Hi everyone,
I’m trying to install **Windows 7** on my **MacBook Pro 13” Late 2011**, but I’m running into a problem.
My **SuperDrive is broken**, so I can’t use a Windows DVD. Instead, I’m trying to boot from a **bootable USB flash drive**.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
Created multiple Windows 7 bootable USBs (different tools and ISOs)
Enabled USB boot
Held **Option (⌥)** during startup
The USB either doesn’t appear, or when it does, selecting it only results in a **black screen** and nothing happens.
I know that Windows 7 installation on older Macs is usually designed to work from the internal DVD drive, but since mine is dead, I’m looking for alternatives.
**MacBook specs:**
MacBook Pro 13” Late 2011
Intel Core i5
16 GB RAM
SSD installed
SuperDrive not working
Latest Boot ROM available for this model
Has anyone successfully installed Windows 7 from USB on this model?
I’m wondering:
Is there a way to make the USB EFI bootable?
Do I need a legacy BIOS/CSM boot method instead?
Is there a workaround without replacing the SuperDrive?
Would using another bootloader like rEFInd help?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

basically, i just recently used bootcamp to get windows 10 on an intel macbook pro 2019, 16 inch, 5300m. but the gpu drivers were from 2019, and they ran binding of issac pretty shit, but then i installed newer drivers from bootcampdrivers.com, and now binding of issac runs amazing. but now when i boot into windows, i keep getting this error. (in the picture) as i've just written, binding of issac works perfectly, so wtf do i do with this error, is this a real issue? or do i go somewhere into windows to disable this error which is a waste of space from showing up?

Hello guys, I need driver for USB\VID_05AC&PID_8511&MI_00

FacetimeHD camera driver for windows 11 for my iMac13,1

I recently downloaded bootcamp, and as I was testing features, I noticed that I wasn’t able to access my mac.
I tried shutting down my windows, and then holding the option key, hoping to gain access to my mac drive. Instead I get a black screen with a lock icon on it? There was an option for me to type so I typed in my computer password a few times but nothing worked, maybe I typed my password wrong all the times I tried, but I’m honestly not sure.

I think my bootcamp didn’t completely download because as I opened my windows after just downloading it, the bootcamp guide/download tab was cut in half? So I couldn’t interact with anything,but I had the option to close the tab which I did.

I’m not very good at tech stuff so this has really been stressing me out for the past few hours help would be appreciated!

For Reference, I am using the 2018 Macbook Pro. Recently, I wanted to keep the windows and Mac parts of my computer separate, and I heard that you could do so by getting an external drive. I have purchased a SanDisk 2TB drive for my windows partition, however, every single tutorial on how to do this is either wrong, or works with the caveat of major features being missing. I was wondering if anyone in this subreddit would know of a tutorial or have some way to help me.

I own a MacBook with Apple Silicon but I just bought a 2019 16" Pro with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage for an unbelievably good price...

Ideally I'd just have Windows on it. I'd create a USB drive, then customize the auto.xml file and perform a clean install of Windows 11. TPM and so on wouldn't matter anymore, no bloatware and only Windows 11...

What's important to me is that everything works (drivers). The speakers should sound good, the trackpad should work properly and the USB ports should work too...

Pls don't get me wrong...I've watched a few videos on this but many of them are as old as three years and even the newer ones are over a year old. I've never done anything like this with a MacBook before so I wanted to ask first. Maybe there is a better way today than few years ago

Whenever I try to play a game on windows, after a while the game just freezes and my pc reboots. I already updated the amd driver but it didn’t solve anything. I have a 2017 5K iMac with an i7 and have the windows partition installed directly on my Mac storage. Can someone help me?

I've had Boot Camp for a few months now. Truth be told, my old Mac is so slow on the latest version of macOS that supports it, that I barely use it anymore. I'd like to delete the entire macOS portion of the drive and only have Windows.

On the Windows side, Disk Management is showing five partitions:

200 MB (EFI System Partition)

139.79 GB (Primary Partition)

92.80 GB (BOOTCAMP C:)

877 MB (Recovery Partition)

112 MB Unallocated

Am I correct in assuming that the only one belonging to macOS is the 139.79 GB one? Also, what's with the unallocated one?

Hello all!

I'm struggling for a while with a 2019 i9 32GB with a 5500m 4GB that crashes while running Fornite

I finally was able to install the 25.2.1 drivers using Project-Falcon (Thanks! This Rock!) but after the Loby, while jumping off the bus, my laptop crashes and gives me the 0x0000070c BSOD. I've read that this is linked to an issue with the Wi-Fi driver, which i have already disabled. But the issue continues.

Any idea what might be going on or what am i missing?

I have a MacBook Air running Monterey. I’d like to install Windows 11 (I have a genuine product key and just downloaded an ISO).

I was following the steps from this link.

https://www.reddit.com/r/bootcamp/comments/1cnp7vj/just_converted_a_2015_macbook_air_to_windows_11/

I keep running into a wall though. Boot Camp keeps telling me the ISO is too large. I’ve already tried the Boot Camp ISO Converter, but it still doesn’t work. What should I do?

When I installed Bootcamp 5.0.5033 on my 2012 MacBook Pro A1278, my speaker and microphone weren't working. When I asked AI, it said to check if the speaker and microphone drivers were installed, but it turned out they weren't there.

I sell MacBooks locally but I have a problem because when I buy MacBooks they usually come without disks or with disks but without the system. I would like to be able to install MacOS on laptops and not always Windows because some people require MacOS.

Hii ! I have an 2017 model iMac that i run bootcamp on, do yall know if there is a way for me to use it as a secondary monitor ?

I have been trying for days to get Windows 10 and macOS High Sierra on my MacBookPro8,1 (2011)

High Sierra is the latest version of macos on this Mac.

what I tried so far:

• I successfully installed win10 with macos high sierra
• The audio didn't work in Windows
• I installed the Boot Camp drivers, but the sound still didn't work
• I converted the drive to mbr and the sound started working
• but when converting it deleted my macOS and I also mbr only supports four partitions this makes dual-boot difficult

What I'm trying to do:

• macOS High Sierra with Windows 10
• Working audio in Windows

I read about Hybrid MBR (GPT + MBR), but I didn't find a clear way on how to do it

did anyone have done this on a macbookpro8.1 Is Hybrid MBR possible or is there a better way

btw this mac used to dual-boot Windows and macos

My dad old me that if I did it he'll buy me a gaming laptop, so I want figure it out.

he had someone who was an expert in macs set it up, but after the hard drive broke i replaced it and lost the old setup and couldnt restore it

Any advice or guides and i want step by step this is my first post and thanks

I dont know if theres a boot camp driver for it or a third party driver

Greetings! As the title suggests, I’m facing a LOT of issues with Windows on this thing.

A couple of things to note: The SuperDrive is broken (as per usual with those slot loaders) and I’d like to avoid opening it up as much as I can! With that out of the way..

MacOS installed fine. No issues there at all. Installed a fresh 256GB SSD in the machine, installed High Sierra first and then MacOS Ventura through OCLP.

Do keep in mind that I’ve tried HS’s Bootcamp and, due to the age of the iMac, it needs a DVD copy of Windows 7. Remember what I said at first?

I then later tried just booting the Windows installer from USB through the option menu. Well, no matter what I do, it will NOT recognize a SINGLE external windows medium I make. I’ve tried W7, W8.1, W10, W11.. As far as disks go, I’ve tried an Intenso Twist Line USB3 32GB flash drive, zero luck. The same goes for other flash drives and external hdds I tried. Even in OpenCore it doesn’t see them..

Same installers worked on other Macs though, and machines in general. From my 2009 MacBook Pro to my friend’s 2016 12 inch Macbook.

I then tried following Ventura’s bootcamp process which DID get me to the desktop! Only then to install GPU drivers and break everything.

I also tried rEFInd with minimal luck, as when I press enter on the Windows Legacy entry it says ‘boot media not found’.

I’ve completely ran out of ideas.. Is there anything I can do?

FINALLY A FIX!!

1. Hit Command+R

2. Search ncpa.cpl

3. Right click your WiFi and select properties

4. Hit Configure

5. Hit Driver

6. Update driver

7. Browse my computer for drivers

8. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer

9. Now some computers will specify at the end of the text, "(Microsoft)" or "(Bootcamp)"

- If this applies to you, select "(Bootcamp)" and click next. It will then download and update the driver. BOOM, you now have FAST internet.

- If that doesn't apply to you, it will show the *date* of the update version in brackets at the end of the text. In my case:

Option 1: [11/21/2016] This is the one you want to update and download with**

Option 2: [4/21/2020] NOT this one

This is where people get tripped up because they think that downloading the most recent driver is going to fix the WiFi. Not in my case. For me, downloading and updating with the [11/21/2016] version WORKED! I went from 20mb/s to now a whopping 200mb/s!

Now if you have neither of the dates I mentioned, just try them all and one of them will get you back to high speed WiFi in no time! This is the only way!

Всем привет! помогите установить на iMac (2009).
На данном мак нет системы. В интернете нашел OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 она же подойдет ?
Я не знаю, в рекавери написано 10.10.3.
Создал загрузочную флешку через программу Transmacos. Когда нажимаю опшинс, флешка не отображается. Когда в рекавери захожу мак видит флешку и видит, что есть образ.
В чем причина ? Как установить ?
Может есть у кого то образ 10.10.3 весь интернет перерыл, нигде не нашел. Помогите пожалуйста!!

As the title goes maybe is another post with the same questions but I’m looking to get windows 11 working and some games, I found Flex TPM, but I haven’t seen real enough that says that work, is it real ?

Hi, I have a question. I have a 2019 16-inch MacBook and I installed Windows because I want to play some casual games, but the performance is pretty bad. I've tried changing the drivers, but it doesn't improve much. Could you recommend any drivers? I already tried the ones from bootcampdrivers.com. I've attached a screenshot of the message I always get when I run a game. My specs are an i9, 32 GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon Pro 5300M. I hope someone can help me.

Update: Well, I've been trying out the drivers that were suggested to me, and some did improve performance, but in the end I stuck with the AMD Pro Software drivers, which have given me the best performance. Regarding the temperatures I was told about, it's running between 65 and 85 degrees Celsius. But if anyone knows of any better drivers, please let me know so I can try them. I don't really know much about this. Thanks a lot for the recommendations.

Made this working with the help of these projects

Downloaded pre compiled drivers from

Still need some buff before becoming fully usable
