Install Windows 7 on Mac OS X-BootCamp

I installed two Mac versions before. One is MBA, the other is MBP, and the other is the previous version of MacOS. Although it is also installed from Bootcamp, but it doesn't feel as simple as this time-one seems to have to find the driver to download, and the other seems to have to be installed on a CD (I'm not sure, after all, there will be a ready-made optical drive for me to use, so I didn't want to use a USB flash drive ).
Www.2cto.com this time his new MBA was bought, and the system was naturally the latest, so I felt some small changes. Because I want to write it down after installation, some of them are missing, but the process is very simple. It is not hard to understand it with the help of diagrams and explanations. 1. log on to MacOS (mac for short) and click Go → utility on the desktop:
2. Enter "Boot Camp assistant ":
3. After you come in, we will introduce it and continue directly:
4. This step needs to be described in detail, as shown in the following figure:
Since I installed Windows, it will be different from the one I installed before.
Yellow part: This part is not different. You need to provide the image (ISO file) and USB flash disk of the Win7 installation CD.
The red part: This part is not different. This option is necessary to download the driver of the MacBook in Win7 from the Internet.
Blue part: Maybe the color is more purple? Well, the difference is this one. Before installation, it must be "Install Windows 7". Because I have installed Windows 7, it is changed to "Remove Windows 7 ".
Generally, three items must be selected when Windows 7 is installed, and then continue. 5. I will not be able to proceed to the next step. Borrow the images I have obtained from the Internet.
There is another step before going to the image, select the storage location of the image file and Installation File of Win7 (here, it means that Mac unlocks the image file of Win7 and places it on the USB flash disk to make the USB flash disk boot ), note that the USB flash drive needs the FAT format. In the figure, this step is to divide the hard disk space, that is, how much space is left for MacOS and how much space is allocated to Win. If you plan to use Win frequently, you 'd better allocate more space to Win. 6. After that, it will pass by. In the future, it will basically be automatic: copy the image file of the Win7 installation disk to the USB flash drive → download "Windows support software" (this is the drive package that was previously found online and needs to be downloaded from the dial) → start the USB flash drive after restart and enter the Win7 installer. 7. You need to manually install Windows 7. Note that when selecting the installation location, you must select the partition where the file is "BOOTCAMP, exercise caution and compare the size of the space allocated to Win in step 1 and the size of the "BOOTCAMP" partition shown here. Format it to NTFS format. 8. At this time, Win7 should be installed. The following is how to install the driver.

I forgot the "Windows support software" for the first time, so I formatted the USB flash drive that was just used for installation, and used the driver genie in Win7 to download and install the driver. Most of the drivers are okay. The problems are Bluetooth and sound card. Bluetooth is not installed at all. The problem with the sound card is that the running status of the device is normal, and the horn icon in the lower right corner is normal. When playing the sound, the sound volume is even displayed, but there is no sound. Later I found that the "Windows support software" should be used to install the driver. Instead, I returned to MacOS and Bootcamp assistant. At this time, the steps are the same as those shown in the figure above (because I cut the figure in this process ). The difference starts from below. 9. Do not select "create Windows 7 installation disk" or "Remove Windows 7 "!

Why don't I explain it if you don't select one .... That is, select "download the latest Windows support software from Apple" in the middle, and click Continue. 10. Store "latest Windows support software" on a USB flash drive www.2cto.com

Because the MBA does not have an optical drive, this buddy did not buy an External Optical drive, so I still use a USB flash drive (in fact, it is quite good to use a USB flash drive, convenient, fast, and green ...), Note that the USB flash drive must still be in the FAT format. continue to the next step. 11. Selecting the storage location is actually selecting the USB flash drive you inserted.
Sorry, I pulled out the USB flash drive when I cut this picture... So... In fact, the USB flash drive is located in the green area. You can select it. For the red part, the folder Name of the "latest Windows support software" in the USB flash drive. Do not change it. Continue.
Www.2cto.com 12, OK. I found that it was so far, and then it was automatically downloaded from the internet and automatically put it in the USB flash drive. After that, restart Windows 7 and install it. 13. Well, I finally took out the USB flash drive. This is the content saved after the download, totaling 683 MB.
There are instructions (Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide.pdf) in English. Just run setup.exe on zookeeper and start the next step until the installation is complete and restarted. There is nothing to read in this document. Www.2cto.com OKOK. In other words, the MBA user experience is really amazing!
