download page. And input a valid Windows 7 product key to activate the download. After that, select the lanague and Windows 7 version before the downloading process begins. However, if you didn't have a license key, you can download the ISO from other file hosting websites.
Once Windows 7 ISO is downloaded, the next move is to burn the ISO to USB. Since the majority of users may not have a lot of technical knowledge on how the burning works, it is highly recommended that you use third-party app like UUByte ISO Editor so that you can accomplish the installation with minimal effort. UUByte ISO Editor is one of the best applications in the world for burning ISO files to USB as well as creating bootable media for installation purposes. 2ff7e9595c
