I've been a long time lurker on here for various bits of advice and fixes over the years of owning my MBP but now I've come to an issue which googling and forum searching hasn't let me solve!!
Essentially I want to install a windows partition on my MBP so I can play Windows only games that I own on my system. I've found Virtual Machines don't cut it in terms of performance as my machine is old and not the best for gaming as it is. I am in the situation where I have a modern OS (Sierra) which seemingly only supports Win10 via bootcamp and old hardware which according to Apple, doesn't support any windows OS newer than Win8.
I think this will need a creative solution or advice from someone else who has solved my rather unique situation....
I do have a backup of an old windows 7 bootcamp partition before I decided to get an SSD and start over again (not realising how difficult it would be to get it back!)
I've tried various workarounds, too many to list and too long ago to find!
