Hi guys,

So just recently i purchased a refurbished 20-inch, Early 2008 Imac trough my university, (i work there) since they are getting new models.

Anywhoo, i've been trying really hard to get windows 8 on it to install, but whenever i use bootcamp, and point to my bootable usb, and windows 8.iso i it keeps telling me that bootcamp only supports windows 7.

Now after some more browsing i find out that my Imac apparently does not support windows 8, and i need to install it by different means.

Is there anyone out there who doesn't mind helping me with the correct steps into getting windows 8 on my Imac ? :).

Here's my Imac specs incase they are needed :
Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Imac : 20-inch, Early 2008
Processor : 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics : ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128 MB

Thank you very much for any help provided.

Cheers,
