2007 Macbook & Windows XP Professional

Free_Loader · 03-05-07, 02:45 PM

I have a co-worker who wishes to know if you can install a new copy of XP Professional on the newest lines of Macbook without any issues? At this time she wishes not to buy a Dell Notebook or any other brand of laptop to run this OS. It is for work applications which currently only have support on Windows and connecting via VPN.

Thank you!

Yes it will work just fine, all you need to do is use Apple's bootcamp utility and follow the on screen instructions for it. After that it'll reboot and you can do the standard Windows Installation

Thank you very much. Was looking at that after searching google a bit and seems to be the way to go!

Everything you (or her) needs to know you can find here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/

It will run XP and it's applications perfectly. Well, as perfectly as any other PC out there.
