Installing Windows 8 on a Mac: A comprehensive guide

Bootcamp and Intro:

The word Bootcamp is not being used correctly around here. MacOSX you find the bootcamp assistant, all this is is a partitioning tool, nothing more. The real use of Bootcamp is for the drivers required for Windows, in particular the Apple manufactured parts such as the touchpad. Bootcamp drivers are awful, really awful and Apple has them so poorly written that they hinder performance and in particular, battery life (thats why you will see all these "side by side"s tests on youtube claiming Macs have greater battery life when really its the bootcamp drivers and services chewing it up). My honest advice, sell your current Mac and go for a straight out Windows 8 optimized PC, if you like touch or think you may use it then go for a kinda hybrid setup!! If you're still keen on using an Apple product :shiftyninja: :laugh: or for some very obscure reason OSX is a requirement for you then I will give you some pointers on what to do, as I have done it all and know what works best!!

Tips:

  • Never ever single boot Windows, at start-up EFI will search for an OSX volume and only after it has scanned the whole disk will it decide to search for another suitable OS, in your case, Windows 8. This can be a real annoyance as it adds a good 20-30 seconds to boot and restart.
  • Don't try and multi-boot. I have had OSX, Linux and Windows all at once and you are bound to run into problems at one stage with the disks or an OS corrupting/not being able to start
  • You can't run two versions of Windows, so don't try and run Win8 win Win7
  • If you rarely use MacOSX or just want their "in case" you need it, remove all the language files, uninstall any unnecessary (to you that is) crap like iLife etc. to make room for your new Windows partition :D
  • Select your default start up OS from OSX to Windows 8 (or bootcamp control panel... if you have it installed :p) or if you frequently change OSes and don't want to have to keep holding in option key at boot then consider setting up rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/ it will give you a nice interface at start-up for OS selection which can be a lot less work
  • Don't expect things to work like they do on a normal PC, your working at a second rate standard and as I said before it is absolutely no replacement for a real PC :p

How to do it:

  • Remove any unnecessary crap from your hard drive or back it up for transfer to Windows later (better to have it on NTFS than HFS)
  • Run bootcamp assistant and partition your hard drive to your desired size allocations
  • If you're installing Windows 8 you're going to need the Bootcamp 4.0 drivers, in the assistant it will have an option to download them, last I checked, those servers were dead and it was pretty much impossible to download them, so PM me if you need a copy :p
  • Restart your Mac, when the power comes back on hold the option/alt key at the chime screen (goes gray) and wait for the boot selector to come up
  • Insert you're Windows 8 OEM copy (if you have an upgrade version then you have to install windows 7 first then override it)
  • Select the Disc icon which should say Windows under it
  • Run through the setup till you hit the hard drive selector screen
  • Bootcamp assistant, being the novice software that it is, doesn't partion the hard drive as NTFS so go ahead and click advanced then format it
  • Install to that partition and continue on through the setup until everything is done and your at the start screen
  • As you will see Windows 8 has actually got drivers that are working for most of the OS ie screen, keyboard and likely mouse/trackpad
  • NOW, this is where the fun begins :p, you have 2 options:

Option 1

  1. Install bootcamp drivers and services from the disc or USB by running setup (to eject the disk you can do it via file explorer or you can hold down 2 fingers at the chime or if you have a mouse then the secondary click)
  2. Restart your computer (hold option to now select the Windows 8 Drive) and then set your bootcamp control panel settings from the system control panel or tray icon such as tap to click etc.
  3. You will now be able to use the touchpad features like 2 finger horizontal scrolling and also altering brightness and volume (mind you the overlay won't come up nor will the now playing for the music app)
  4. HOWEVER you will not be operating at real speeds or have great battery life

Option 2

  1. Once Windows 8 is up and running go ahead and install the latest graphics and sound drivers (the stock Windows 8 ones are pretty good but if your attempting to game... :p then get the latest proper ones)
  2. If you have a trackpad and you want some awesome extra Windows 8 features go ahead and install touchpad ++ http://trackpad.powerplan7.com/ which gives you some seriously cool and powerful options unlike the stock and bootcamp ones, if your getting an error than you may need to install the bootcamp one first which is located in the bootcamp install folder/drivers/apple/AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller.exe (64 bit is in the 64 folder)
  3. Change your Keyboard setting to English US (apple) and then everything should be mapped correctly ;)
  4. If you need brightness and volume control there are free programs on the web that can use them as hot keys to mimic that functionality just do a quick Bing search :p :p :p
  5. Enjoy closer to native speeds!!

Pros and Cons for bootcamp setup

Pros:

  • No extra work involves, should just work
  • Easy control panel options
  • Difficulty = Easy/Medium (depends if you encounter any problems)

Cons:

  • limited in what you can do (especially the trackpad)
  • TAXING ON PERFORMANCE AND BATTERY LIFE

Native drivers pros and cons:

Pros:

  • Significant increase in battery life and performance
  • Greater flexibility and options (write your own drivers like me :p)

Cons:

  • If your not good with trouble shooting and working with low level system features it could be a painful experience
  • You will miss out on some functionality and won't have one control panel to change everything
  • No simple update system
  • DIFFICULTY = HARD/EXPERT

The third option:

What I have going is a mixture of bootcamp drivers, native drivers, third party drivers and my own drivers/programs to make Windows 8 on a Mac an enjoyable experience. So feel free if your not going to install the whole bootcamp collection to pick and choose what you need/want and fill the gaps with other more stable drivers, the majority of important ones you won't find alternatives to (except of course touchpad with touch ++) are located in the /Drivers/Apple folder in the Bootcamp Drivers folder.

Conclusion:

Don't think for a second that your going to get the real Windows 8 experience but you will be getting one very close and with a few tweaks you won't even know the difference. If your raging because there are errors or somethings not working, don't give up, try different things and experiment so you gain a greater understanding of OS concepts. I also don't advise you take the virtual machine route because that will most likely end up being a painful and slow experience.

In regard to which option is the best, that's really personal preference, I, as noted, have mixes things up to try and make for a better Windows 8 setup and right now I'm pretty happy with it!! Still room for improvement of course :p If your a bit of a novice to these kinds of things I would go with option 1 and just get a feel for what things are like if you are feeling a bit more adventurous or up for a challenge/path of encountering problems then hit up option 2. What I will say is that you are likely to encounter a hiccup somewhere with option 2 so if all else fails just take option 1.

Support:

I may have left a couple of things out so feel free to add anything to the comments section, I will also keep you guys updated with the latest improvements or methods I find to make it a better experience. If you have any questions at all regarding this tutorial, bootcamp, or Windows 8 in general feel free to PM me and I'll get to you as soon as I can :)

Windows 8 is awesome!!

Thank you for the guide. I'm not sure I follow the line of reasoning that using a different driver for the trackpad will somehow increase performance in battery life. Seems that you would need something lower level than that would have better control over the Power Saving features of Windows 8. Could you please elaborate? I'm not convinced that following your procedure would yield better performance and battery life to be honest because I don't think that the trackpad and keyboard drivers were the problem.

Microsoft hasn't even written a white paper on NTFS. NTFS is a completely closed door proprietary file system. Why would you expect Apple to include NTFS formatting as an option? Microsoft does not include HFS+ formatting as an option, for example.

Or you can just check the box in the boot camp options to use the keyboard mapped functions and hold the function key.

Also.. near native? It's a computer running Windows, it is native speed. I have Windows 8 running in boot camp and it's a good bit faster than OSX.

You might want to include a section on what to do if the boot camp partitioning guide fails, as it often does.

I truly don't agree with this. I installed Win8 as the only OS on my 2009 MBP and while it adds a few extra seconds to boot time it hardly makes that a con. One thing that is a huge drawback though is that it would not see my trackpad after the install was finished. I had to connect a usb mouse and search the internet for drivers....took almost two hours to fix. I highly recommend using trackpad++.

Performance and battery life has been on-par with OS X Mountain Lion (approx 5 hours).

Your so called 'guide' sounds like something a fanboy would put together.

If you have the ability to do so I would take the time and go the more advanced/spine tingling route:

1. Backup your macbook pro into a bootable image

2. Boot from a win8 dvd and remove all partitions

3. Create a brand new win8 partition and install win8 as the only OS

4. Spent some quality time with it....you may actually be surprised with it

The worst that happens is that you don't like it and you apply your backup and you have your system back.

I tried a different method: 1. Since my copy of Windows 8 is the $39.99 Digital Copy from Microsoft.com, I first installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition OEM from DVD (on Boot Camp) then I installed Boot Camp 4.0 from USB Drive, next I Installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, next I installed all available updates for SP1 for W7, next I ran the W8 Upgrade Adviser, next I made my W8 Digital Copy Initial Purchase (with the $14.99 Back UP Disk which just Shipped Today) on to W7 SP1, finally I installed W8 as an Upgrade on top of W7 SP1. Boot Camp worked just fine after install with out needing to reinstall it.

I'm not going to go into details but you are not going to get native speeds on a mac with any operating system other than OSX. A major part of this is of course is Bootcamp but there are many other reasons such as how other OSes are allowed to access the CPU, RAM and other components because of the missing BIOS

Fanboy of what? I use all operating systems, from Windows to OSX then over to Solaris :) Battery life is definitely not on par, try comparing a similar laptop and you find Windows 8 on a PC completely outlives Windows 8 on a Mac. Neither is performance, try doing some benchmarking!

Took me a lot of time to draft up :(

That will definitely work (most of the time) but my point is that there are alternatives and its good to know whats out there.

Please go into detail, because this isn't true.

Yeah, that's totally off-base. Boot Camp is a partitioning program and GRUB front-end. Aside from some extra EFI modules Macs are just a standard computer.

Right, he even cited reFIT, which states you don't need Boot Camp to run Windows:

Hey, thanks for the tips. Could you please tell me which parts aren't true?

Cheers

Great effort in the review/tutorial - I do believe some facts are needed rather than your opinion though.

Thanks for the advice! I'll keep opinion out of future posts!

I explicitly said that you don't need anything to do with Bootcamp.

You're missing the point, boot camp partitions, is a set of drivers / control panel for Windows, and is a boot loader. Once loaded, there's absolutely no difference running Windows on a Mac than running Windows on any other PC.

Exactly. I have found Windows 7 and 8 to have much better performance on my mac than OS X. They are installed on the same type of SSD (separate drives of course), and Windows seems to perform better.

wont run at native speed? how much more native speed can you get then direct CPU access? its not like this is an emulation layer for the processor... the EFI BIOS compatability layer is just a wrapper... and Windows can even run as a native EFI system now too

  • 4 months later...

I'm sure the solution to my problem is somewhere in this thread, but I'm too much of a noob to see it.

Being forced by reasons not at issue here to run Windows on a late 2011 MacBookPro, with almost NO available disk space, I loaded Windows 8 on a LaCie external HD, using the instruction here:http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.fr/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external.html. The installation worked fine and Windows 8 runs as expected, EXCEPT it can't see any wireless network. I spent four hours talking to Windows support techs today. Should have looked at this site instead, since the techs had no I idea what the problem was. I'm convinced the problem is a missing driver after coming here.

However, I have no idea what driver I need, nor how to install it. I did not use Bootcamp for the installation, and have no idea if any of the information here is relevant. Remember, the reason I did not initially partition the MBP HD and use Bootcamp was that I have only about 15Gb disk space available. And no, it's my wife's laptop, my iMac is a long way away, and I cannot delete any of her soft/hardware.

Is my case hopeless?

    • But ads are the main source of revenue only for Google. Otherwise, why would mobile Edge have a built-in AdBlock?
    • That makes no sense. Of course the average user knows that Edge exists, because it's built into Windows as standard. Hence the normie joke about it just being a downloader for Chrome. People use Chrome because Google have spent the past 15+ years aggressively ramming it down people's throats through massive advertising campaigns, both on their own services and beyond. It's become just the standard internet browser and the average person doesn't care enough about the minutiae of browser differences to switch. Mozilla and Firefox simply cannot compete with Google and Microsoft when it comes to getting Firefox's name out there. They don't have a platform like Google's network of websites or Windows to constantly push adoption. The idea that people pick a browser based on milliseconds of page loading time that's imperceptible outside of a benchmark is nonsense.
    • Microsoft Weekly: useful PowerToys modules, Microsoft Store updates, and video gen in Bing by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, bringing you the latest stories from the Microsoft world, including useful PowerToys modules, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, AI video generation in Bing, Office updates, gaming news, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. This week's Windows 11 section kicks off with some stats. StatCounter published its monthly report, showing that Windows 11 slowed its climb a little bit in May 2025. On the gaming side, however, things are much better, with Windows 11 occupying the majority of PCs on Steam. Now, here are some Windows updates you might have missed. Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2 received KB5062170, a small emergency patch that resolved errors when installing recent updates. The patch is available only through the Microsoft Update Catalog, and the company recommends installing it only if your system experiences the 0xc0000098 code when installing the May 2025 security update. Finally, Microsoft released a new Defender update for Windows 11 and 10 installations, fresh recovery updates, and a script for recovering the inetpub folder, which showed up unannounced on systems in April. As Windows 10 is getting closer to the end of support, more companies are urging users to switch. AMD, Dell, and ASUS all urge users to prepare for the "mandatory Windows 11 upgrade," while other companies shamelessly poach Windows 10 users, luring them to Linux. To finish this week's Windows section, here is an ancient CD-burning app that made a surprising 64-bit comeback and now works on modern operating systems, including Windows 11. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 27871 This week's Canary build introduced Start menu improvements (more Phone Link features), small taskbar tweaks, and a long list of various fixes to improve different parts of the operating system. Dev Channel Build 26200.5622 (KB5058512) This build brought new Click to Do features, a dedicated Settings section for Quick Machine recovery, improved Windows Widgets, a new spec card for the Settings app, and a few fixes here and there. Build 26200.5622 also contains a new "Your Device Info" card on the Settings Home page, which makes it easier to find your computer's specs with fewer clicks. Beta Channel Build 26120.4230 (KB5058506) This one is almost identical to build 26200.5622 from the Dev Channel. Release Preview Channel Nothing in the Release Preview Channel this week Besides new builds, Microsoft announced a new update for the Windows Photos app, which is now available to Windows Insiders in all channels. The update introduces AI-powered light controls (Relight), which let you place and control up to three light sources on your photo, and AI-powered search with natural language support. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) from Microsoft and third parties, delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more. Microsoft announced a batch of new features for the Microsoft Store. The app is getting an improved Home page with personalized recommendations based on your recent activities, region, and deals. Search now considers additional information when ranking apps in the results, and a Copilot button lets you ask AI about a certain app. Microsoft also brags about significant performance improvements under the hood. This week, we had plenty of various Office updates. Microsoft 365, for one, is getting significant changes to its update channels beginning July 2025. Rollback support will be expanded to two months, the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel (Preview) is being deprecated, and the Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel will be supported for eight months instead of the current 14. Microsoft also announced the general availability of the new Message Trace in the Exchange Admin Center in Exchange Online, some big updates for the new Outlook for Windows in the June 2025 update, and acknowledged a few issues with Outlook after a recent Calendar feature upgrade. Teams is also getting a "major" change for third-party app settings, and Word is getting SharePoint eSignature support. Bing received a surprising update this week. OpenAI's Sora video generator is now available for free in Bing Video Creator. Now, you do not have to pay for an OpenAI subscription to generate short videos using AI. Way to boost Bing stats, Microsoft! PowerToys Run, a useful and convenient launcher for Windows 10 and 11, recently received three new third-party modules that let you test your internet speed, download videos from hundreds of websites, and check out word definitions, usage, synonyms, and more. Microsoft announced some long-requested changes for Microsoft Edge, but only for those living in the EEA region. Windows will no longer annoy you with setting Edge as your default browser, and Windows Widgets will respect your default browser. Also, Microsoft will let you uninstall the Microsoft Store app, and Windows Search will be able to use other search providers. Speaking of browsers, Microsoft published a blog post that explained why Edge is a faster and smarter alternative to Chrome. If you are picking between the two, the article might help you make the choice (Google has an answer to that with its own article explaining that Chrome is now faster than ever). Also, the company released Edge 138 in the Beta Channel, bringing some important changes and new features, such as a new (sort of new) media control center, AI-powered history search, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft expanded LinkedIn's CEO role to manage Office apps. Microsoft announced the general availability of two new reasoning AI agents: Research and Analyst. Microsoft and Crowdstrike announced a partnership on threat actor naming. Microsoft will invest $400 million in Switzerland to bolster cloud and AI infrastructure. The annual Build conference is moving away from Seattle. Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: Intel 32.0.101.6876 non-WHQL with support for four new games and a single fix for intermittent display artifacts. Nvidia 576.66 Hotfix with patches for FC 25 crashes, video bugs in browsers, and more. In addition to that, Nvidia released a new version of the Nvidia App, which introduced a light theme (and automatic theme switching), support for more games, and some bug fixes. AMD Software Pro Edition 25 Q2 with support for Windows Server 2025, new Ryzen processors, and a few fixes. AMD Radeon Software 25.6.1 with the RX 9060 XT support and FSR 4 support for more games. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Hello Games continues relentlessly improving No Man's Sky. The game's latest update, "Beacon," was announced this week. It offers space explorers overhauled settlements, player overseer duties, and much more. The update is now available on all supported platforms, including Nintendo Switch 2. The Witcher 4 from CD Projekt RED might be a few years away. Still, at the State of Unreal 2025 keynote, the developers revealed a tech demo showcasing the capabilities of Unreal Engine 5 on the base PlayStation 5, which managed to pull it off at a solid 60 FPS. Nvidia announced new games that are now available in the GeForce NOW cloud streaming service (you have to own them to play them). The latest drop is a massive one: 25 new games, including FBC: Firebreak, Dune: Awakening, 7 Days to Die, DREADZONE, and more. Game Pass is also getting new games, and the first drop in June is also a pretty big one.

    • No, they aren't because they don't do with that online advertising, they sell with that "spots" in their store. Apple is not an online advertising company. The business model of Microsoft ads is exactly the same with Google ads. They both are ad companies which do online advertising and make though their sites user profiling. Just because Microsoft never managed to be as successful as Google in that business that doesn't mean they are not exactly what Google is. An online advertising company. Both Google, Microsoft and Amazon are online advertising companies. Apple isn't.
