What's the easiest way to get a torrented copy of windows on a partition for my MacBook Air?
>>57083807
Buy preowned windows machine and swap harddrives
>>57083824
No, I want Windows and Mac on the drive I already have. Plus no normal hard drive fits in the air
>>57083850
>Plus no normal hard drive fits in the air
buy a thinner windows laptop, use their hard-drive. Then swap it back because it probably has better hardware too. Drop the delusion that you can use the apple OS for anything useful

Buy a preowned Mac and swap displays

I should have known better than to ask /g/ for advice with a Mac. I'm posting here because I want to use fucking windows, is that not good enough for you? I'll get a windows laptop when it has
>a good keyboard
>an even passable battery life
>a good trackpad
>a good ecosystem with iOS
>snappy word editing
So, how do I get Windows on it?
>>57083903
If you're stupid enough to not know that bootcamp exists then you don't deserve real answers.
>>57083903
> windows
> good enough for /g/
Install gentoo.
>>57083914
I was obviously talking about Bootcamp, I just need to know how to use it with torrented Windows.
>>57083903
you should be using GNU/Linux
Find a torrent of your choosing. Then burn the iso to a usb drive. Run bootcamp with the usb plugged in and follow the setup. Boot into windows. Crack with kmspico and download the proper drivers from the bootcamp site.
literally go to the piratebay, search up any copy of windows, done.

>a good ecosystem with iOS
that is not a hardware feature, dude. A decent Thinkpad thats dual-booting with OSX does everything you listed there, pal

You can't boot MacOS on a window you stupid idiot, the hardware is completely different. It's like trying to boot iOS on an android.
>>57083807
Torrent. Put on bootable thumb drive. Run. The boot camp assistant software.
Wow that was hard. Google could have told you the same thing.
>>57084080
How much free space do I need? I have a hugeass 64GB SSD in here, so I'm not worrying too much.
>>57084100
64GB? You're fucked.
Windows will eat like 20GB.
>>57083973
Yeah except nothing works. Even a Thinkpad running Linux has shitty support, and it's one of the best supported laptops.
>>57084055
>You can't boot MacOS on a window
>It's like trying to boot iOS on an android
are you serious or just baiting?
>>57083824
That often doesn't work to well on Windows. It makes some assumptions on hardware during boot.

Stop trying to run Slackware 95.

>enter serial (not even needed if you download a preactivated copy)
Jesus how stupid are you
>>57084152
You can install the most consumer tier distro and you'll still have trackpad and graphic problems that you wouldn't have on Windows

After 9 hours of work... it'll still be unstable as fuck
>>57084191
Aye lad what I'll do is spend 24 hours making a shitty unstable install of an OS where half the peripherals don't work and then do the same every time it's updated
sound lad cheers

These cheap ass wannabe Macfags are so goddamn lame.

Have you ever tried to make windows iso boot of a usb ???
sorry OP it is hard. you will need to do alot of googling about converting the iso and writing it
try searching the torrents for pre made windows 7 bootable usb iso
P.S. i have a mac air runnning mint. i am not going to be asshole and say intall gentoo. But a bootable *nix is easier than win to be perfecly honest familam
I used to work at a co. that did laptop repairs and there was a site where you could get a d/l of Windows really easily, without it being illegal. I can't remember the site.
I think you needed a Windows sticker though
>>57084339
Digital River. The old links don't work anymore. And yeah, you either needed a legit key for the version you installed or a loader.
>>57083807
Right listen here, OP.
If you work in a place that uses Windows or go to uni then you can take a code form one of their computers, because they don't use the install that came with the computer so all those codes are unused. I've done it loads of times.
The Windows .iso is available on the Microsoft website, just Google "Windows .iso download" and it'll be the first one.
Just stick the code you got form work/uni into the box and voila, free windows
