And a W10 license that I could use to reinstall. I did have to use the W10 upgrade program (the notification did not seem to work well) when running W7 on the MacMini, and after making space (15GB are needed) and selecting Windows as the BootCamp default booting system (for the reboots), everything went smoothly: all the programs were there, all the drivers and I had a 32bit W10 working. So I procrastinated and did nothing for a while.Īfter the Microsoft e-mails of "29th of July is the last day of the free upgrade offer", I backed up all relevant files, and hoped for the best. When upgrading to W10, I decided that I'd like to move to 64bits. Afterwards, I upgraded to 8GB (and an SSD for good measure), but never got to upgrade W7 to 64 bit, as that needed a reinstall. I had installed Windows 7 32 bit with bootcamp on my Mac Mini 3,1 (aka early 2009), as back then I did not have too much RAM, only 2GB, and supposed 32 bit would work better with that memory. And with the free W10 offer expired, the information may be less useful now. Unfortunately, the way to do it was slightly tortuous, reflecting the history of my Mac.
