#Installing Windows to 32-Bit EFI Mac’s
Short part here. So essentially one of the good selling points of these machines is to upgrade it as high as possible and make it a gamer for windows 7 (it can only run windows 7) for note much. The way these machines boot from what I can tell is it runs in startup as 32-Bit and in a running mode its in 64-Bit (OSX). Windows is too stupid to be able to do this so there is a modification that needs to be done. it changes the install files and the startup process to do the same as OSX.

I haven’t installed windows yet but I have the ISO made. Very straight forward and you will need a DVD. When I do get windows I will do FPS tests as I think it will give me better FPS from an updated line of drivers (I am pretty sure this is patched AMDGPU-PRO from the initial release but at least it has FUCKING 370 SUPPORT, AMD, LINUX, FOR FUCKS SAKE).
#And then I had to actually install it
So for whatever reason my CD that I burned fresh last night off of the iso that I made doesn’t install all the way. No worries, I had another windows 7 disc and I’m about to find out if it will boot or not. I can CDSwap the install discs apparently so thats fun :I if you have this problem with your install cd you created then it looks like you can just swap discs though I’m not seeing anything yet. I’ll write again later if anything happens.
Yoah it installed correctly. If you boot into the first disk successfully that you built with the tool I listed and can’t install from it for some reason but you have another windows 7 X64 disk handy get a paperclip and push the button on your cd drive and just swap disks it will work just fine.
