(Alternatively, if you run Windows Update, that would have downloaded from there, too). After the installation, when the computer restarted, Windows 7's Action Center appeared and pointed me to download the update for Nvidia chipset.

When I ran Boot Camp 2.1's installer, a message appeared, saying that there were known compatibility issues, but I decided to install it anyway. Boot Camp 2.1, despite the message, works fine with Windows 7 just make sure you run Windows Update after installing it. Once Boot Camp has installed, you will need to update it to the 2.1 version that can be downloaded here for Windows 32-bit and here for Windows 64-bit. This could be fixed simply by changing the properties of the installer file to make it run in Windows XP or Vista compatibility mode.

Now the trick is to install Boot Camp, which includes all the drivers and the Boot Camp control panel, and lets you control other functions of the laptop such as mouse, shortcut key, and the multitouch trackpad.Īpple includes Boot Camp on the OS X Leopard DVD however, I ran into an error stating that it required Windows XP or Windows Vista to run. It took about 30 minutes for me to get Windows 7 Ultimate RTM installed on the second partition (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions took about the same amount of time). You will have the option to do either an upgrade or a clean installation on the same partition). (If you have been using Windows XP or Vista on your Mac, you can just start the installation of Windows 7 from within the existing OS.

The application helps you resize the hard drive to create a new partition for Windows. First, you use the Boot Camp Assistant (which is found in the Applications\Utilities folder). Setting up Windows 7 on a Mac is easy, just as it is with Windows XP or Vista. I want address something here that's not very mainstream (yet): running Windows 7 on Intel-based Mac hardware, specifically on a unibody 15" MacBook Pro. You can read a lot more about the new operating system via our official review done by my colleague Seth Rosenblatt.

Version 2.0 of Boot Camp (included on the Mac OS X Leopard DVD) wouldn't run unless you make it run in Windows Vista/XP compatibility mode.
However, it is slower than Windows XP, except for the boot and shutdown times, where XP has always been a drag. The new OS takes less time to launch applications, and it's nice just to browse around its functions and features. Overall, Windows 7 offers a much more pleasant experience than Windows Vista. We tested the new operating system against Windows Vista SP2 and Windows XP SP3. The bad news is I have had to test it, which has been lot of work. This is, of course, a legitimate copy, not the leaked copy that you can download from the Internet. I have had Windows 7 Ultimate RTM (release to manufacturer) for a few days. Windows 7 rates my unibody 15-inch MacBook Pro at 5.3, which is very high for a laptop.
