Booting up Windows 7īy default the MacBook will boot into Mac OS X. And if you want a writable shared partition I’ve written up my own instructions for how to add a third shared writable partition to your MacBook hard drive. On a previous post I’ve put links to the Boot Camp install instructions. Installing and setting up Windows 7 using Boot Camp is simple and takes less than an hour (most of that time is take by Windows 7 installing and setting itself up). I installed the 32 bit edition of Windows 7 rather than the 64 bit version on the assumption that more 3rd party software and drivers would be compatible with the 32 bit version. Some parts of this review would be applicable for running Windows 7 on any Mac, but other parts may be specific to the 2010 MacBook Pro 13 inch. This is one of the 2.4GHz models with 4GB of RAM. I’m going to review what it is like to use Windows 7 Home Premium on a 2010 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
