That is an extension of my last article wherein I mentioned the usability of old MacBooks compared to the practically useless Windows XP and Home windows Vista nowadays.
As I mentioned in my preceding article, I am amazed by the usability and overall performance of vintage MacBooks. I’ve been the use of a 2006 MacBook (Intel Core Duo) with OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and my HP Pavilion (Intel Core i5) running Windows 8. Each is comparable for each day’s tasks, like browsing the net, ordering pizza, checking email, phone syncing, watching films, and many others.
I am sincerely satisfied with the performance of my MacBook, but I needed to run some programs that I bought for my Windows Vista computer. Consequently, I determined to try Boot Camp to run Windows 7 on the same MacBook. The Boot Camp manner couldn’t be better. It’s far superior to another “dual-boot” software that I’ve ever used. Once OS X is running and Boot Camp Assistant is started, you’ll install Windows in the blink of an eye. Home windows installation runs like any Intel-based laptop, and when the setup is complete, the MacBook can be started in either OS X or Windows.
Maximum device drivers have been efficaciously identified and installed at some point of the setup method, but Home windows could not properly apprehend the audio card and digital camera. I spent quite a while searching for the right drivers. I went through many websites that suggested Realtek drivers for the audio card. I found several versions of those drivers and hooked them up with our success.

I came across a web page inside Apple’s website wherein I studied that drivers for these gadgets are not to be had for Windows 7 or above. I was about to surrender, but determined to give it one more attempt. I downloaded the Boot Camp 4 Help software program. I thought this wouldn’t work because I’m the usage of Boot Camp 3. Consequently, I no longer installed the whole thing. I first tried installing the audio drivers without success. Then I ran the setup program for the digital camera, and I was surprised to see the audio card coming to life as well. It looks like the digicam setup manner also includes drivers for the sound card. The cease of the tale is that I have a ten-year-old computer that runs both Mac OS X and Windows 7 with similar overall performance as a mid-2015 i5 laptop for 1/3 of the cost.
