      If I remember correctly, I went to the bootcamp assistant thing on the mac and from there I could uninstall. Or either just delete the file@@TheSuspiciouspleasurer

    Watched this after i installed windows on a macbook pro 2012 retina by bootcamp, i stopped reading about all the errors people had to handle with, made a bootable usb stick with the most recent windows 10 version, fully updated catalina mac os and it worked like a charm. Touchpad is off course a different experience but it runs smooth as butter.

    This video helped me a lot, thank you. I did however encounter two issues (to which I managed to resolve thanks to a few Google searches): 1) Wi-Fi did not automatically kick in because somehow Boot Camp installation did not activate the Wi-Fi Mac drivers, and as a consequence the installation was slow and clunky because Windows kept looking for the internet, and I did not have a cable to connect via ethernet. The drivers are available after the installation, and can be activated, the issue is how and when to get there (in my case it was about 9 hours of waiting); and 2) This video at 3:37 does not explain how to get to the install files for Boot Camp on Windows - the installer did not pop up automatically for me, so I needed to do a manual install. As a Mac guy who hasn't used Windows in decades, finding drivers and install files in Windows is a nightmare. But, again, nothing a Google search can't resolve. Thanks again.

      @@BreannLaFaye I hope it worked out for you. My experience was not a good one, at the end of the day Windows 10 via BootCamp was unbearably slow despite my iMac being relatively new (2019), with an i5 Intel processor and maxed out RAM, so Boot Camp has been permanently booted off my Mac.

    This tutorial SAVED me! The only other issue I ran into is my MAC was unable to connect to any WiFi network as if it was turned off thus I couldn’t complete Boot Camp on the first run. I had to connect Ethernet direct from router to MAC and then I was able to finish the installer for Boot Camp by going through folders on “This PC”. I can now access WiFi signals!

    • @caseytwill

    • @faithviray9043
      @faithviray9043 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      yeah, it has to do with how old your device is (anything outside of these models need a usb:
      MacBook (all models)
      MacBook Air introduced in 2017 or later
      MacBook Pro introduced in 2015 or later
      iMac introduced in 2015 or later
      iMac Pro (all models)
      Mac Pro introduced in late 2013 or later)
      you just need a blank usb inserted but all the other steps are the same i think

      Yes, On a windows keyboard, you have to shut down your computer. Then turn on your computer screen and once you see it light up, hold alt. Then you will see Macintosh HD and the Windows. Select Macintosh HD. On a mac keyboard, you turn off your computer, but instead, turn on the power button and hold CMD + R. Select Macintosh HD, and yeah.

    (MAKE SURE THIS GETS SEEN)
    (If possible PIN THIS)
    when I first tried this, I found that it needed a hard drive / usb drive* once I did this, it ran fine. UNTIL…
    When I did this all and got a usb drive, I was told that there was no bootable disc. If so you are not using a disc that can run the necessary partition table. I found that if you turn off the computer and hold Alt/Option until the bootable system menu appears, then you can select EFI BOOT and continue**
    I found that my usb drive was running a system that windows could not use to install WINDOWS 10. Windows needs a GPT DISK to install WINDOWS 10, not the MBR partition table I was using.
    Make sure you research this matter before using the tutorial.
    * 32GB worked for me, 8GB is not enough.
    ** make sure that you use EFI BOOT and not WINDOWS.

      *Part 2 of my comment as my last one was so long 😅*
      Can you please help me? I honestly have no clue what to do past this point. For some reason, the flash drive keeps getting changed back to MBR. Not sure why that's happening to be honest. Honestly, I’ve been going at this for over 3 days now and I’m almost ready to give up. I don't understand why it's THIS hard to install Windows 10 on an older Mac. It almost feels not worth it to be honest. Anyways, if there’s anything you can do to help, I would greatly appreciate it. Believe me, I’ve already done a lot to try and help myself through this… After days of doing tons of research, reading dozens of articles online and watching countless TH-cam videos, I'm still struggling to get this done. Again, I would greatly appreciate your help with this matter! Thank you!

    Been there, done that years ago… Window’s on my specked out 2015 Mac laptop absolutely sucks. The fans go crazy and I can’t stand using it on my Mac laptop which otherwise runs very quiet when running macOS. If you need both systems, you’re almost better off getting a cheap Windows laptop in addition to your Mac laptop or desktop. I also feel like Windows runs slow and is laggy on a Mac. My Mac laptop has a 1 TB hard drive, so I split it pretty much down the middle and it still sucks running Windows.

    • @TheLongIslanderYT
      @TheLongIslanderYT 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Eh, I'm using it currently on my 2019 16" MacBook Pro and there's really no lag. Though I do agree the fans ramp up when on Windows. However, I never really care about that because I have headphones on while playing a game or talking to someone anyway (also that happens on macOS as well when doing similar tasks, and I much rather have a cool computer than a hot computer) lol. My opinion is I rather not have an additional laptop, but again, my opinion. Doing whatever works for your workflow should be the goal.

    • @lachlanbrown8110

      I had no thermal issues when running Windows on my MB Air as a Fusion vm - and Fusion is far cheaper than buying a second laptop. Fusion also lets you have Windows running in, well, a window, without having to log out of the Mac OS. You can even drag and drop between Mac and PC folders. (Sadly, we still don't have Fusion for the M1 Macs, or even a release date from VMware.)

      Well you don't buy a Mac because you need windows . You buy a Mac for what it is. Beein able to switch back and forth is much better than having to complete boot the system separately 🤔. If you think otherwise Mac might not be the right solution for you. I don't say that just because I am an apple homie . But I sold thousands of mac's. Windows is like a swiss knife, you can do a lot but nothing works great . 90 % of my clients figure out after talking to me that they don't even need windows as most of the software they mention does run on Mac os by now. Or there is good alternatives.

    Gents, long story short: to install windows on your mac os without DVD mindfucking : 0. Make sure you have enough space available on your HDD. 1. Download official Windows iso image and leave it on Desktop 2. The most important: get your USB stick and FORMAT IT on your mac as APFS. 3. Launch the boot camp and follow the instructions. P.S. Most people fail because they use their USB stick with NTFS or EXFAT file system.
