On some older models, it is physically impossible to circumnavigate this.

Otherwise, continue reading.Īs stated before, bootcamp requires that you install Windows via a disk and not a USB. If you have a working disk drive, skip to step 2.
However, I found them here:, so be sure to download them after you install windows 7. They were taken down since Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft. NOTE: While in bootcamp, you will see an option to download the latest support drivers from Apple. This will create your Windows 7 32 bit installer. If you are on a Mac, all you have to do is select the ISO file you just downloaded, then go to File>Burn Disk Image “disk image name” to disk. If you are on Windows, right click the iso file and then click on "burn disk image". Once you have your Windows 7 32 bit ISO file downloaded, you can burn it to a disc by using the files app on Windows, or using the Finder on a Mac. If you really want to create a custom installer to run 64 bit Windows, check out this guide here. Yes, you can create a custom windows installer to make your Mac install a 64 bit version of windows, but that once again can get complicated when it comes to drivers. Most older Macs like the Late 2006 iMac only work with 32 bit versions of windows. To install Windows 7, you are first going to have to find a Windows 7 32 bit iso online. And if your disc drive is broken, keep reading because I have some fixes further down in the guide.
If you don’t have a disc lying around, you can easily make a Windows 7 install disc yourself. So Bootcamp on older Windows machines makes you install Windows 7 from a disc. If this doesn’t work, you may have to use a program called Orca to modify the MSI files and make them run in windows 10. When it comes to installing the drivers, follow this guide. However, if you are interested in trying to jump the gun and get windows 10 directly from a flash drive, here is a guide. Yes, you can duplicate your bootcamp application and change it around to let you install Windows 10 directly, but thats not what this guide is for because that can cause a whole slew of other problems when it comes to drivers. Okay, the first step to installing Windows 10 on your old Mac is to actually use bootcamp to install Windows 7 first. If you want to see what it looks like, I have my post here: This guide should work for almost every Mac out there that cannot directly install Windows 10 in Bootcamp.
