I just decided to throw in the towel and install Win 10.Here is a detailed outline of Parallels Desktop 15 system requirements for hardware, supported host and guest operating systems-as well as how to transfer your PC to a virtual machine- provided below.įor well over a decade, millions of global users have used Parallels Desktop® for Mac to run Windows, Linux and other popular operating systems on Mac®-without rebooting. Rather, a) Win 7 boot disks don't work with "efi boot", they apparently need the old style boot process, b) in the newer 2015 Macs the older boot process has been removed and only "efi boot" is present.Īs far as I could figure out, there is no way to use Win 7 on the newer Macs. So, I think the issue isn't with Bootcamp itsef. Here again, clicking on this entry does nothing, it just gives you a black screen. If you try to use an old Win 7 bootdisk that you might have lying around, the bootmanager shows only ONE entry: "efi boot". They don't even let you create a Win 7 bootdisk. Now, in 2015, Bootcamp 5.1.4 that shipped with OSX Yosemite and Bootcamp 6.0 that ships with El Capitan don't work with Win 7.
Clicking on "efi boot" does NOT launch the setup from the bootdisk, it just boots Windows from the hard drive, if there is one, otherwise it just give you a black screen. Clicking on "windows" would correct boot from the bootdisk and launch the setup program. If you use a Win 7 install bootdisk on such a system the boot manager will show TWO entries: "windows" and "efi boot". I ran into this problem too and did some digging.īootcamp 5.1.2 that shipped with OSX 10.8.x in 2014 supported Win7.
