Install Windows 10 on an iMac without Bootcamp Assistant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- In this video I will explain how to install Windows 10 on an Apple iMac late 2015 without using Bootcamp Assistant. This method can be used to install both only Windows on your iMac or to create a dual boot with macOS and Windows or in case you experience issues using Bootcamp Assistant.
In the video I will explain how to:
1) Create the Windows installation media and get the drivers using Brigadier
You can find Brigadier on Github: github.com/tim...
2) Partition the disk for dual boot if you want macOS and Windows to co-exist
3) Install Windows 10
4) Install the necessary drivers and updates
5) Explain how to switch between Windows and macOS and choose which one to boot by default.

My old MacBook pro which was collecting dust has been repurposed for my son who needs it for engineering because of this video, you are the g.o.a.t. man, keep up the good work!
After straggling with windows installation for eons finally you’ve rescued me. Thanks bro 🤜🏾
Most concise and simplest process I've found yet to install Windows on a Mac without the Mac OS. Worked the first time. Thank you!
Great to hear!
Thanks very much for this comprehensive and clear video. Really excellent. I've just installed Win 10 Pro on my MacBook Pro 2016 and banished bootcamp forever!
TYSM!!!!! Your video was so helpful! I’ve been trying for almost a week now, but I kept on getting an error on Bootcamp, so thank you for the guide to install Windows without Bootcamp! Now I can finally play Windows games on my Mac :)
hi, were you getting an error about failing to partition the disk?
are you able to play windows steam games with this?
we have the same reason to downward it hhhh
The only tutorial that saved me , thank you brother , running catalina and windows 10 on macbook pro 2009
i installed in my macbook pro , installed drivers everything ok , but when i press alt the windows is not in there in startup
@@thekakashi100 update bootcump drivers
This process was by far the easiest way I've been able to get Windows loaded. I only needed Windows to run an older version of Photoshop since various versions of photoshop do not work on Mac. This was a simple way to accomplish this. For whatever reason, I couldn't get Boot Camp Assistant to complete, it'd fail at various spots but your video resolved that. I wish I'd found it sooner rather than spending several hours. I've never had issues with BCA before today so I'm a little shocked but glad it was an easy resolution.
I had installed VMWare Fusion to run windows as a VM but performance took a hit (of course). That said, sometimes I need windows just for a few minutes so rather than doing a full reboot into the Windows OS, I'll launch VMWare Fusion where I have VMWare setup to run Bootcamp partition as a VM. If I'm going to be working for a few hours in Photoshop, I'll do a full reboot to take advantage of all of the hardware. Best of both worlds!
Dude this is actually accurate with me. Bootcamp didnt allow me to partition the disk, so ima try, and i will let know if it works.
@@duckydaduck69 It worked here, good luck my friend!
@@samuelribeiro7220 your luck paid off, i now own a 2013 imac that actually worked. tysm
Worked perfectly on a 2012 MacBook Pro. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for this. I had worked on this for a few days and now finally solved. Really Good.
Glad it helped!
Bro.... following your video I just finish to install Windows 11 Pro with no TPM and minimum RAM restriction on IMac 27" from 2011. I have a lot of experience with windows install but just a little bit with IOS. You are good. Cheers bro. Your video and you are the best. :)
Great info! Bootcamp utility is rotten to the bone, as if Apple does not want you to use Windows, I always have the actual install option greyed out with that. So skip it and use this tutorial.
I found Rufus to be the preferable way to burn the disc, not Media Creation Tool, as it allows you to store the ISO on some external disk and create installation drives over and over again, not depending on a download for every USB stick creation.
Second: Brigadier does not download to the location of Brigadier, but to the user home folder, and the outcome is a DMG, so you have to mount that on a mac and drag the contents to a USB drive.
Good video - very helpful for re-purposing my old mid-2011 iMac
Did it work?
Thank you for sharing this process with us. It was really helpful!
Just installed W11 on MacBook Pro 2013 :)
Everything worked but when I got to the part where you install the setup on boot camp it says that it is not supported by my version or something like that. Also idk if its because of that or not but if I turn it off and then turn it back on it goes to automatic repair so the only way I can use it is if I download windows from my USB again
This happened to me too. I was able to install windows and I got it to install boot camp drivers using the compatibility troubleshooting but when it restarts it takes me to the repair menu and I can’t boot back into windows
Does it save your data when you reboot?
@@Sun_Tzu13 yes
@@eringuet nope. It ended up making my laptop not have audio at all. Like the red light that shows in the audio jack lights up and I can’t get audio in macOS anymore. So I don’t recommend doing this on older macs but my MacBook Air 2015 worked really well with it and ran windows 11 buttery smooth unlike macOS Monterrey
Just creating windows 10 usb installer using unetbootin
later 2022, if you're looking at this vid, there're couple of things not mentioned or doesn't work as follows.
here's solution.
- You must install 7-zip, without it, the brigadier might not work properly.
- So download 7-zip exe for windows and keep it with brigadier.exe
- after installing win10 on new partition, install 7-zip first, then move brigadier on a desktop
- start cmd, go to desktop and execute bridadier.exe
- You DO NOT need to make a dedicated folder such as "imac" for brigadier, since it'll create the bootcamp file.
- You DO NOT need to know your mac model number, you BETTER NOT type "--Model" number when execute brigadier.
- If you indicate specific model by using "--model #.#" it might download wrong assets
- Just execute "brigadier" in cmd, it will check and download what your mac need.
Thank u so much, the easiest method ever to get both operating system running smoothly on MAC device, thanks again.
Thank you so much, it worked perfectly. I was struggling with Bootcamp, a lot of errors.
How awesome to know there's an alternative to the Bootcamp Assistant! I have an old 2011 iMac with a built-in optical drive, and BCA forces me to install Windows via that drive instead of USB media or an external ODD, which is a big problem because that I found out that drive was broken last time I needed to do a clean install, and now the one that I replaced it with is also broken despite not being used (supposedly these drives just aren't meant to be oriented vertically). Such difficulties with Bootcamp over the years have made me really hate Apple. Anyway, thank you very much!
Did you get this working on your machine? I have same model and experiencing the same issue
@@T1N016 Sorry, I never actually tried it. I'd like to upgrade to the most recent compatible OS X release, but it's not valuable enough to risk the headache.
@@T1N016 I decided to try it after all, along with using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to install Mac OS Monterey. Monterey seems to work okay but so far Windows is going pretty badly.
I did get Windows 10 installed, after a few failures (the problem seemed to be Windows automatically installing a display driver during setup, solution seemed to be skipping every skippable step), and then installed the bootcamp drivers (which initially said they required Windows 7, but agreed to install after running the program in compatibility mode). It seemed okay for 5-10 minutes but then the GPU crashed or something and the display became immensely distorted. Windows rebooted automatically, still looked the same, rebooted again, I used Safe Mode and it looked fine again, but otherwise it doesn't load properly. Working on it...
@@T1N016 It's working now. Figured out the problem is a graphics driver Windows Update installs at windows\system32\drivers\igdkmd64.sys, deleted it and the crash has stopped. Had some trouble getting the graphics drivers to work right, but after a few tries the ATI drivers installed correctly, which didn't work right but then allowed me to update them via device manager. The audio wasn't working at all for a while, and I'm not entirely sure how I fixed it. I re-ran the sound-related installers individually from the Brigadier folder (Cirrus, ITT SigmaTel, Marvell, RealTek); I thought I had tried it and it didn't work, but then I did it again and the audio worked after reboot. Maybe the order matters (Cirrus is the one that shows up in device manager anyway). Minor problems remain:
1) Trying to open Boot Camp control panel says "an error occurred while trying to access startup disk settings, you may not have privileges, make sure you're an administrator" (I am). Could definitely be because of the OpenCore Legacy Patcher. I can still choose which system to boot with alt/option key (actually rn I have it set to always go to the OCLP boot loader where I can choose Mac or Windows, because Windows is only bootable from that boot loader, not the default Mac one, and you don't have much time to hold alt/option between , but since it fails to open the panel at all after that error, I can't select the "use f1, f2, etc. as standard function keys" option for the Apple keyboard. Hopefully there's some other way to do that part. Apple Software Update also didn't work right at first, but I fixed that part by using brigadier with --model imacpro1,1, then using the software update installer that came with that bundle.
2) Can't create a system restore point, says the shadow copy service isn't working right... I think this may have been a problem before though. I never manually used the restore point tool before, but the backup software I used always failed to load the shadow copier for some reason. But maybe it's an OCLP issue or something else, I don't know.
Seems good enough now that the audio's working. It does seem a little glitchy but I'm not sure yet. I do think a lot of this would be easier if I were just doing the method described in the video with just a normal Mac High Sierra installation instead of OCLP, which is probably not really worth the extra variables. I'll update if something else big turns out to not work or if I manage to fix any other issues.
@@dertwerst wow dude thank you for this update! I just gave up and booted only windows on my imac 2011! I will give it a shot for the next opportunity
Thank u very much bro my I reseted my mac and can't reinstall os x so I try windows and your video help me a lot
Life saver bro I was in frustration for the last few days❤❤❤
Im running MacOS 10.13, and whenever I try to install homebrew through terminal an error pops up. I thought it was a typo so I checked myself a couple of times and it’s not. Can you help please? Also I’m using an iMac late 2011 so I can’t update the OS to a later software than High Sierra.
I should mention also that I tried to make bootable USB through windows 10 using brigadier and whenever I enter the model name which is iMac 12,1 it wouldn’t download any files from the command prompt
Thank you this works. Just a quick note. I installed Windows directly (via USB) by cleaning the whole disk and took me a long time to figure it out and I found your video. Then my challenge was finding the Mac Identifier and done that via Apple Site with the S/N under the Macbook Air.
This is why i would never use an Apple Product. Eveything must be difficult for the rest of the World!
Cheers mate.
Glad it helped!
Excellent tutorial! Many thanks!
this video is brilliant and is. easy to follow thanks
Great guide. Thanks for the help.
thnaks you saved my day
😃 This guy really deserves a like,
nice work. i’m going to try using this method for a triple boot.
Good luck!
This was an excellent tutorial
Thank you very much, this is very helpful indeed! I did have a particular problem, though, probably because I have a Fusion drive on my iMac. I got an error message when I tried to install Windows to the partition created by Mac disk utility, and couldn't get around it as I had another disk in the system (Fusion drives consist of 2 disks, as we know). Apparently, the Windows installer doesn't like that and wants only one disk in the system. Anyway, I found a way to combine your method with Boot Camp Assistant. Basically, instead of partitioning the Mac disk myself, I let Boot Camp Assistant do that job for me and then, when Boot Camp Restarted, I pressed Option on chose the USB drive installer instead. I installed Windows on the BOOTCAMP partition created by the Mac, and Windows accepted it without problems. The rest was according to your video.
sup
Mac illiterate here, can you please explain this a little better? I tried partitioning a drive in my Windows computer. All seemed perfect, installed the boot media on the smaller partition but then bootcamp assistant doesn't want to work with the second partition. Tried Disk Utility and it gave me errors... I'm lost at this point. I was hoping to split a "One Touch" into two volumes.
@@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla Hi, the trick is not to use the hard drive to do the installation but a USB stick. You need to have a bootable Windows installer USB (you can create one using "Create Windows 10 installation media here: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10). You have it inserted and ready, and when the BootCamp Assistant has finished creating the partitions and restarts right before launching the Windows installation, you have to press and hold the Option key on your Mac and choose the USB stick as the startup drive. The Windows will start installing from the USB, and when the installer asks for the disk where to install it, only then you will select the BOOTCAMP disk partition prepared by the assistant.
@@mareksgraudins5544 I've been stuck in the "Windows couldn't prepare your computer for the next phase of the installation"... This is annoying me to the core because I've been working on this for weeks now and I'm losing hope for a usable Windows installation (I've gained a lot of experience during this time and own Parallels so I'm happy for that)...I noticed, I also have a fusion drive on my iMac mini 3.0Ghz with Intel. Parallels is great and all but I want to run windows by itself, as I know things will slow down as time moves on.
@@MacCentrisSimpleSencilla Sorry to hear that. I don't think I have a solution to this particular error message as I did not experience it. Normally the installation should work somehow - I can only suggest you keep trying different approaches...
Gracias, muy bien explicado, hace 3 meses que no podía instalar Windows, por un error con el chip M1 el MacBook estaba inservible
Thank you very much! Fantastic Video, very usefull!
good to watch hope'in i can set windows on my mac thanks
when i click on the usb in the boot drive select menu it just freezes. i have used diskpart to clean and format the disck. trying to do boot on 2008 imac 8,1
I have the same problem have you found solution ?
I need help please, when I start pendrive my windows freezen on blue screen and turn off, I can not find solution for this
Just to note command key will be the windows key in windows and windows key command key in Mac OS!
thank you very much.. very clear explanation..
most Informative... 7 star rating. Thanks
Glad it was helpful.
SOOOO CLEAR THANK YOU !!!!
my macbookpro9,1 when doing the brigadier.exe thingy says ''Couldn't find a Boot Camp ESD for the model MacbookPro9,1 in the given software update catalog.'' what now?
You can try to do without downloading the bootxamp package and then install drivers through Windows Update and if anything is missing, add it manually.
@@jensdbe if there's is no option to boot to the USB should I give up?
Great! i did all the steps everything went wel!! untill it was time to boot into windows and it just got stuck and never booted again! great tutorial if you want to brick a disk!
FREEZE FIX: If anyone is getting freezing during the first install boot, simply boot into OSX first plug your bootable Windows USB and run first aid. That should fix it.
Hey since you just commented 1 day ago I figure you can help. When I try to run the command prompt it says there is a windows error and the system can’t find the file specified. It also talks ab installing 7-zip what does this mean
@@Y.H.3. You will need to download and install 7-zip then re do the commands
@@enhanceduk4642 the problem is idk what a 7-zip is. I’m trying to get windows on a late 2013 iMac and I’m at the point of giving up because I can’t understand this type of stuff
@@Y.H.3. You can google the zip and download install it. I gave up Purley because this method didn't work for me in the end. The problem is windows 7 will only boot on a mbr partition. So I ended up getting rid of rubbish OSX I now only use Windows which works beautifully. Easiest way to do this is burn windows 7 onto a CD or USB then boot your MacBook into recovery and open disk utility and erase the HDD to master boot record (all data will be gone) then insert your usb or CD and restart the MacBook holding options then select windows and then install
I am surprised that the Mac Bootloader recognizes the Windows installation without having installed it through Boot Camp Assistant. It's awesome that you can replicate everything the Boot Camp Assistant does manually! I hope Win10 2016 LTSB resolves the freezing issues I had with regular Win10 Pro on my Mid-2015 MBP
After all it's just another Intel x86-based PC that boots from any valid EFI partition. Linux distributions or even more exotic things will boot as well as long as they have the right drivers/kernel modules to talk with the hardware.
My Windows setup USB gets stuck and hangs at boot after selecting it from boot+Option/Alt key:
I try to install Windows on an old iMac7,1 (2007). But neither the USB disk created by Microsoft Media Creation Tool (so it’s MBR FAT32, like the case in this video here) nor by Rufus (so GPT EFI) could work, both hang at boot. Looking in Disk Util and Startup Disk, they are effectively not bootable. If MAC needs GPT to boot, then why does Boot Camp indicate to create a MSDOS FAT/MBR USB when installing Windows on Mac? I used to work with Windows but not with Mac, does anyone know what I am missing to make that USB boots on MAC? On Windows the USB MBR needs to be Active, does Mac require that and how to set it? Thanks.
An x86-bases Mac can boot in most cases from both MBR or GPT. Maybe try with another USB drive?
@@jensdbe Thanks Jensd! I try those days unsuccessful with different USB sticks as your suggestion. Unfortunately those authentic Sandisk, Transcend, Verbatim still do not solve. I then found in the system that SIP was activated but can't deactivate it: booting to Recovery partition with Cmd-R, or Cmd+S gives some blank errors message on black screen then self-reboots. So currently I still have not found a way to turn off SIP that should be the cause of denying new installation.
well explained, thank you :)
thx very much for you help
i have imac late 2009 with intel duo core with ati radeon. i need to install windows 10, but i dont know if brigadier will even work. so there will be any issues if i attempt to install?
i dont have windows pc. how i will even able to make dual boot on my usb stick?
I need help! After installing windows 10 everything works fine but when you restart, it does an automatic repair and wont boot! So what i did is reinstall windows again, worked fine but when i restarted it.. same problem. Also when i open up the boot camp from the usb it says its not supported on this device. What do i do?!??
Did you get a fix? Same issue :(
@@manavaildasani2098 nope. Took the ram out and threw the thing away. Dont waste ur time with apple. They suck hard
@@manavaildasani2098 seriously though. Dont waste ur time. Ive tried EVERYTHING and nothing works. Apple does NOT want windows on there systems. So there are always bound to be problems
How to execute orders at brigadier?
actually my question also is this
After erasing the windows partition (earlier created on mac in ms dos format) during the windows installation , it gave me no possibility to click on next and the error says something about MBR structure ; EFI and GPT, any help?
On the disk section screen, you need to navigate the flash drive and add the ssd drivers.
Very helpful
this worked on my imac 27 inch mid 2010
i was shocked because i couldnt even install win 8 or 7 on bootcamp but i could install win 10
Good to hear that this helped you :)
Thanks for this! Just did this today and brigadier was failing because it couldn’t install 7-zip. Had to manually install 7-zip and then it worked. Copying over the files at the moment. Will update whether the windows install is successful or not.
Not sure why this is still failing but I've seen the same before as well. Hope the install went fine.
howd the install go?
Help please! i am having the same problem. please assist me in installing 7-zip.
Thank you very much for this video! I want to do this on my Mac Pro 7,1. Is this possible to install Windows on a PCIe SSD to boot the Mac OS from original internal SSD and Windows from PCIe SSD?
A friend gave me his old late 2008 13'' macbook (pre unibody). I replaced HDD with SSD and it works just fine for web browsing. It is currently running Windows 7 via Bootcamp as I need it for my car diagnostics software. I was wodndering if it is possible to ditch Mac OS completetly and just Windows + Linux ?
Sure, this is not a problem at all. I would first install Windows and get rid of all macOS-related partitions during the install, create a partition for Windows and another for Linux and swap. Then install Windows, followed by Linux. As the Windows boot manager can't boot Linux but GRUB(2), which will be installed by your Linux distro can boot Windows.
Nice video bro
Can I use rufus or balenaetcher to create the bootable usb drive ?
Thanks man
brigadier downloads and create 0.Apple_ISO file, I had to unzip that file to get required files, so I was struggling, no mention of this step in your video for common man !
Anyway your explanation is good and I am able to install windows as dual boot in MacBookPro11,3 ! Thank you. I was unable to install using bootcamp, as I use nvme ssd with converter, when tried to install, I was not able to format or use the 3rd partition created by bootcamp, so failed several times. Using your video, I am able to install windows as dual boot. Thank you very much.
Good to hear this helped. Normally that step is not needed. Brigadier should unpack the downloaded file automatically. Hence why I don't mention it :) Strange
I am having the same problem with my MacBookAir7,2
But as a common man, I don't understand your above solution, how do you create and unzip an 0.Apple_ISO file?
If you would be so kind.
@@thedrakekingyadig6250 hi, hope you resolved by checking the error message in console, anyway in my experience brigadier doesn't download anything into the new directory that creates 'C:\Users\username\Downloads\imac\BootCamp-061-62383' because it tries to call 7zip (and if it is not installed it will try to download but then it can stop the all process and interrupt the donwload). Solution just install 7zip in your main drive and brigadier will complete its script successfully
Hey thank you so much ♡♡♡
Please sir after the installation of the windows my windows was diagnosed when I tried to restart it after that this pop up “”how to fix windows system32 logfiles srt srttrail.txt “” can you please help me please
Thanks for your great video. I am using an iMac from mid-2015 with Big Sur. Everything goes well until the Windows Setup program wants to reboot. Then I get this error message. It's in Dutch but I guess you can read Dutch.
De installatie is geannuleerd.
Wijzigingen die op de computer zijn aangebracht worden niet opgeslagen.
Kan de computer niet voorbereiden voor het opstarten in de volgende fase van de installatie. Start de installatie opnieuw als u Windows wilt installeren.
Thank you!
Could Windows be installed on an external SSD using this method?
I haven't tried that but it should be possible. Depends a bit of Windows itself will allow it rather than being supported on the Mac.
Help I'm stuck on the drive partation part wherin I have to select a partation on where to install windows I followed your instructions but after i clicked format on the partation I made I'm unable to click Next PLEASE HELP
Great tutorial! Thank you. Will this work by using the same method for clean Windows 11 install with a new SSD on a 19,1 iMac?
For Windows 11 you will need to work around the hardware restrictions. I did a separate video on that: ruclips.net/video/N-61qdyppJ8/видео.html
I did everything as you said, but my speakers are still not working. It works only when I'm using MacOS. I use iMac12,1. Is there any further assistance you can provide? Thank you.
You can directly boot to windows but windows will not recognize a lot of
not working on iMac 15.1 ... installation error at 6min timline in this video (the same error like bootcamp)
I'm wanting to do this on an iMac 27" late 2012 that has opencore legacy patch applied to the efi partition to enable running monterey in the macOS partition. When i follow these instructions to put win11 in a new partition created on the macOS ssd will the win11 installer tromp that drive's EFI partition setup or leave it as is?
It might be that you need to boot holding optuon and manually select opencore to boot. Once in OC, you can then boot Monterey and Windows
Works perfectly, could you make a video on how to put android on Iphone 😂😂😂 ???
Muchas gracias saludos desde México
the entire idea of installing windows on my macbook was that i dont own a windows, should've showed how to do it using the iso file on a mac..
thanks for the other tips tho mate.
Made a few videos on how to create a bootable Windows USB for installation from macOS as well:

When i`m trying to boot ( min 5:50 ) i`m pressing usb icon and nothing. it s blockin` . why ?
Wondering just how bad I messed up. I didn't think about bootcamp, I just booted up in to windows 7 and did the upgrade to windows 10, first time I went to restart after an update, poof no windows option comes up when I hold the alt/option key. I'm guessing its because the files you add to windows after the install aren't there, is this correct and can I fix it without a whole new clean installation of win 10? I did the upgrade to specifically not lose my apps and data, is there a work around to fix this or do I have to start from scratch?
I get a blackscreen after i biot into the usb drive. Do you know the problem?
I have same issue, the screen only displays icon window with black theme, and nothing changes
iMac mid-2011 freeze on windows logo after first step and restart without continue windows installation.
btw you can achieve the same effect of brigadier if you go into bootcamp yourself and install the drivers by themselves (go on the top bar)
nice video though
do it fully covers our system or
but it still macbook
Excellent
I dont understand. I have MacBook Pro and I DONT have windows which I am trying to install. How to use Brigadier on my mac??
will this work on a 2011 imac having trouble windows load up screen cirlcle then after awhile it restarts
Hi Jensd can i do this in my iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) model ? will it support ?
Should work fine, yes
I'm trying this on the same Imac as you, but when I select the usb drive to boot I get a black screen. There some errors when downloading with brigadier and it doesn't say "Everything is Ok". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what if processor is not intel based? does your method still work? and does your way work also for macbook ? thanks
Unfortunately it is not possible to run Windows natively on M1/M2 Macs (yet). There is another way though, using UTM. Did a video on that before: ruclips.net/video/KUlqHmiZLyU/видео.html
Mine is imac 14,2 and it stuck on windows logo during installation
I installed a windows installer on my windows 10 like you did on a usb and then when I put it in my Mac and restart it with the option key I get presented with three disks. My Mac, My recovery and the windows installer usb. However when I want to boot into it the screen freezes and the only option I have is to restart my Mac. And I don’t know if it affects or anything but my Mac is patched with a high Sierra patcher. Please if anyone can just drop an answer below it would be a miracle. Thank you!
i can boot into my windows 10 usb with mojave patcher on my macbook
maybe you can try to create a new windows 10 usb
No meu caso ele congela quando escolho o pen drive depois de apertar a tecla option.
Perfect
Thanks. I have a Mac pro 2010. Can I install windows 11 on a separate disk? How?
Hi wonder if you can help my model is iMac 14,2 brigadier says it does not have it in its catalogue Thanks
Thanks for the great vid, I do have a problem. I have a 2011 iMac and after the initial step of installing the files, it reboots and sits with the Windows logo. I have to manually reboot for it to continue the next steps "Getting Ready" and then it continues. Same issue thereafter for the next boot. Any help on this?
I had the same problem. I was using a lite version of win iso. I think it resolves after cleaning the disk, and installing the clean official windows in the drive, exactly as it shown in the video.
I don't understand the command prompt portion. Can you explain some of the codes?
brigadier failed, what else can I try?
I did everything but when setting up windows, the screen went black and nothing else happens. When turning the iMac back on it's still black.
How to get back on mac
Is not working option key tell me the soloution
I have a MacPro 3.1 updated to El Capitan. Unfortunately this method isn't working.
The USB icon is at the boot prompt after rebooting and holding the Option key, but after selecting it, it hangs and does nothing.
The only successful install is Linux Mint. I cannot install Windows 7, 10. or Solaris 11.4 - which is what I really want to install.
I don’t know how to do the codes in command prompt
Awesome
are you able to take out the usb after fully installing? just need to know because I am borrowing a usb
Sure, once installed the USB drive is no longer needed.
for the drivers, can we use Driver Easy or any 3rd party app for driver installation?
The splitting WIM process has been at 80% for almost 3-4 hours, is there anything I can do here or just wait?
Will it work on new Mac PC's or laptops with M1 CPU?
This method will not work for Macs with an M1 CPU/SOC.
I did another video on that, with Windows 11. You can find it here: ruclips.net/video/KUlqHmiZLyU/видео.html
