[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1507954, member: 101749"] Welcome to the forums… First ill start with Windows on Mac. Yes there is a way and that is with Bootcamp. You can find the Bootcamp assistant which will guide you through loading windows on a separate partition and thats found in Applications>Utilities>Bootcamp Assistant. You will need to read these two links as there is a BootCamp Package you need on a separate USB Drive that you will need to run when Windows is installed, so the KeyBoard, Fonts, and a lot of other stuff will be compatible with the Mac once in the Windows Partition. The Bootcamp Package also has files/folders in it that will load onto Windows to get you on the internet. I actually did this myself last night with Win7 because i need to run a Flight Sim only Windows compatible. Bootcamp works well as it uses ALL the Mac resources unlike a VM where you allocate a certain amount of RAM to the VM. Bootcamp is known as a Dual-Boot because you log out of OS X and into Windows. [url=http://www.apple.com/au/support/bootcamp/]Apple - Support - Boot Camp[/url] and [url=http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp]Apple - Support - Downloads[/url]. . . . Now with the Wireless card/WIFI Adaptor ? Can you give more info ? I have a Wireless Dongle from my ISP that i plug in the USB and it Autoruns and i install the Software that it needs on the Mac to be able to work. I turn off Airport being the Mac Wireless Connectivity and run the App when the dongle is in the USB and press connect and I'm on the internet. IS that what you have ?? [/QUOTE]
