![]() Posts in Windows forums relating to Win8.1 updates "not working", "takes forever", "never ends" have a couple of responses like "let it run for 24hrs" because "the update servers are slow" or "down" or "not enough servers". 180 updates were applied but it took one and a half days to complete! With that success I went back to my Sierra Boot Camp install of Window 8.1 and attempted to apply the Windows update again. I can confidently debunk this myth/rumour that Boot Camp only supports Windows 10.Īs planned (see my earlier post) I installed Windows 8.1 into Fusion 8.5 on Sierra and completed a successful Windows update that took half a day to complete. It's not just a hand-holder (even if it were, hand-holding is important for many people) Sierra refuses to create installers older than Win10 Most of them finish with "now Windows is installed, just run the bootcamp assistant to install the drivers" or "you will need the Bootcamp drivers" The first page of results all say that you need Bootcamp for drivers. I suggest you Google "how to install Windows on a Mac without Bootcamp". Do you expect generic Win 7 drivers to work on an Apple track pad? ![]() You cannot just install Windows out of the box on a Mac and have everything work. It's more complicated than a simple partition. Those people would assume, wrongly, that Apple could help, because Apple say they can, and then find out that they can't. Not everybody is comfortable doing this kind of thing. ![]() You are forgetting that admin and tech tasks are not easy for everyone. If they say "Yosemite or later" then it's reasonable to think that includes Sierra. If Apple say they support something then they need to support it.
