I need help installing Windows 7 on my Mac Pro 2013 PLEASE

I just got a new unused Mac Pro 2013 and it came with mac os monterey installed by the reseller

I NEED to use Windows 7 for work and games, because of the programs i use.

I tried making bootable USBs many ways and burned an iso to a dvd

It either didnt recognize the bootable disk or when i started the installation it got stuck on "windows loading files" or something similar


Loner T please save me, or anyone that knows how to fix this!!!


I even tried to make a bootable usb with sierra since it supports bootcamp for windows 7 but it didnt recognize it.

Mac Pro, macOS 12.7

Unfortunately @LonerT has not posted on this forum for some time now.


Apple's documentation no longer includes any mention of Windows 7, so I'm not sure it is possible anymore. Apple's documentation only mentions installing Windows 10 using Bootcamp Assistant.

Edit: Also, the older Windows activation servers have been taken down by Microsoft so you would not be activate older versions of Windows.
