So the drivers are locked into Lion and Boot Camp Assistant. Can you install one time only 3.3 as a full set? No. peeve.īoot Camp 3.0 - came out Aug 2009 barely built while Windows 7 RC was winding down and 'frozen' but not RTM even - and why '3.1 req'd for Windows 7' but did they replace 3.0? No. Just that Apple chargers $30 for the drivers. Installing graphic drivers: seems like it slowly is getting easier and better to install those now, may require Boot Camp driver 4.01+. The Mac Pro Early 2008 was the first Mac with full 64-bit UEFI too. Booting GPT requires EFI and Intel/MS and Apple officially adopted a UEFI standard late 2007 for 64-bit kernel boot mode, for MS starting with Vista SP1 64-bit in 2008.
Windows runs native, pure and simple but without the BIOS which was replaced with UEFI, which is now found being supported on some newer PC motherboads, often as a hybrid. There is no running the OS under anything, unless talking about VMs and Guest OS. GPT supports an MBR, there is always a 'protective MBR' already.
I have a lot of peeves with '95%' support for 'Windows on Mac' to replace the name Boot Camp which is and should be reserved for :īoot Camp Assistant - to assist in partition and install There use to be sub-forums, those are gone with the new 'Communities'
