reinstall mac with boot camp


1. After press Command+R or Option to restore MAC from internet, check whether it's latest version and whether boot camp assistant is ready.
2. For Disk Utility, can show all device and make partition if there's some space cannot be found
3. Need copy the driver to the start-up USB Disk and need install from boot camp assistant
4. Can use NTFS for MAC from paragon if necessary.
5. If Windows 7 cannot install on that driver, can format and install

Now the issue is that although windows option is available from Mac, Mac is not an option from Windows bootcamp, it's ok as can press Option to choose.
Another issue is that the mac keyboard cannot be identifier, luckily I have an external keyboard.

Update: it turns out the keyboard's battery is dead, after replacing new battery, it's able to find it by remove the unknown device and add device (need input the number).
For the mac start option, it's caused by APFS system.

Can download windows 7 from these position, shasum is good:

1.
SYLVIA: Sue Jacobs and Gloria Dorella have comparable positions with a large multinational corporation.
Sue works at the U.S. headquarters and Gloria works at a foreign branch.
This is Gloria's first time in the U.S.
They are currently undergoing training together, and they have taken a break for coffee.
SUE: Is everything okay?
GLORIA: Well, if you don't mind my asking, do you think this coffee tastes all right?
SUE: Honestly, you don't have to be so diplomatic with me.
I've spent a lot of time abroad and I know what people think of American coffee.
Would you like something else?
GLORIA: No thanks, Sue. I'll survive.
You don't mind if I call you by your first name, do you?
SUE: Not at all. I prefer it.
So, what do you think of the training so far?
GLORIA: All in all, it's pretty good.
However, I sometimes have difficulty understanding the head trainer's accent.
Is English his first language?
SUE: Yes, but he's originally from New Zealand.
He became a U.S. citizen a couple of years ago.
And don't worry, I occasionally miss a word or two myself.
GLORIA: Really? Thank you for telling me.
It isn't always easy to know whether a question is appropriate or not.
SUE: No need to thank me.
Ask me anything you like, Gloria, and if I'm not comfortable answering, I'll let you know. Okay?
GLORIA: Okay. Actually, I have been wondering about something.
Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
SUE: I'm all ears.
GLORIA: Well, we have comparable positions in the company, but in different countries.
I was wondering how, in general, our compensation might differ.
SUE: To tell you the truth, Gloria, I don't really feel comfortable talking about that.
I think that's a question you should ask Human Resources.
GLORIA: Pardon me for asking, Sue.
Maybe we should get back to the training.
SUE: Please, no need to apologize.
And listen, don't take it personally if I don't answer all your questions.
Like I said, if I feel uncomfortable about something, I'm very up-front about it.
GLORIA: I appreciate your honesty.
SUE: My pleasure. We can talk again later.
2.
Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?
Not at all. Go ahead.
Are you looking for a long-term relationship?
I'd rather not answer that.
3.
In American English, the title "Miss" used for single women has become a bit outdated, especially with professional women. "Ms." (pronounced miz) is a safe bet in any situation. It's neutral and doesn't indicate whether the woman is married or not. If the woman prefers "Miss" or "Mrs." (pronounced misiz), she'll probably tell you.
4.
Don't overreact! It's not the end of the world.
