[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1810505, member: 396914"] The iso (and the DVD from Microsoft) are both 64 bit. The challenge is that unlike in the article and image in post #1, my BCA doesn't have the "Create an install disk" option. See post #3 for what I see. So while I have the iso and I have the disk, BCA doesn't recognize the iso and the disk is seen as a Win10 disk, not Win7. And I can't find a clear explanation of how to burn the .iso onto a thumb drive to make it bootable, which is, I think, what i need to do. Although if bootability is the key, why doesn't it see the Win7 install disk as Win7 and not Win10? I wonder if the fact the boot drive has been converted to APFS is a factor? I have read several article saying that it isn't, that BCA will shrink the APFS partition to make room for the Windows partition. In fact, one article was quite effusive in praise for Apple for how clever it was to do that and how well APFS played with BCA. [/QUOTE]
