BOOTCAMP windows 8

[tbird75]

I have a mac pro 15" also bought windows 8 from the net. Need to download it. With a mac how do I download the copy of windows to start bootcamp?

Is there an option to download the ISO or is it done from an installer?

 

[tbird75]

I do believe it’s an installer. The file info windows8 setup.exe

If there's no option to download the ISO, then you'll need to find a windows PC to download it. I believe when I bought win7, I used a windows PC because of the installer and what was downloaded was a full ISO.

Top right can you find network in win8? Or network settings

When you installed win8 didn't bootcamp make you download some drivers?

Yes it did, I figured it out. I had to install the drivers from the flash drive. I figured it would happen automatic but it didn't. works great now. Thanks for the help 😀
