Install windows on a 2011 Mac

[vladd_]

Hi all, hope someone can help. Is it possible to install windows on a MacBook Air 2011 with a 64gb ssd? Or there’s simply not enough space? If so, do you have any other alternatives to have windows on it?
Thanks a lot

Only Windows…no version of macOS?

Windows will be the primary OS, i did a fresh high Sierra installation on it. I tried before but I was constantly getting the “not enough space on the drive” error, just wondering if not with just the Mac OS on it and nothing else will work? Or there’s simply not enough space regardless.

You can put a higher capacity SSD in the MBA, but it does use a custom form factor

I was able to install win 7. I’ve deleted and formatted all partitions whilst installing and now I have exclusively windows and all the space in one partition, just what I wanted!

Nice. You may be able to run Windows 10 if you want. If you install all the Windows 7 updates and install the Apple bootcamp drivers and all the updates for those you could then upgrade to Windows 10. Though you are running one of the oldest Macs which can run Windows 10 although not officially supported by Apple.
