Apple Stops Supporting ******* 7 in Boot Camp on New MacBook Pro, MacBook Air Models

[ahlam1399]

http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2011/08/boot_camp_icon.jpgApple's newly refreshed MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro models ** longer support running ******* 7 with Boot Camp, according to Apple's Boot Camp support document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204048). Boot Camp on the new **tebooks only works with ******* 8 or later, so it is impossible to use Boot Camp to install ******* 7 on the machines.

For those unfamiliar with Boot Camp, it is Apple's software designed to allow Mac users to install Microsoft ******* on their machines.

Apple also dropped ******* 7 Boot Camp support (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/03/17/mac-pro-drops-*******-7-support/) in the 2013 Mac Pro, suggesting the software would cease to be supported by future Macs, but Macs released in 2014 continued to offer ******* 7 installations. The 2014 MacBook Air and the 2014 MacBook Pro will be the last Apple **tebooks that support ******* 7.

It is **t surprising that Apple has opted to phase out support for ******* 7, given its advanced age. ******* 7 first became available to the public in 2009 and was followed by ******* 8 in 2012. Despite being six years old, ******* 7 continues to be the most heavily used (http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=11&qpcustomb=0&qpsp=182&qpnp=13&q ptimeframe=M) *******-based operating system.

Mac users were **t happy with Apple's decision to cease ******* 7 support in the Mac Pro, and it's likely the dropped support in the new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro will also be met with resistance. ******* users have **t yet embraced ******* 8 due to both its cost and its interface, which deviated significantly from the design of ******* 7.

******* 10 (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/30/*******-10-preview/), coming later this year, may encourage stalwart ******* 7 users to upgrade, as it melds ******* 7 design elements with ******* 8 design elements for a happy medium that might satisfy a wide range of tastes. ******* 10 pricing has **t been unveiled, but it will be a free upgrade for ******* 8.1 users.
