I purchased Windows 7 directly from Microsoft, downloaded it, burned the ISO to DVD as a boot disc, partitioned via bootcamp and, when prompted, allowed Windows to install from the DVD. During this process, per the instructions from Apple, I formatted the BOOTCAMP partition so 64 bit would run.<br />
<br />
Windows 7 works beautifully except for the sound, which is why I wanted to upgrade so I could get the drivers installed / working. If I could just get the sound drivers going, I'd be happy stopping there.

Good Day, Experts -<br />
<br />
I am running Windows 7 64bit over Bootcamp 3.0.1. When I attempt to update to Bootcamp 3.1 from my Snow Leopard disc, I'm told 64 bit isn't supported on my iMac model. I have confirmed I am running 64 bit. When I try to update from the 3.1 download from Apple, I'm told that I must first upgrade to 3.0. I have confirmed I am running 3.0.1.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Tom

Why won't Bootcamp 3.1 install over 3.0.1 (313)?

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.
