This document shows you how to install and set up  

Boot Camp so you can use Microsoft Windows on a  

Mac computer.

Introduction

Boot Camp lets you install Windows on a Mac computer in its own partition, so you 
can use either Windows or Mac OS X on your Mac computer.

The Boot Camp Assistant application and this guide walk you through the steps 
needed to create a Windows partition on your Mac and then restart your Mac using 
your Windows installation disc. Then, follow this guide to install Windows and install 
software drivers that let Windows work with your Mac hardware. 

You can install Windows with an installation disc you provide or, on some Mac 
computers, with a USB flash drive that contains a Windows 7 ISO image downloaded 
from Microsoft. Boot Camp Assistant helps you burn the image to the flash drive.

If you want to upgrade the version of Boot Camp or  Windows on your Windows 
partition, you don’t need to use Boot Camp Assistant. Instead, click the Finder icon  
in the Dock, choose Help > Help Center, and search for “upgrade Boot Camp” or 
“upgrade Windows.”

This document is for Boot Camp Assistant version 4.0.1 or later. If you’re 

using Boot Camp Assistant version 4.0 or earlier,  open Boot Camp Assistant and click  
“Print Installation & Setup Guide” to print the document for your computer. To see 
what version of Boot Camp Assistant you’re using, open Boot Camp Assistant, and 
then choose Boot Camp Assistant > About Boot Camp Assistant.
