[QUOTE="5tevie, post: 1544146, member: 177281"] OK, here goes.I am using a Mac Mini from mid 2010. It runs like a dream and rarely gives any trouble. It's only when I try to complicate things by adding bits to it that I need help. For example, when talking about installing Windows on to the Mac's hard disc drive in order to use Windows Apps, I keep seeing mention of OS X Tiger or OS X Snow Leopard. It's as if the reviewers are saying, without actually saying, "This stuff won't work on anything newer than Snow Leopard. The bad news there is that I run Mountain Lion with all of the latest updates. I have discs for Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. So which software should I install in order to run any of these discs, preferably Windows 7? Any help gratefully received. Steve. ps ... Am I also right in saying that with a version of Windows running within the Mac, I will be able to run a CD disc that is made specificallt for Windows? Ta very much [/QUOTE]
