I can also organise all the data in Excel on this iMac, as Microsoft Office for Windows also installed without a hitch.īut, I would like to figure out why Boot Camp would not work for me. My current situation works for me, I have Windows 8.1 running and my inverter software works fine and I can download and store all the data on DropBox, which also installed and works fine so I can use other apps on other machines to analyse it. So, the only thing Boot Camp assistant did for me is download the Windows support software. So then I just installed the BlueTooth and the RealTek Sound drivers myself and that worked fine. I again tried to run setup.exe from the BootCamp folder, with the same result as before.Īn idea I got online at some point a while ago was to run BootCamp64.msi from the command prompt running as an Administrator. I then allowed Windows 8 to upgrade, which was necessary before the Windows Store would provide the free 8.1 upgrade, which I then installed. So I then ran the Windows 8 upgrade from within Windows 7 (because the license I bought was only for an upgrade). When I tried to run setup.exe from the BootCamp folder it said my computer was not supported.

So, I created a Windows partition myself, rebooted from the Windows 7 install disc, chose the format option and let the installer do its thing. I then did some extensive online research and tried all kinds of methods to get Boot Camp assistant to work, to no avail. There were no other options available from the assistant. I had inserted the Windows 7 DVD but the Boot Camp assistant complained it couldn't find my install disc which was clearly mounted.

I had purchased a licensed full install DVD for 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1 some time ago and then later on purchased an upgrade licensed DVD for Windows 8 Pro. It said I needed 'a single full install Windows installation disc'. When I first set out to install Windows on my 20' iMac 9,1, running MacOS 10.9.5, I ran the Boot Camp assistant, which downloaded the Windows support software and that is the only thing that seemed to work. So, I've rewritten the question to focus on solving that problem. The first answer here gave me advice about installing Windows on this machine, that answer is appreciated and has got me sucked in, to understand why those earlier attempts failed. My original intention with this question was to ask for information about the Windows Support drivers, not to ask about installing Windows. I had found a way to do it myself, install the Blue Tooth drivers and run my solar system inverter management software successfully, which had already solved my key problem. Because I had tried so many ways to get Windows on this 20' iMac 9,1, I didn't want to come here and write a book about it.
