In 2013, when my desktop PCs were already using SSD drives, I tried to apply similar approach to this MacBook (as RAM was sufficient and i5 processor is powerfull enough for development), where initialization of Windows 7 with lots of bad stuff onboard could consume few very long minutes. I could perform any type of required mobile-dev at that time using this single machine, while travelling etc. No one could actually understand, why dare I to buy MacBook and primarly use Windows on it to execute BlackBerry development ). Then I installed Windows 7 (using BootCamp). Next I replaced the harddrive with a brand new WD Caviar Black with 750GB / 7200rpm and got extra space. First I replaced original RAM, put 8GB (max for this model) and seen a little performance boost. I had this brilliant idea of making upgrades myself.

Really long story, full of midnight joys started the next day I bough this MacBook in the middle of 2011. Good job Microsoft and thanks for such a good experience! I have never been happier, when moving from one Windows to another. Few days later I found that repairing BootCamp 5.1 (as suggested here), without even using ‘compatibility mode’ would help and I can confirm – it fixed all broken features. Beside that all other stuff was working more-less OK. Of course without the ability to use correctly the keyboard (F-keys) and without the way of turning off the machine (it only rebooted instead), with only possibility to sleep it. Windows did the dirty work, rebooted few times and after completion of the whole procedure I had Windows 10 starting up.

Then, when the time had come, I simply hit the ‘ Upgrade To Windows 10’ button. I already had latest Windows 8.1 installed on a secondary hard drive of this MacBook Pro. However some initial configuration is required, i.e. Was it easy? YES! and NO! (explained in Long Story below) ⚠️ : Additionally I was able to extend its memory to 16GB and replace the internal drive with Samsung SSD 860 Evo to give it maximum performance.

It’s possible to install and have perfectly running copy of Windows 10 on this extremely old early-2011 MacBook Pro, even though Apple latest BootCamp 6 doesn’t officially support this hardware. Looking really forward to getting some insight.Yes, that’s correct.
I've also tried this via Bootcamp, and I can't past the first step, which tells me that the installation disc could not be found.Īny help from you guys would be seriously appreciated!!! Maybe there's something wrong with the way I partitioned the drive? When I do so using Disk Utility, I receive the following error: "Operation failed." iso to the DVD (perhaps I did this wrong?) I then used Disk Utility to partition my HD (to MS-DOS (FAT)), then restarted my computer holding down 'Option" but did not see my DVD appear. So I now have a physical DVD+RW to use with my optical drive. Unfortunately, if you're trying to use a USB drive to install Windows, the only option you will see is "EFI Boot." This is because your machine shipped with an optical drive, and as such, its BIOS emulator does not support booting from USB you will either need to burn the ISO to a DVD, or use my EFI installation procedure. Based on what I've understood about Macs, old model Macs that ship with an optical drive can't boot via USB.
iso image, burned to USB, partitioned drive, downloaded additional software etc., and even got as far as the EFI Boot option. So I've been trying on and off for the past couple of weeks or so to install Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011).
