Legacy Bios on a Late 2007 Macbook 64bit CPU


i have late 2007 macbook , run newer os on it.

install 64 bit windows 7 / 8.1.

guides find online seems reference other macs find myself piecing information them inconsistant least.

have far learnt have 64bit processor running 32bit efi (or uefi).

apparently, can have mac boot legacy bios mode enable install of windows, potentially 64bit nativly need figure out steps involved in doing so.

completly aware bootcamp allow 32bit windows 7 accept painfull challenge of getting windows 7 64bit on , hunting down drivers potentially trying out 8.1 upgrade 7.

dont care dual booting , using or not using bootcamp close notive install possible.

brun got 7 64 working here fails mention if had 32 or 64bit efi eitherway used bootcamp im guessing had 64bit efi https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2629094?tstart=0


edit seems overthinking it. vista source...http://superuser.com/questions/73965/remove-mac-os-x-and-install-windows

1 insert mac os lion install disc

2 reboot holding down alt/option key , select cd drive/lion install disk

3 utilities menu, select disk utility.

4 select hard drive list , click partition tab / button.

5 click options button , select “master boot record” partition scheme. click ok.

6 volume scheme drop down list, select 1 partition. select ms-dos (fat) format (not matters since reformat using ntfs during vista install).

7 click apply.

8 reboot holding down alt/option key.

9 when graphical boot menu appears, hit eject button. take out os x install disc , put in windows 7 install disc select it.

10 proceed through windows 7 install. problems drivers might start?

11 follow normall process of installing windows partition created re-formatting ntfs when warned

12 once windows installed manualy install latest drivers extracting them bootcamp software per this. http://tsentas.net/bootcamp-x64-unsupported/

can see why might not work?

also, i'm told mac if 7 64 running sweet upgrade 8/8.1 works fine.
