Will this game run on my iMac 27" in BOOTCAMP WINDOWS if my iMac is tested as incompatible?

Will this game run on my iMac 27" in BOOTCAMP WINDOWS if my iMac is tested as incompatible?

I checked the minimum Mac requirement, found in several posts it can run on other Macs with lower specs than mine, and just an hour ago purchased this game from AppleStore. During the downloading/installation, I found my iMac is unfortunately not compatible with this game.

Is it possible that the game can still run under Bootcamp Windows 7 on this same iMac? If yes, whether or how can I switch to Windows 7 version?

Thank you very much.

Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5

You can register your key at gog.com:

This will give you access to both the Windows and Mac versions.

Stormur.
Thanks. I just played the game and I couldn't stop
Weird the website testing app (http://www.thewitcher.com/checkyourmac) said my 3 macs are all incompatible but it did run.

With the setting of 1600X900 and medium specs, it runs ok, laggy some time (might be other apps or sync running in the background), but playable at least for easy mode.
I wonder if Windows 7 version would run smoother as it is less demanding.

Kodaemon,

Thank you as well. Do you happen to know where I could find the product key? I registered the game from the launcher but couldn't find any code in the launcher or in my profile. Besides, I do not know where to find the billing from App Store. I did send a request for product key verification at http://www.thewitcher.com/backup/ although I don't know what exactly to attach in the request.

Cheers,

Alas, I have no experience with the App Store.

No problem. Will see how the witcher's team replies.

Just a side note for those who have similar concerns as I:

The Witcher 2 runs 90% of time smoothly on my 2009 iMac with the following configurations:

1600 X 900
Medium Specs
+ Medium RAM buffer
+ Vertical Sync disabled
