Windows on MacBook 2,1

[kemidar874]

Hello, i would like to install more modern windows on my 2007 Macbook, but it maximally supports win 7 32bit.

I heard that some drivers allow it to work with newer windows, but i was not able to find them. Does anyone know what drivers will work with win 10 32/64 bit (does not matter)?

Thanks

Theoretically speaking, the majority of Windows 7 drivers should work fine on Windows 10. AFAIK the only exception to this is GPU drivers which use WDDM.

Yeah they might work but apple is blocking their installation

Ahh, well then I can't help you with this one. I've literally never owned a genuine Apple product, everything I know is from emulators, third hand experience and Hackintoshing my own machines, none of which support Bootcamp.

I was able to find a guide: http://macintoshmen.is-great.net/2020/05/07/2007-macbook-windows-10-64-bit-installation-guide/?i=1

 

It says it should work on all MacBook Pros from that era. As far as I can see, your machine should have a Core 2 Duo, so it should be capable of 64 bit Windows even.

Did you install the Apple driver package or is that what it doesn't let you do?

If so you might be able to extract it and install the drivers manually.
