You’re the goat for this one, Chief! Works like a charm. The latest windows 10 iso is too large for msdot and requires the external hard drive to be exFAT, but boot camp automatically reformats ssd to msdot. With this workaround I can play my favorite games again!
You know I been a strict mac user for over 20 years and this is the first time I have ever been fed up with apple failing their updates for older mac computer in which mine became virused Was left with no choice but to try and factory restore it and even more fed up with paying so much for that laptop and still the apple restore failed on the system Was almost ready to throw the thing out the window and then one very little thing called the windows 10 installer usb saved the day I wiped out my entire useless mac os which cant get updates or any working browsers anyway After I wiped out the entire mac hard drive I installed windows 10 from boot and now it's a useful computer again just runs windows 10 no more buggy mac os and I dont even miss it I now have a great running computer again
Try finding a lightweight "flavor" (version) of linux. Might be a pain to get installed, BUT, Linux will (generally) run faster on these (or any) machines than basically anything else. Ready to throw another computer out the window? Try putting linux on it & playing around. At the absolute least, if you truly are throwing away a computer, you should pull out your hard drive, and beat it to death with a sledgehammer or something, unless you don't care about your data possibly being picked up off of your computer laying on the side of the road. .........or take it to an electronics recycling center where they guarantee data safety or something. Anyway, glad you got your mac working again - although, I think it could've been fixed more easily than you did - and still have mac OS on it. :) Take care!
If anyone is getting a USB issue while installing the support drivers, make sure the flash drive is partitioned as a MS-DOS FAT Volume using Master boot record.
Thanks. I found this out after coming to the conclusion that BootCamp Assistant no longer works for Windows10 ISOs because of the FAT32 4GB file size limitation and the Win10 ISO has exceeded that number. Apple will not upgrade BCA because they have no motivation to do so. Also, the new Macs are incapable of running Windows at all on native hardware due to using the Apple ARM CPU (incompatible with all versions of Windows now and in the future - MS has no plans to go to the ARM processors currently, but may do so in the future - but that's a good 5 years away even if they made that decision).
I still feel Apple made a HUGE mistake in going to their own processor, not because of performance nor anything like that, but because of the inability to dual boot with Windows (recall, this was a HUGE incentive for dual OS people - millions of them - to buy a Mac knowing they could just reboot into Windows - it was a 2 machines for the price of 1). When OSX came out running on an x64 platform, it was one of the smartest moves to get converts (w/dual booting being available). Now, they're shooting themselves in the foot and market share will certainly go down. I'd put money on it!
@@Reclesschill I had to Install windows 7 then upgrade from 7 to 8 then to 10 because the windows 10 iso is too big and FAT only supports up to 4.0gb files. Make sure you download a windows 7 iso that is less than 4.0gb. Once you manage to install windows 7 you're good, only need to upgrade to 10.

Amazing video. I'm currently stuck in the Windows setup process. "setup starting" and I get a popup saying the file C:\Sources\install.wim can't be opened. Error: 0x8007000D. any thoughts?
I have a Mac Pro (Early 2009) and I am using a compatible graphics card. Whenever I open Boot Camp Assistant it says that this Mac does not support Boot Camp. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.
Hey my man don't know you but i am very much thanks full for your help. I've tried other ways and din't work. this was simple & easy. much appreciated.
Anyone else stuck on "Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation" ? have this issue on a late 2013 iMac 27in. I've heard that it's not possible to install Windows 10 on these iMacs without slipstreaming the Windows ISO file with ALL the drivers. The support drivers are outdated, apparently, and only the audio driver is signed for Win10 20H2 - meaning this can't work. I've posted to numerous forums and, so far, no one who owns a late 2013 iMac has been able to use the latest version of Windows 10 only Version 1803 and below will work. I have trouble believing that.
Thanks for the tips, but I am experiencing error code 0x8007000D when trying to boot into windows. Unfortunately I can not seem to find the older version of windows you mentioned in other comments. Any suggestions? I really appreciate the video, it was super helpful I just wish I was not encountering this error.
it says windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. on EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
Ok nevermind this worked. I tried the other Bootcamp Assistant method and it gave me the MBR GPT error. But for some reason unetbootin does a better job of loading the drivers onto the usb. Also windows doesnt seem to like how Bootcamp partitions drives. And Disk Utility made it work fine. Thanks for this. FINALLY got mine to work!
Well I create a windows 7 bootable usb with the same software , it can create it successfully but when I restart my MacBook , hold the alt key until the boot menu shows up , it doesn’t show the bootable usb (I have a 2008 Aluminum Macbook 13.3 with Nvidia 9400M GPU and 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo CPU with 4GB DDR3)
Why dont I just use the DVD Drive that it has inside , and I have a win7 Pro Installation disk ? My DVD Drive is broken , I think when I try to put a disc in it , the sensor that see’s something going in and then the dvd drive pulls the disk in it , doesn’t work. the dvd Drive won’t take the dvd.

All goes OK boot from stick click install, then it does not give me the option to say where to install, then i get error code 0x8007000D relation to :C drive Any ideas?
I must be missing something. Where is the USB installer you are referring to? I'm doing same thing as LuftwaffelZ. The EFI Boot is the USB that was formatted with unetbootin.

Had the same issue with Install.wim (Error: 0x8007000D). Fixed it by creating 2 usb drives. 1 in fat32 with Win10 and 1 in exfat with same Win10. Start with the fat32 usb to be able to choose from bootmenu, when the Install.wim error pops-up, just switch to exfat USB, retry and proceed. This worked for me

Hi, I have a MacPro 4,1 (Early 2009) with Yosemite 10.10.5 but bootcamp doesn't work on it. It says "This Mac doesn't support bootcamp". How can i install Windows 10 on my mac?
Hello, please I erased everything on my mac, so right now its empty and I can't do anything. I want to install windows on it only. Can I install windows 10 on it as it is or I have to get mac os first. Please tell me how to do it. Thanks
Hi vtudio, I keep having a problem where when i try to choose my partition to install windows to, it tells me “We couldn’t create a new partition or locate an existing one.” I’ve re partitioned the drive 3 times and it still doesn’t work. Any ideas?
I encountered an error after pressing format during the windows 10 installation. It says: Windows cannot be installed to the disk. “The selected disk is of the GPT partition style”. What should I do?
I know this is late but I found a fix. You need to download a software called Tuxera NTFS. This allows you to format the partition in a way that is compatible for Windows.
I got an error code that says Windows cannot open the required file D:\Sources\Install.wim. Make sure all files required for installation are available and restart the installation. Error Code: 0x800700D Is there a way to fix this?

Hey mate, just googled that error code for you and it says that your Windows installation has a damaged or missing file. What I would do if I was in your shoes, is re-download the April 2018 Windows 10 ISO and re-install it fresh.
I got the same thing. After a bit of googling it seems that error points to a problem in the install.wim file which has a size of 4.4 gb. Apparently that’s too big to run off a drive formatted to FAT, but not a problem for ExFAT. The problem is ExFAT drives aren’t bootable 😑 Still looking into a solution....
I was able to successfully install windows onto my Mac using a drive created with windows update assistant running on an instance of windows on parallels....which is on my Mac. 😂 I will throw this out there - while I was able to successfully install windows, when I had to reboot the computer I get an error and it won’t boot in again. Not sure what to do there and haven’t had time to work on it since. Maybe you can help with that
Hello Nice video thx a lot. I am trying to install windows without burning a windows 7 on an iMac Mid 2010 because I have a ssd and a hdd with fusion drive. What about the installation with fusion drive ? I can start Windows 10 installation on usb the when trying to partition it says can't make a new partition or locate partition. Do you think fusion drive can be the issue here ?
I was gonna use this hard drive that I took out of my mom's computer for installing macos x onto. I put the hard drive in the MacBook and then I noticed it said EFI boot. I went on to it and it booted windows normally just like it was from the original computer. Im now trying figure out how to install the frivers for this because I didnt use bootcamp.
Using a Mac Pro 3,1 (early 2008) and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6. Installation to the Bootstick with Bootcamp (original and modified Info.plist) doesn't work. With Unetbootin I could create a bootstick (stucks at 415, but wait around 10 minutes and it keeps going), but after rebooting and selecting the Efi-Boostick it freezes all the time. Is there any other option? Looking foward.... seems like this odyssee never ends :(
Hi Vtudio, I’ve bought a Mac Pro 3.1 totally refurbished (intel xeon quad core x2, 32 gb RAM, GeForce GT120 & GeForce GTX1060 6gb OC, 120 GB SSD & 500 GB HDD....) i’d like to know if this method or the another one where you installed W10 on an unsupported Mac with a USB could work ? Because I’ve spent a lot of money for repairing my computer this summer, so if I can save like 80€ for buying an official W10 dvd installation by buying an activation key from windows, it will help me a lot
Hey mate, you can actually install Windows without an activation key, just download the ISO online and when it asks you for it, just select I don't have a product key - that'll put Windows in trial mode. Once it's fully installed and if everything works ok, you can then buy an activation key to unlock all the features, but if it doesn't work at least you don't lose out.
Hi guys. So to make it works, I had to download and burned a dvd with W7 on it. I made a bootcamp. I’vehad some issues when I was at the « hard disk location » step because I have 2 internal hardrive so then i have removed my ssd and i was able to select the good internal hard disk. Once W7 was installed, I’ve bought a W10 activation key and it works. Now I got my GTX 1060 6G OC fully functional and I’m running GTA V I’m ultra, Forza Horizon 4 in high, Nier Automata in ultra for example (ahah didn’t played other games for now). But you should know that I got 2 graphic cards inside my computer. Cuz when when I’m booting OSX, sometimes I got black screen, so my second graphics cards (connected to another screen and compatible with this model) helps me in those cases to « launch » the computer. (If you need more details write me on this mail : « valentin.huby@gmail.com)
Vtudio hey mate, i wasn’t able to use iso files because i was,’t able to select a file into bootcamp (probably because I’ve downloaded a version of Sierra that wasn’t official (or I used an other app to make it possible to use this OS version on my 2008 Mac Pro, I don’t remember, anyway). I think that if I couldn’t use the feature into bootcamp was maybe because of my version of Sierra. I invite you to read how I did in my answer below if one of your subscribers has the same issue.
This method works instead of using bootcamp Thanks bro But always crash when updating the Nvidia driver the screen resolution scale to the normal and boom goes blank then restart with a error screen try fixing it self and I tried restoring but no luck So far have tried couple of times all the way from erasing the partition from Mac os over and over again
This is the reason why I shifted back to Windows 7 because every time I tried to install Windows 10 and install Nvidia drivers either windows update to Nvidia website it always crashes until the OS is not repairable in start up utility.
Is it possible to do this and delete all partitions in Windows setup, and make 1 NTFS partition so the Mac only runs windows? I have an old Mac mini which will only go as high as MacOS 10.7 Lion which for the most part is now unsupported
I just installed windows 10 on my macbook pro 2015. The only issue I am having is I cannot connect to the internet.... I have attempted to download the driver manually for windows network but it will not install. Any suggestions?
So, im installing this on my mid-2011 mac and it was working until it got this error that said "your pc ran into an error and needs to restart" and i restart my pc but it continues to go like that.
Well the Mac Pro I want to install Windows to just ends up freezing every time I select the USB drive in the boot menu. It doesnt matter if I flash the USB through the Windows media creation tool or the software mentioned in the video.
I have searched high and low over the whole internet and did not find an answer to my question. Can you pull your laptop's HDD with windows already on it and boot that on a mac without re-installing anything? Does the mac need to install anything on there to make it bootable as is?
i have a mac pro 5.1 and i have a RX5500XT4gb will i be able to put windows with it? I can't update to HSierra I can't update the BIOS ... tenho um mac pro 5.1 e tenho uma RX5500XT4gb será que posso colocar windows com ela? não consigo atualizar para HSierra não consigo atualizar a BIOS ...
Hello vtudio I finally get it to work by cancelling bootcamp installation when it reach the Nvidia driver update and manually install it But there is no vram didn't even recognize the graphics card It only show the total available and system shared memory which is 4059 Everything else is either or 0 MB
windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk setup does not support configuration of or installation to this disk connected through a usb or IEEE 1394 port
So I followed every step and I was able to boot up using windows 10 but when I tried to install it wouldn’t recognize my partition as a place it could download? Any advice. Please respond ASAP thank you!
Hi vtudio... Maybe you could help me. I did the same things like you but the USB stick isn't showing up in the boot manager..ah and the Mac HDD is showing up...
This is great and all but I did everything on my Macbook Pro mid 2009 and even though i can see the bootable usb the moment i select it, it freezes for a few seconds then restarts to Mac OS Catalina. why? how do i fix it
Hey brother, first of all awesome video thank you for the help!, I'm having a couple of problems that's preventing me from starting the process. You said you had a SATAII drive when you were installing windows but you were installing it in your PCIe SSD. I saw when you made the partition that your drive (either the ssd or sataii hdd) was internal. I have a Early 2009 Mac Pro flashed into a 5,1 in it I have a PCIe m.2 SSD Samsung SM951 and a Sonnet with a Samsung 860 PRO and a Samsung EVO but ALL 3 OF THOSE DRIVES COME UP AS EXTERNAL! This is making it impossible to run a legit bootcamp assistant as they are all EXTERNAL. So, Im not sure how to proceed I have read a couple of way around this but I'm not sure as to how they work. Someone installed WINDOWS 10 using bootcamp somehow on a SATAii drive they had on the first SATA SLOT then used WINCLONE to clone it and expanded it on their SM951 that had a FAT32 Partition. But again I DONT KNOW HOW THEY INSTALLED WIN10 using bootcamp. PLEASE HELP OR PLEASE POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION! I have this Mac Pro with High Sierra 10.13.6 please help good sir.
Do i need to partition the drive to use boot camp, I presume using a separate SSD is fine? your booting of a PCIe SSD only possible under mojave correct? am I right if you dosdude to get catalina it breaks bootcamp?
Hi, I tired this on a 2011 Imac and used a 8.1 iso. Just 1 thing For some reason I cant get Audio from the internal speakers and cant use the internal mic. Any help?
iMac 2011 is a problem with Windows if you install from EFI boot. You need to install from legacy bios. To do this simply install from a DVD-R rather than a USB flash drive.
I got a message "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For information, see the setup log files." My mac has two internal disks: SSD and HDD. Does it interfered the process? What can I do? Thank you!
