Here are the keyboard shortcuts that allow you to get the functionality of these keys on your MacBook Pro. For example there is no Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Print Screen, Del, or Windows key. Many of the standard Windows keys that you are used to aren’t on the keyboard.

The keyboard is large and feels good to type with, but it is with the keyboard that you may run into problems when you start using Windows 7. Using the MacBook Pro keyboard for Windows 7 No three or four fingered gestures are supported yet. You can also configure the track pad to accept a single click in either the bottom left, or bottom right of the screen for the right click. Moving up and down with two fingers will scroll the current page up and down.Īs there are no left/right buttons on the trackpad you have to click with a single finger for left-click, and click using two fingers for right-click. Moving across the trackpad with a single finger moves the mouse cursor as you’d expect. The MacBook has a large multi-touch track pad and Apple have allowed some of the multi-touch functionality to be used in Windows. Using the MacBook Pro track pad for Windows 7 And once I’ve submitted my user details it takes another 15 seconds for the desktop to be fully loaded (with all the taskbar icons in place and for the mouse cursor to be idle).

And if you want a writable shared partition I’ve written up my own instructions for how to add a third shared writable partition to your MacBook hard drive.

On a previous post I’ve put links to the Boot Camp install instructions. Installing and setting up Windows 7 using Boot Camp is simple and takes less than an hour (most of that time is take by Windows 7 installing and setting itself up). I installed the 32 bit edition of Windows 7 rather than the 64 bit version on the assumption that more 3rd party software and drivers would be compatible with the 32 bit version. Some parts of this review would be applicable for running Windows 7 on any Mac, but other parts may be specific to the 2010 MacBook Pro 13 inch. This is one of the 2.4GHz models with 4GB of RAM. I’m going to review what it is like to use Windows 7 Home Premium on a 2010 MacBook Pro 13 inch.
