2007 Macbook running Windows 10 64-bit

[@design-dwg5785]

Awesome video. I've been trying to install win 10 on my 2007 white MacBook for the past year since I dug it out of storage. Unfortunately MacOSX kept crashing when I tried to create a partition for windows so I decided to try and get rid of Mac OS and just run Windows on it (I was on Lion which is the latest MAC OS that is supported on my machine and, frankly, its useless now anyway). Instead of creating a partition in Mac OS I just used an SSD as an external drive and formatted it in Mac OS to MBR (I don't know whether this was necessary really but I did it anyway just in case). Then I stuck it in a PC and followed this video from that point. Works. Perfectly. Absolutely awesome and this old MacBook is finally more than an unwanted antique

[@MacintoshMen]

Nice to hear that it worked out for you!

[@LorenaFlores28]

May I ask how did you format your disk, I have a disk with no os and try to format to msd from a mac, then when inserted on a windows computer to install windows 10 , appears a double partition, the EFI Partition and the unallocated partition, but it does not allow me to install windows here, so I need to format again in order to do so, I leave the efi partition out and format the unallocated part, installed windows, take it out before the first restart but no success so far. I am missing something, I am doing a wrong format?

[@sambiggs8634]

Thanks man. I’ve been stuck in between knowing that I need to start on a Windows machine etc. You’ve provided the answer I’ve been looking for. Thanks!!

I just went into this nightmare and it surprised me a lot how hard it was to get w10 working properly on this machine. At this point I just wanted to see if it was capable, and although the performance is far from ideal, I'd say it's pretty usable, with some hardware upgrades I'm sure it will improve. I took a little shorter (and less painful) path to install w10 after trying and failing a lot to install it directly from a stick. First I got a w7 iso (from the Internet Archive) and installed it with Boot Camp as every normal person would do (with a small tweak into Boot Camp's info.plist to allow it to install w7 from a USB flash drive), including drivers, once I got it all working, I installed every update I could (not a lot), activated the OS, and, from a w10 iso, I updated the OS. It took around an hour and a half but once it was done it worked beautifully, the Boot Camp software and drivers were still there. It runs hella hot tho 😂

[@hitnrun66]

It would be much appreciated if you could tell me the code for the tweak, or a source so i can adjust it accordingly. A family friend gifted me a 2007-8 iMac and I'm desperately trying to make it not be a paperweight lol.

Your video now helps me a lot to solve the problem of trackpad driver and function keys. I just got a Macbook 4,1 (early 2008) and decided to install win 7 64 bit, but I had the same problems as you, it wouldn't boot from my usb. I had to fix it by inserting an external CD/DVD drive and it worked!! Now I want to replace the hard drive with a 320gb one and see how it works. Thanks for uploading this video!

bro i just bought a 2008 macbook early and a 2009 early on that im sure i cn get catalina and it comes with el capitan already so i was worried about the 2008 early since is a pain getting a new os to run good and up to date so since u have that same model let me know what u did to make it happen in a few detail like u mentioned cd driver did u use a dvd if so witch onw dvd-r or dvd+r ???? and any luck with windows 10?

​​@@Wicked_He_Badsee my other comment on this video, I have a 2008 macbook 4,1 and I used a win7 DVD that I burned from an iso I found online. once you have win 7 installed and activated you can install win10 from inside of win7

You are a Genius!!!!, I finally installed windows 10 in my MacBook Pro 2011 with MBR partition

[@sem5263]

You can achieve the same thing by creating a USB stick with Windows setup on it, creating an image of it with Winclone, and cloning the image onto a spare disk partition. You need to boot off that and then start the setup in the regular fashion. Just let it copy the files onto the same partition. Tested on an iMac (Mid 2011) with a dead optical drive and no support for legacy USB boot.

[@sem5263]

Note: not sure if that works with newer versions of macOS and Winclone, originally tested on Snow Leopard with a super old (?) release of Winclone.

For anyone having trouble with the trackpad: Macbook Pro 3.1 late 2007 First of all i did this on a clean install, so you might need to do that too, because i could not uninstall bootcamp. Just reset windows through restore. Get bootcamp 4.0.4033. Navigate with file explorer to bootcamp4.0.4033\drivers\apple. Right click bootcamp64 > compatibility > previews version of windows. If not, it will say it requires windows 7. CMD in admin mode to bootcamp4.0.4033\drivers\apple. Type bootcamp64.msi and install it normally. Restart. After this i have everything working, including trackpad and keyboard with full functionality (tap to click, 2 fingers scroll, illumination, function keys etc.). Thank you for this vid, the installation method was brilliant. Windows 10 64 works great, better than any other linux distros i've tried. Temps are OKish... Install Mac Fan Controll to keep an eye on them. Now i just have to get rid of the damn chime...

[@shadowpresident4203]

I'm pretty sure the USB 2.0 standard didn't require support for being able to boot from USB, and installing an OS in that way wasn't really the norm yet back then. The manufacturers making the USB 2.0 controller chips on the board probably didn't include that functionality as it wasn't within the spec. Or maybe it was an issue of the particular EFI BIOS itself not allowing you to boot from USB. Either way, this is cool and I'm glad it worked.

[@stephanlee4222]

Great Video. Someone gave me a late 2007 Macbook and I want to convert to Windows. Few questions: 1. Can i partition using Boot camp utility (I was able to do this, but of course didn't work with the windows 10 install through bootcamp but it did create the partition).--or do I need to partition using disk utilities. 2. If I only want to keep the most minimum partition for Mac OS and the rest for Windows, what is the minimum GB partition for Mac OS? 3. Or do you just recommend to get rid of the Mac OS completely and just install the Windows only (negating the need for any partition) 4. I have a Windows 10 (64 Bit) installer on a USB stick I used to install on a Macbook Air 2012 and Mac Mini (late 2012) and the install was simple . Can I use the same installer USB or do I have to do something different? (I'm not familiar with UEFI etc). 5. The windows 10 installer i have is Windows 10 Pro (64 Bit). you think that'll be ok with 4GB RAM or do I need to install the 32 bit (Which I don't have and not sure if my Win 10 PRO 64 bit code will work). 6. Lastly, I have a Macbook Pro 2006 (Intel Core Duo -32 bit). Do you think this same process will work, or will it not work on that model? Thank you

[@MacintoshMen]

I suppose Bootcamp could create the partition but I would just do it in Disk Utility. The minimum size is basically what disk utility would allow you to resize it to then. About the USB question, those Macs (2012) have a completely different UEFI, therefore it booted. That process doesn't work on those older Macs (2006, 2007). That's why I created this video. On 2006 it's the same procedure as long as you use a 32 bit installer.

[@stephanlee4222]

@@MacintoshMen Thanks. I've never done a 32 bit install of Windows 10 but it's worth a try. Do you think 1 or 2 GB is enough for that or do you still recommend 4GB? I will let you know how it works. Too bad the macbook pro 2006 is 32 bit. it has a much nicer form factor than the white 2007 macbook (64 bit) because it has a metal body, bigger screen and backlit metal keyboard.

So when you created the second partition on your single drive for the sake of doing this install, you just used the Apple Disk Utility within whichever verson of OS X you currently had on the laptop before installing Windows 10? For a machine this old, it would probably mean Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which is what mine still has. Would that work?

Download refit app. Reboot two times until the boot menu comes up. Install a hard drive that is windows installed through a windows PC. It’ll boot to windows 10

[@MacintoshMen]

Refit never worked for me unfortunately.

[@goodluckomoro6255]

Touchpad stopped working after installing bootcamp, no touchpad in bootcamp control panel. Please what should I do?

[@Windows7Pro2009]

Which version is that Windows 10? 1909?

[@megavide0]

Sounds like a hell of an Odyssey. I managed to install 64 bit Linux on the same old machine. Everything works. But I already forgot how I did that... USB startup/ setup on the 2007 MacBook is a mess. I'm just trying to upgrade the thing... Maybe I'll install a Windows 10, too. (I despise MacOS. The versions still running on the 2007 MacBook are way out of date.)

[@MacintoshMen]

It was a bit of a pain but in the end I got it working.

[@cristianestrada6424]

Maybe you can download the trackpad driver running DriversCloud scanner and try to download

[@MacintoshMen]

No need, just download the boot camp Softwareversion I told you in the video

[@dannypereira9819]

Cristian Estrada doubt it will work like that

Hi I got a mid 2009 macbook and I always want it to install windows in it but every tutorial I see shows a screen on boot amp that jsu t doesn't pop out on my side ...I'm using high Sierra

Did you create a second partition for Windows already? In Disk utility or using the bootcamp assistant?

[@chrisplissken4626]

@@MacintoshMen boot camp doesn't let me create anything because there is an option that won't come out that shows up on every tutorial of it and when I look for one to correct that issue the files don't exist anymore so I don't get it lol

Hello, How much RAM does your MacBook have?

It had only 2 GB

I have a question. Could someone install Windows 10 to an hard drive without having to boot through it and work still if installed in a 2007 macbook? For example, if a person was to install Windows 10 to a hard drive externally through the means of using a USB to sata adapter, from a system already running it's own windows (or any other OS).

I have MacBook A1181 2007 edition too. Camera and Audio didn't work on Windows 10. All others went smooth. Please help

I used those bootcamp drivers, only the brightness and sound keys work but the multitouch. bluetooth and camera doesnt work with my mid 2007 Macbook. At least Im using a wireless Logitech cheap keyboard for now for muliitouch

Can't we take out hdd and install windows on it from another windows machine?

That's the way I tell you to do it in the video. Works great.

[@rainlesure4690]

Got refit to work by flashing it to a USB drive keeping it plugged in instead of installing it on the machine I could not get that to work Process I used was flash refit to a USB powered down the machine plug in the USB put in a burned disc of Ubuntu 64-bit power on machine hold option go into refit select Ubuntu install Ubuntu but you'll run into an issue where you won't have keyboard drivers so you have to spam enter then your boot into the installer still no keyboard drivers so you have to wait and it will install on its own and you'll get keyboard control back it was the same way with Windows

[@Edmundostudios]

What about using a windows 10 DVD? Mine doesn't seem to recognise USB drives holding alt, although on a 2009 iMac I have it seems to recognise usb installers fine and I put Ubuntu on it to have up to date browsers.

yo bro, nobody from the macos community really appreciates custom isos. It'd be cool if you could try install a custom gaming iso on this like reviOS or ggOS, they reduce processes and it'd be cool to see how fast it could run in comparison to stock w10. it lets me get good fps on most games on my 2013 mac haha

I put a T7200 in a mac mini 1,1 making it a 2,1. Now thanks to MacintoshMen it is running win10pro64. I did put win10pro32 in it a couple years ago which was also a huge pain but it worked, still no native sound. Having to use a usb sound dongle.

[@DJZofPCB]

I installed from CD win7 x64, biggest issues were apple drivers. I tried a few free driver progs with no success. Ended up downloading from Apple the boot camp files, then I had to extract the driver folders to install them effectively. Took me 2 days of downloading, trying, reaearching, you will have to delete apple partitions, I did not use refit or bootcamp, just win7 cd. Next upgrade is 4gb ram and ssd, mine is 2006 macbook pro, all works except remote, even with 3rd party software.

[@DrAcOFoto]

How did you create your DVD? For some unknown reason no Windows media will ever boot in this Mac Mini 2006 upgraded to 2,1 and C2D 2.16GHz x64, when using an external USB DVD drive - tried XP, Vista, 7, 10, all 32-bit and 64-bit - not even BootCamp works when I want to boot from the optical disc!!

[@DJZofPCB]

@@DrAcOFoto I know the feeling. I don't remember off the top, but you have to press C or another key combo at startup for it to prompt you to boot dvd or hd, if you do get that screen but don't see the dvd, keep trying, that's what I did. I used RUFUS to make the dvd, no options just the default settings. I got super frustrated, don't give up, use GOOD keyword searches to find your answer. I spent like 2 weeks trying to get it to work. Try different optical also

[@DrAcOFoto]

@@DJZofPCB sadly, the problem is more complicated than the boot keys, which always worked. It's just the media, it is never recognized, i've wasted countless DVDs and more hours making USB boot drives. Nothing for installing Windows is recognized, with default Apple boot loader, refit, refind, doesn't matter. Keep in mind Rufus can default to different things, that's why I could use some known precise working settings. Thanks for replying, though. I'll continue with this frustrating search for something that works for the 2006-2007 Mini, which would probably help other macs with the dirty 32-bit EFI.

[@DJZofPCB]

@@DrAcOFoto much luck im rooting for you!! you can do it!! with all the research i you we have done we could probably been doctors or lawyers by now....lol😁

[@platonakos153]

I tried this method for 2007 macbook pro but when in the pc installation in the part where you choose the disk partition. It said...Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only installed on GPT disks.

[@mateknerli3825]

Same here, did you ever solve it by any chance?

[@shadowpresident4203]

I'm thinking of doing this with my old MacBook from late 2007, but I'll need to upgrade from 1 GB RAM. I can get 2x2 GB modules for about $20 total, or I can get 1x4 GB + 1x2 GB for about $80. The price disparity is huge, because apparently the 4 GB low power DDR2 modules are rare nowadays, and accordingly overpriced. I'm thinking 6 GB instead of 4 on this machine actually WOULD make a performance difference, since it's already somewhat underpowered for this OS anyway. But I just can't justify paying over $50 for a 4 GB module. The machine only officially supports 4 GB according to Apple, but apparently this oddball 6 GB config works too. If it doesn't run well with 4 GB, I'll just install Linux on the machine instead.

[@ThePeter567]

Maximum supported in this macbook (in this video) is 4gb ram, so just be careful or you may have wasted your money, unless you have a newer model
