[QUOTE="townsbg, post: 1796401, member: 249897"] I've played around with 8.1 on a VM enough to know that I can deal with it because of classic shell so I'm thinking of migrating over to it when 7 is out of support even though I know that 7 will continue to work. No offense but I just came here to find out if bootcamp is compatible and not do discuss the semantics behind my decision. I know that many of you likely don't like Windows anyway. I'm asking specifically about bootcamp because isn't it how you get drivers onto Windows for a Mac? It worked when I set up 7. Installing bootcamp from my disk installed the necessary drivers for 7 to be functional. I figured that I would have to do the same with 8.1. Is it not? This computer was designed to be compatible with 7 for users that prefer to put on Windows so I'm concerned about compatibility with later versions of Windows. [/QUOTE]
