This is the iMac 2007 spec just in case anyone is not aware: IMac 2007 – 8 year-old technology that is just as good in year 2015 Unfortunately a 32bit OS cannot take full advantage of the 4GB of ram and a 64bit OS is required. So running anything beyond this means you are on your own when it comes to having issues. Apple says the iMac only can run up to Windows 7 32-bit. Many people have installed Windows 7 32bit onto the iMac 2007 and many people have also successfully upgraded this to Windows 8.1 32bit.
Apple officially supports Windows 7 32bit running on a bootcamp partition. While BootCamp 6 is great for those people who are lucky enough to buy or own any Mac later than 2012, it is not so useful for people like me who are still using older desktop such as the 24″ iMac 2007.įor the iMac 2007, the BootCamp support stops at version 4.
See here: Įssentially BootCamp allows Windows to be installed on another partition (called the BootCamp partition) on the same Mac hard drive (or SSD) this allows the user to easily dual boot the Mac between MacOS and Windows. Following the release of Windows 10, Apple has also updated their Windows 10 support via BootCamp v6.
