Note: Periodically, Apple may provide updated Boot Camp drivers, which you can
download and install using Apple Software Update. To check for updated drivers
manually, go to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.

Starting Up Using Mac OS X or Windows

Once you’ve installed Windows and the Boot Camp drivers, you can start using
Windows on your Mac. Boot Camp makes it easy to start up your computer using either
Mac OS X or Windows. You can set the default operating system for your computer
using Startup Disk preferences (Mac OS X) or the Boot Camp control panel (Windows).
You can also select an operating system as your computer is starting up.

Setting the Default Operating System

You can use the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences in Mac OS X to set the default
operating system for starting up your computer. Boot Camp also installs a Boot Camp
control panel that lets you set the default operating system when you’re running
Windows.

To set the default operating system in Mac OS X:

1

In Mac OS X, choose Apple () > System Preferences.

2

Click Startup Disk.

3

Select the startup disk with the operating system you want to use by default.

4

If you want to start up that operating system now, click Restart.
