Hi, I got my mac 2 months ago (LOVE IT!!) but have been thinking about using bootcamp so I can play windows games on my mac. But I don't really fancy going out and paying a £80 or so for a copy windows 7.
Before I got my mac I had a Dell laptop running windows Vista. The screen stopped working and took it to a local computer repairs shop and they said that it would be expensive to fix so just as well buy a new PC (hence how I ended up with my mac) anyway, I kept the laptop and as far as im aware - the HDD is fully functional. Is it at all possible to put the laptops HDD in an external case and then somehow selecting it to boot off of that?
I haven't got the windows install disks, so can't install windows on my mac using bootcamp... don't really know how to move forward.
Any help much appreciated.
