It doesn't match what you're looking for. Use the bootcamp tool inside the supported latest MacOS/OSX version of your device. As for the story: recently I fixed a Mac and took out its hard drive, swapping in a spare. After turning it on, I realized the drive held a Windows 10 installation instead of OS X—Mac booted fine, but it shouldn't have. It was possible to run Windows 10 on a PC drive in a Mac, though rarely successful.

I attempted to use bootcamp but encountered issues. I’m running version 10.6.3 snow leopard. I plan to install an SSD with Windows 10 on another laptop and test it. It’s unusual that it booted into a 64-bit Vista installation but not into Windows 7.

Windows Vista was the only supported version for Macs back then, not older releases like 7 or 10. Let's look into the bootcamp issue. What occurred?

It doesn't work with a USB drive, so using a DVD is the best choice. I've had success before by installing Windows 10 directly on another system, and Vista is currently the latest that functions. You can install Windows 10 on the HDD via another PC. Try setting up Windows Vista x64, then upgrade to Windows 7 x64, and finally to Windows 10 x64. This method has previously functioned well. Bootcamp isn't reliable on these older MacBooks unless you're installing Windows XP; it's better to install straight from the DVD.

I pressed “Start Installation” and a Windows 7 disc was inserted, which then prompted for a CD-ROM selection.

You may need to test Vista.

It's unusual to find a claim about supporting version 7.

Is it a direct copy of the original Windows 7 installation file?
