can this version, since it is an OEM, be used for installation using boot camp on an early 2011 macbook pro?

Absolutely. I installed Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac via boot camp. I am running Mountain Lion OS on my Mac by the way. Also, my Mac has a 2.66 ghz processor and 8 GB of RAM. Windows 7 runs flawlessly, buttery smooth and lightning fast. You will love it. My only regret is I should have made the partition larger. I only devoted 80 GB to Windows, I wish i had devoted 200 GB of my 1 terabyte drive. Also, when you get to the point of formatting the drive during installation when Windows starts, choose ADVANCED and format the partition in the NTSB format. Windows will only run in this format, NOT the default FAT format that boot camp creates.

Wile I didn't come across any programs/Apps that were non Flight Simulator related that didn't function properly. I wouldn't rule it out for your MacBook.

I don't think the model where it's installed matters, but once it's installed it's linked to the motherboard in some way so it can't be used on another machine for another installation and activation, even if the first machine dies.

I currently have these installed in a MacBook Pro Non-Retina 2012 15-inch with 2.6GHz Dual-core i7. It would wonderfully. I never have low memory issues and it improved performance when multitasking with several programs such as IBM SPSS 20, Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. I believe the specs for the 2011 are similar in memory to the late 2012 models. If so, I would not hesitate on this purchase.

It should, provided that the product key is valid. But why would you want to install a unsupported OS onto a new system?

It should work and update all the software on you mac book pro including the os system before you install it and clean the old he and get it right first then swap

Yes, the drive is compatible and would probably boost your performance if employed as a boot drive.

This is a full version... The difference between this one and the boxed version is that there is no Microsoft customer support include. As for installing on your MAC, yes this version will work. You can use Bootcamp that came with your MAC to dual boot or purchase and install Parallels which will allow you to run it virtually inside of OSX.

I have a Mac Pro 5,1.Yes it will work as bootable, but not fast to load. Also, you can't use option to select drives on boot. It's a bit of a PITA.

I have Mt Lion, I am not sure if there are any issues with previous OS's.. I can't imagine it being a problem, especially if you're using it as a sole hard drive.. I have the stock 1TB hdd as a secondary internal in my 2012 Mac mini, and if you pay attention to the OWC instructions on setup, it works like a dream. I can only imagine hardware not being compatible if anything. I really don't know 100%, but I assume you will be safe

I have 2007 macbook 13" and it will not boot up internally. works fine externally so I don't think it's compatible. I have seen others post about this on mac forums.

I'm not sure what bootcamp is, I have not used that. On my Mac Air it works fine for regular Ethernet and Thunderbold

It works on older MacBook Pros that have an ExpressCard slot. I don't know about Mavericks or Windows 7 with BootCamp, but I wouldn't expect the OS to cause a problem with ExpressCard functionality.

Honestly, I can't answer that. I assumed so, but now that you ask I'm not sure. You'd have to ask the OEM. I have it in my 2011 MacBook Pro running a 1TB spinning drive just for backup and data storage, so I don't need all that blazing fast of a connection.

It's compatible unless you want to create a boot drive. In other words, you can use it for file backup, including Time Machine according to someone else who reviewed it (I never tried), etc. What you can't do on Mac and the reason I returned it, is create a clone of your internal Mac drive from which you could boot in case the internal drive failed. One caution: this was true when I tried four months ago. I have not checked to see if Buffalo has made any changes since then.

Yes. It should work. But please check out this video first. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Early+2011+Hard+Drive+Replacement/5119There may be a cut-off between early 2011 & eary 2012. There are also some kits that allow you to upgrade to Hybrid or SSD.Hope this helps.

This depends on your particular model of Macintosh. If your Mac originally came with a version of 10.3 or higher, you will not be able to install 10.2. If the Mac originally shipped with 10.2 or lower, then yes, you can erase the OS and install 10.2. As for OS 9, I believe only the PowerPC Mac, not Intel Macs, can install those.

Also, give BootCamp a shot. It's a free download on the Apple website. The only downside is that you would have to dual-boot the Mac, which means, if you want to use the Windows apps, you would have to reboot your Mac into the Windows OS. I would recommend Parallels, but if $80 is not in the budget, BootCamp is the best alternative.

Yes. I put the 120gb version in a 2006 MacBook pro first generation intel core duo and it breathed new life into an aging but still viable laptop. Boots up in under 15 seconds.
