dual-boot windows 7 xubuntu 18.04 on macbook air
)
I'm currently running xubuntu 16.04 on a mid-2011 macbook air without OSX. I received a new SSD and would like to attempt a dual-boot with windows 7 and xubuntu 18.04 on it (did that successfully on a Dell laptop). Given that it's an empty SSD, should I be aware of anything before starting? Or can I proceed in the same way: installing windows and then xubuntu alongside it? Thanks!

Mac is EFI or pre UEFI or UEFI v1 after renaming. Probably better to install both Windows and Ubuntu in UEFI boot mode, but Windows 7 either needs the latest DVD or modifications to move boot files for UEFI boot. Many with Mac use rEFInd. rodsbooks.com/refind
