Your 2012 MacBook Pro can only install Windows 7, 8.0, and 8.1 using Boot Camp. If you use virtual software, you can install Vista, or XP.

Is there anyway of doing it without going virtual? I have an old macbook pro 2008 that currently has OSX and XP running on it but would like to add Windows 7 for some programs but don't want to lose XP because I have some software that wont run on 7... Any suggestions?
