Is your Mac intel-based? Does it have OS X 10.6 or later?
Got a built-in optical disc drive or a compatible external optical drive?
Got one of these? (doesn't matter which, you NEED one if you want a genuine copy, other wise torrent might be your best bet)
Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later
Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate
Windows 7 Home Premium (<-- I have this), Professional, or Ultimate
You can use a 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 with any of these
Mac computers:
A Mac Pro or MacBook Pro introduced in early 2008 or later
An iMac or MacBook introduced in late 2009 or later
Other than that, it's gonna be 32-bit.
If all of those check off:
1. Open Bootcamp Assistant. Select Windows partition (C: drive ofc, windows is only C
2. Create partition, spread HDD space evenly (Or just enough to support several games, most games now-adays are 20+GB.
3. Install windows.
4. Install the
CORRECT drivers. You absolutely positively need the drivers.
Should be good from there.
