How does it work

The Lion-Tech Installer is a Mac application which will prepare your Mac to run Windows, download all the necessary files and then start the Windows installation. The entire process contains just 3 steps:

Choose the Windows version you want to install. Lion-Tech Installer offers Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. In case you own a Windows license, you can also insert your product key.
You can adjust the amount of hard drive space to be dedicated to Windows and OS X partitions, but the default setting is suitable for most users.
Wait for Lion-Tech Installer to download all the necessary Windows files before the installation begins.

From now on, each time you start your Mac, Lion-Tech Boot Manager allows you to choose the operating system you want to boot. You can see the overview of the entire process on screenshots below.

Absolutely. Lion-Tech Installer won't affect your warranty in any way.

If you already own a Windows license, you will be prompted to insert the product key and select the corresponding edition of Windows which will be installed.
