Can I instal windows on Macbook Air?

Question

Can I install windows on Mac-book Air? Wont it have any problem such as some functions stop working or keep on hanging or any other problem?

Answer 1

Nope you should have no problems but why would u want to. Os X is more stable then windows could ever be. Your wasting your computer if you have windows. Either stick with OS x or get a distro of linux

Answer 2

Macs have switched to an intel processor which means that they can now run windows and, in fact, the fastest laptop to run windows is the Macbook Pro.  Mac provides drivers for the windows environment so that it can use all the devices that are part of your macbook air (such as the track pad, ports, isight camera, network card) without any problems.

I run both mac and windows on my macbook.

The only problem with a Macbook Air, in order to install windows as a boot camp partition (that is dual boot), you need the USB superdrive that apple also sell. See this knowledge base article for more infoi

The other option is to run windows as a virtual machine. These are slower than a boot camp partition, but means you can run windows and mac side by side rather than one or the other. There are two pieces of software that can make this possible on a mac:

Vmware - http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/

Parallels - http://www.parallels.com/en/desktop/

I use vmware as I find it faster and easier to use the parallels.

Hope this helps
