[QUOTE="technodanvan, post: 1148829, member: 181170"] Hello all, first time Mac owner here. I purchased a 27" iMac (2.8GHz i5/5770/1TB) a couple weeks ago and it has mostly worked okay for me, but now I want to make it work a bit better for me. I have received a 120 GB Intel SSD I intend to swap for the 1TB drive, as well as a few more traditional peripherals to use in place of the Magic Mouse and Bluetooth Keyboard. I also received a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, which I would like to install on the SSD. However, I see little reason to use Snow Leopard at all and I'd rather not waste the space on the SSD just to install it in order to use Boot Camp. Will I be able to install Windows 7 the traditional way without running into any issues with the native Mac bootloader? [/QUOTE]
