Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems
Learn about the general requirements to install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp. Review the tables in this article to determine which Windows versions are supported with your computer.
Requirements for all Windows installations
To install Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, you need the following:
- An Internet connection
- An administrator account in OS X to use Boot Camp Assistant
- The keyboard and mouse or trackpad that came with your Mac (If they aren’t available, use a USB keyboard and mouse)
- A minimum of 2 GB of RAM, 30 GB of free disk space are recommended if you are installing Windows for the first time, or 40 GB of free disk space if you are upgrading from a previous version of Windows
- An authentic Microsoft Windows full install disc or ISO file
- A built-in optical drive, or a compatible external optical drive is required if you are using an install disc
- 8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) to install the downloaded drivers
Before you install Windows, you should use Software Update to make sure OS X and your computer's firmware are up to date.
Supported versions of Windows

Boot Camp requirements by Mac model
Use the table below to find out which version of Boot Camp and Windows are supported on your Mac:
- BCA: Use Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) to download the latest Boot Camp software for your Mac instead of manually downloading this software from the Apple Support website. The support software available from Boot Camp Assistant is newer than what is currently available as a manual download. Select the option to "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" in Boot Camp Assistant to automatically get the latest Windows drivers for your Mac as part of installation.
- 4 or 5: Click the link for your Mac model and Windows version to open the download article for the related version of the Boot Camp support software you need to install Windows on your Mac.
- DVD: For older Macs, Windows drivers are located on the Mac OS X installation DVD that came with your computer.
If you don't know which Mac you have, use the following steps to find out:
- From the Apple () menu, choose About This Mac.
- Click More Info. The Mac model is listed in the top-right portion of the window.
Downloading Boot Camp drivers
After learning which version of Boot Camp works with your version of Windows on your Mac, download the related Windows drivers for Boot Camp.
Use Boot Camp Assistant to download the latest drivers as part of setup. This is the easiest way to get the correct Windows support drivers for the computer and version of Boot Camp you are using.
You can also download Boot Camp 4 or Boot Camp 5.1 support software from the Apple Support website. Boot Camp 5.1 requires OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.3 or later.

How to install Windows using Boot Camp
Boot Camp helps you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac. After installing, restart your Mac to switch between OS X and Windows.
Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need.
- An Intel-based Mac
- A Microsoft Windows install disc or disk image (ISO) containing
- a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 or later*
- An Apple keyboard, mouse or trackpad, or a USB keyboard and mouse
- An 8 GB or larger USB flash drive that you can erase
- At least 30 GB of free disk space on your startup drive
*If you want to install other versions of Windows, check to see if your Mac supports this.
Check System Requirements
Some versions of Windows require a certain processor, and more hard drive space and memory (RAM) than others. Check the documentation that came with your copy of Windows to find out what you need. Then use System Information to see what your Mac currently has.
Create a disk image of your Windows disc
When you purchase Windows, it either comes as a disk image file (ISO) or as an installation disc. If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you should create a disk image of your installation disc.
Open Boot Camp Assistant
Boot Camp Assistant walks you through installing Windows on your Mac. Open this app from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder and follow the onscreen instructions to automatically repartition your startup disk and download related software drivers for Windows. When prompted, connect your USB flash drive.
Format your Windows partition
When you complete the assistant, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. When you're asked where you want to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click Format.
Install Windows
Follow the onscreen prompts to finish your Windows installation.
Restart your computer
After Windows is installed, you can switch between OS X and Windows. Use the Startup Disk preference pane in OS X, or the Boot Camp system tray item in Windows to select your startup disk, then restart your computer
Learn more
For more information about using Windows on your Mac, click the Open Boot Camp Help button in Boot Camp Assistant. These resources also contain helpful information:
- Boot Camp Help
- Boot Camp: Solve partition creation problems
- Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD
- Boot Camp: About keyboards and key assignment for Microsoft Windows
Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions
With Boot Camp you can use Windows 7 or Windows 8 on your Intel-based Mac.
For detailed installation instructions, software updates, and more, visit the Boot Camp Support page and consult Boot Camp Help.
Install or remove Windows
Which versions of Windows work with Boot Camp 5.1?
Boot Camp 5.1 supports 64-bit, non-Enterprise versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.0, and Windows 8.1. This version of Boot Camp doesn't support Windows XP, Windows Vista, or any 32-bit version of Windows. Depending on your Mac, you may be able to use an earlier version of Boot Camp to work with other versions of Windows. For details, see the Boot Camp system requirements for Microsoft Windows.
Can I perform an upgrade install from Windows 7 to Windows 8?
How do I create the Windows partition and install Windows?
Use Boot Camp Assistant, as described in How to install Windows using Boot Camp. Don't partition your hard drive with a third-party utility before using Boot Camp Assistant, or your hard drive could be erased.
How do I format the Windows partition during Windows installation?
The Windows installer will ask you to select a partition to install Windows. Always select the partition named BOOTCAMP. To format the partition for NTFS using Windows 7 or Windows 8.0, click "Drive options (advanced)," then click Format. In Windows 8.1, the Format option is in the lower-right corner of the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen of the installer.
Can I perform an upgrade install from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows?
It's not possible to upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows. Back up your important files, then perform a new install of the 64-bit version of Windows.
Can I resize the Windows partition after installing Windows?
No. Back up your important files, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the old partition and create a new one.
Can I install Windows from an ISO image?
To find out if your Mac supports that feature, open Boot Camp Assistant, then click the Continue button. If you see a checkbox labeled “Create a Windows 7 or later install disk,” your Mac can install Windows from an ISO image.
Do Macs that have a Fusion Drive support Boot Camp?
Yes. Boot Camp Assistant creates the Windows partition on the disk drive instead of the flash drive (SSD). If you're installing Windows 8 on an iMac with a 3TB hard drive, make sure the iMac is using OS X v10.8.3 or later.
Can I install Windows on an external drive?
No, Boot Camp requires that Windows be installed on your internal hard disk.
Can I install Windows on a Mac that's using RAID?
No, Boot Camp won't work if your Mac is using software RAID or a Mac Pro RAID card.
What languages does Boot Camp 5.1 support?
