I'm a CnC fan (not hardcore, but still), mainly for RA2/YR and TW/KW, and playing these inside Fusion is really a subsubpar experience. Due to the age of these games and their compatibility problems on Windows 8 and higher^[RA2/YR used to have problems even on Windows 7, at least inside Fusion, so I used to play them in XP SP3 VMs; I've yet to try them with Windows 7 running on bare metal.], I chose to shoot for a Windows 7 install. Apple has a pretty thorough walkthrough in the support article [Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205016). There are, however, some catches that I would like to collect and share in this post. |
