Apple to Windows 7 Users: It’s Time to Move On

Posted: 22 Mar 2015 09:03 PM PDT

Boot Camp

The latest MacBooks don't support Windows 7 installation via Boot Camp

It has now been more than five years since Windows 7—the most widely used desktop operating system out there—first walked into our lives, promising to right Vista's many wrongs. Although it has carried the workhorse mantle previously associated with XP pretty well, the OS is proving to be more durable than Microsoft would like. The Redmond-based company would, of course, like nothing more than for all the Windows 7 users out there to move to Windows 8/8.1 or the forthcoming Windows 10 en masse. But it's not alone as even its arch-rival Apple apparently thinks the OS has overstayed its welcome.

The company's latest MacBook Pro and Air models no longer support Windows 7 installation through the Boot Camp Assistant utility that has come built-in with Mac OS X since 2007. Boot Camp, for those who don't know, enables Mac users to install Windows on their Intel-based machines for dual-booting.

This is not the first time that a Mac device has hit the market with Boot Camp support for Windows 7 disabled, though. The last instance dates back to 2013, when the company launched a Mac Pro workstation with support for only Windows 8.

Windows-loving Macheads intent on avoiding Windows 8/8.1 like the plague can get around this by running Windows 7 in a virtual machine. Or, alternatively, just bide your time and wait for Windows 10.
