How to install Windows 7 RC on Boot Camp – Mac Dual Operating System


This is a step by step guide on how to download Windows 7 RC for free, burn it into a DVD, partition your hard drive, install it using boot camp, and select which operating system you want to use. This tutorial is fairly simple but please be very careful installing Windows. Although this tutorial shows how to do this with Windows 7, this tutorial will work if you want to install your own version of Windows you have also. From XP to Vista. If thats the case, skip the downloading and burning part of the tutorial, and advance to the part where I talk about going to spotlight and starting up the program called bootcamp. Then just substiture your your own Windows installation disk. Windows 7 will last till March for free. After March, it will shut down your computer after 2 hours of use. If you have any problems please let me know! Comment below! Thanks for watching!

    Can you do this without the DVD for Windows 7? In other words, using the downloaded file from Microsoft’s website??

    When I am partitioning my drive it says

    “Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again”
    What’s going on?

  15. On April 12, 2010 MrOnionRing says:

    why would it shut down your computer after 2 hours?
