Update your Mac to Windows 10 with Apple Boot Camp
Apple Inc. is rolling out a new version of Boot Camp that will bring Windows 10 support for Macs with OS X Yosemite installed. Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 can be upgraded according to Apple, but is offering a how to guide if you are if you are starting from the beginning.
In a blog post Apple writes, “Windows 10 is available from Microsoft as an ISO file, an installation DVD, and a USB flash drive. You need an ISO file of the 64-bit version of the Windows 10 installer to install Windows on your Mac. If you don’t have an ISO file, you can use Disk Utility to make one from your Windows installation DVD or USB flash drive.”
Apple explains that it is possible to upgrade an existing Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, but also provides full instructions for how to start from scratch. If you are installing from scratch Apple warns that users should be aware that they are using the Windows Installer for full installation and not an upgrade installer.
If you’re already using Windows 10 on your Mac be sure to download Boot Camp’s latest Windows support software so that you’ll have the most up to date drivers.
