I successfully installed Windows 7 on my mid 2007 iMac (stuck at Mac OS X 10.9.5), using Boot Camp, and then updated to Windows 10 because my University is ending support for Windows 7.
It's a great computer, and while it's aging, I have 6 GB of RAM, 250 gb SSD, and it runs and looks great and I can continue to use it in my lab.
I noticed it is using a generic Microsoft display adapter and not an ATI branded driver. After reading a few threads in our Community and going to AMD web site, it looks like there may only be a Windows 8 version driver, but it's not clear if it's compatible or how to install under Windows 10.
I've read one thread about using Windows 7 compatibility mode, but before I take any chances, I figured I'd ask this group for clarification.
I downloaded the file "13-1-legacy_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc.exe" file from AMD/ATI web page, but am apprehensive about installing.
Any clear advice (steps) would be appreciated.
