- THE WAY I SHOW IN THE VIDEO IS FOR BOOTCAMP 6.0.0.!!!!!
**For instructions on BootCamp 6.1.0, follow the guided steps below in step 2**
Hey guys! This is a tutorial on how to dual-boot Windows 10 on an Apple Computer that is not supported to run Windows 10. Apple only allows computers from 2012 and newer to dual-boot on a Windows 10 OS, and those that are older are only allowed to run Windows 7. But everyone wants the newest and the best, so why do those of us with older Macs have to suffer? Not anymore! By modifying bootcamp, we can now install Windows 10, 8, or 7!
In this video, I will show you have to do just that and more! I will be using a 2009 Macbook Pro with an Intel Core 2 Duo to dual-boot Windows 10. Just follow my step-by-step instructions. All Links are down below and feel free to comment with any problem or concern. I just ask that you be polite and kind, and I will be sure to try and get back to you as soon as I possibly can. Thanks!
**Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage done to your computer or hardware. This is something that you chose to do AT YOUR OWN RISK! So pay close attention to the details in the video and the description and you should be fine. Video for education purposes only.**
Step 1: Downloading Windows 10 and Bootcamp Support Software - 0:41
So the first thing that needs to be done is to download Windows 10 from the link below. Then go ahead and download the Bootcamp support software.
Links:
* www.microsoft....
* support.apple....
Step 2: Modify Bootcamp - 1:25
While the software is downloading, we can modify Bootcamp to allow our computer to create an install disk on our 8gb flash drive. Copy the app onto the desktop and then open the Info.plist in TextEdit. From there:
BOOTCAMP VERSION 6.0.0
Add your Boot ROM Version to DARequiredROMVersion
Then find PreUEFIModels and Delete the word "Pre" then add your Model Identifier number with the surrounding symbols
Find PreUSBBootSupportedModels and Delete the word "Pre" then add your Model Identifier
Once thats done find Win7OnlyModels and Remove your model number
BOOTCAMP VERSION 6.1.0
Then find PreUEFIModels and Delete the word "Pre" then add your Model Identifier number with the surrounding symbols
Find PreUSBBootSupportedModels and Delete the word "Pre" then add your Model Identifier
Once thats done find Windows10OnlyModels and add your model number to it.
Now Bootcamp can create a Windows 10 flash drive. Let the download finish before the next step.
Then save the document
Step 3: Backup Hard Drive and Create Windows 10 Install Flash Drive - 4:56
Now we make the bootable usb flash drive for Windows 10. Only select the first option in Bootcamp. We will get to those other two later. Once the install disk is created, put the Bootcamp Support file on your bootable usb flash drive. Next, copy your personal files to the other, larger usb stick. This to make sure that no files are lost during the process, just in case something goes wrong. You may delete those files after the whole process through step 8 are completed.
Step 4: Install Windows 10 - 6:38
Now we can create the partition and install windows 7 onto that. MAKE SURE you have enough space on the Windows side, because you cannot change it afterwards! You should chose to skip the product Key at this point as it is easier to upgrade and verify a product key later inside Windows 10. Write down the product key before you install Windows 10
Step 5: Bootcamp Setup - 7:51
Download the Apple support file onto the Windows side and run it in compatibly mode. All the drivers should install automatically. Now you can choose the start-up OS. The brightness, volume, and backlight keys should work now.
Step 6: Windows 10 Product Key - 10:00
Go into start-up and go to settings. Click the ‘Activation’ ribbon to insert your own product key. The non activated Windows 10 is legally free but you will have limited options. To get the full version of windows 10, you will have to use your own product key.
Step 7: Coprocessor Driver - 10:26
The coprocessor will not have a driver. Therefore, you must install one yourself. Go to the Device Manager and right click the coprocessor with the error sign on it. Select ‘Update Driver’ and aim the troubleshooter at the apple support file. To do that, select the file with your Apple support file.

You all should thank him because this is for those people who have mac or Macbook pro older than 2012
Wow, I never knew.
no shit??
Really?
i am not able to edit that text file, as it says you don't own this file...help needed
@@atulyadav6843 Are you using the "admin" login or role? If not, that may be why the issue.
GUYS! If Windows Installation is giving you the error that says that it cannot install on the bootcamp disk, DON'T PANIC! Just format it to NTFS in the installation and then the bootcamp installation will show up right after you finish installation. This video is a blessing because after a month of trying to installing and wrecking my MacBook Pro, IT WORKED!!! Thank you so much!!!
How do you format it yo NTFS?
FANTASTIC TIP !! it work perfectly on My MACBOOK 2009 5.3 running EL CAPITAIN OS. Only a few extra tips: 1) the copy take longer time than the video show. Wait ! 2) when Win starts install select BOOTCAMP partition then select FORMAT, otherwise it wont install 3) the installation takes up to 20GB disk, than remember this when partitioning your SSD. 4) take several hours to this job, you must wait a lot !!!! BUT IT WORKS just PERFECT !! congratulations , it is simple and it works !!
thank you so much for the second tip! I was stuck in that point, now I finally got windows installed!!
For anyone still struggling to make it work (getting a "Windows 8 non supported...." after clicking Continue) after all the mods in step 2 for Bootcamp 6.1.0, simply change 7 to 8 in the string Win7OnlyModels and add below your Model Id as for the other steps.
Hope it helps!
You just make my day better👍👍👍Have been find the solution for 4 month
Wow thank you so much
literally the best video on how to do this online, thanks so much. keep going man.
After many many many try (freezing), I can say that it's working on MBP late 2008 with bootcamp 6.1.0 ! Thank's bro
Did you get any errors about not enough space when trying to make the bootable usb drive? If yes, How did you deal with it?
Howw tf
I don’t have any sound
This is the best explanation of this solutions I ever see in youtube, you need make some new about newer versions os boot camp.
If you've got the "not enough space on USB" problem, that's because a single file in the win install is larger than 4g, which conflicts with the mac fat settings. If you have access to a pc, just format the USB drive and load the win 10 iso in there from PC. Then it works. (For some reason, bootcamp will not restart and install automatically though. You just have to restart and press alt, then choose the USB drive instead of the mac partition. At least that's how it worked for me ; )
ciao! sei italiano? puoi spiegarmi meglio i passaggi? Grazie!!
More details please :(
So I just need to copy the iso to the drive and no other file?
Just Download Boot Camp ISO converter
@@user-st3cn3tw8k What I did was making the USB thru a PC, then take files in a folder in your Mac, format your USB (2.0) to MS-DOS, after that copy the files from your Mac to the USB again.
Download the bootcamp drivers in the USB, and continue with the installation.
At least that worked for me, hope does it for you
@@peronnelionel5574 Your a life saver omg ty for saying that application existed
It worked. Thanks a lot dude!
I was able to install Win10_64bit_1909 on my MacBook Pro Late 2008 (MacBook Pro 5,1).
Note for Boot Camp info.plist: Although my Mac (MacBook Pro 5,1) was not found in the "Win7OnlyModels" list, I had to remove also the model MacBook Pro 5,5 from list ( I don't know the reason, maybe "close family") , in order to be able to create the Win10 USB installation medium. Otherwise Boot Camp Assistant will allow to create only the Win 7 installation medium.
For those facing problems at Boot Camp drivers installation, you need to use the proper Boot Camp version for your Mac. The version Boot Camp 4.0.4255 from this clip/guide will not work for all macs.
In my case I had to install Boot Camp 4.0.4033 with compatibility settings of course.
Can u tell me how to find the right bootcamp version for my mac?
1) How large have you set your Windows partition ? 2) What MacOS version are you using?
@@mateiacd 1) Windows 10 partition around 100GB.
2) Mac OS X El Capitan version.
@@mihaidinu6916 Thank you! I am using MacOS Catalina 10.15.7 and a SSD disk formatted APFS, GPT disk. I have a formatting error when booting with the USB stick (I wrote about it in another comment here)
@@mateiacd If I understood correctly you have a newer Mac than 2011.
If that is correct, this guide does not apply completeley to you.
You just simply runt BootCamp assistant from Catalina, make sure you have enough free space, create Windows partition and continue following the steps to install Windows.
For more details you can search for Install Windows on Mac - Boot Camp Tutorial - macOS 10.15 Catalina.
Good luck!
Superb...i was pulling my hair out wondering why create usb was missing from the Boot Camp installer. Well done 👍🏻
HI guys, I've tried all of this and it works, but when I plug my USB(32gb) it says that I don't have enough space. Someone could fix this?
prob on your HDD or SSD
@@KrakerMraker WTF IS HDD AND SSD
@@PandoBrah hdd is something that runs on a disk and ssd is flash storage
I don't know if you solved your problem but its because the install.wim file is larger than 4 gb, the most that fat32 supports. This guide may be helpful: alexlubbock.com/bootable-windows-usb-on-mac
@@RedMarbles_ nice but discouragingly hard process... Why they make ot so difficult...
Also check if your Model is placed in the section SupporedNonWin10Models and delete it from there !! In my case my model (MacBookPro8,2) was listed there in BootCamp Version 6.1.0
Why am I always the one experiencing problems with my computer/laptop....
AkiraxToru same
It laggz 😔
Try Bootcamp VBoot Camp 4.0.4033 is work for you maybe
don't worry you are not alone
SAME ITS BEEN 2 MONTHS NONE OF THESE SH1T WORKS
All I can say...WELL DONE BUDDY, WELL DONE ! Thanks a million !
did this work for you without issue?
Thanks a lot! Very well explained tutorial. But I think you forgot to mention one thing that after the partitioning on Bootcamp, and when the Mac is restarting, alt (option) key should be pressed to choose EFI Boot to get installation begin. Otherwise Windows installation doesn’t start automatically. This is what happened in my case at least.
I did get to start the installation, but the part where I had to format it, it said that it could not be formatted on the EFI. Could you help?
@@juhruhree Is that the GPT error?
I am running Yosemite... Late 2011 any help here ?
@@juhruhree
For me it works: You must restart in MacOS go to disk utility and format the Bootcamp partition in nfts format. Then restart + alt and install from Efi boot usb
Thank you I thought I killed everything
You saved my MacBook Pro Mid 2009 17". Thank you very much!!
El Capitan; in June 2023, it is hopeless and there is no supported browser for OS X 10.11 today. If you want your old Mac to be fully functional, here is the only solution.
I faced several issues when I tried following this video. Here are my notes. Hope it can help someone.
1) Boot Camp Installer couldn't run on Windows 10.
When I tried to install the Boot Camp installer, it went straight to "Boot Camp installer completed" before I got "Welcome to the Boot Camp installer" which means Windows didn't install Boot Camp anyway. So I got back to OS X and downloaded "the latest Windows support software from Apple" on Boot Camp Assistant. Then it worked.
2) After finishing installing the Boot Camp installer, Windows 10 frequently froze.
NVRAM reset worked. Now it works perfectly.
I have a 6.1 bootcamp. Macbookpro8,1
I changed a few things different from guide.
'prewindows10onlymodels' I deleted the "pre" and added my model here.
Then it told me I couldn't use win10, so I went and found all mentions of my model (4 total) and deleted it from 'supporedNonWin10Models' (I copied that, if it's meant to be supported... Apple typoed not me) so there are only 3 mentions of my 8,1 model... All the ones I added.
And then it started making the install usb with the win10.
You are an absolute hero, sir. I was going absolutely crazy because it wouldn't work. Thank you.
Did you get any errors about not having enough space when trying to make the bootable USB drive? If yes, How did you deal with it?
hey plz tell me what should I do it is showing windows 7 only but not any option of window 7 or later
how can I fix this let me know
Hello I just want to say Your guide was the best, I was looking for guides but everything was as my situation, even I have the same MacBook5,5. So good, learned so many thinks, Just a way to say thank You!!!!
Major props to you buddy. Got it working on a Mac mini 3, 1. Awesome work man!
Thanks bro you really made this easy. Wish I had saw your video first. I watched a different video on how to do this and it was hella confusing. Keep up the good work!
its taking forever on the copying windows files into usb
help
Its normal
Wait a while
Man, you saved me! Thank you so much !!! The only way that works ! You are the best !
My Mac created the media and partition but when it restarted it says 'no Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key'. How should I proceed?

hope it can work for you
Thank you so much man, this is very helpful for my 2009 macbook pro. Works perfectly👌🏻
When my computer gets past the copying file screen, it says no more disk space when it’s erased and fully available and it’s a 16GB USB
Same here and I don’t know how to fix this
Dowload the 1809 sep 2018 version...Google for it.
Your drive is formatted as fat32 then it won’t fit cause it has a 4gb limit. Try ExFat in disc utility
My Friend thank you for your Vid and expertise I have a 2010 it 17 inch model and I just needed to get the bootcamp update you have on your video and this helped me get the sound and the functionality over to the win 10 side!!!!!!! Thank you so much God bless you!!!!
it says that i dont have enough space but i have a 16 gb usb? helpp meeee
Install an older version of Windows.
Installing Windows 7, then 10 works.
@@doge7831 i have the same problem. It says that there is no space. How to install 7 and then 10?
I hv a mid 2010 imac.. tried it so many times but got stuck when creating the usb i gave up and decide to create bootable usb from a windows pc and install windows 10 on the imac by reformating the whole imac.. now my imac only runs on windows 10 with no Apple os and im happy with it
i have a problem that is not mentioned i think.When i try to create wininstall starts copying files then stops and says there is not enough space on disk although it is a 32 gb usb.Any ideas?
Edit:I found out others have the same problem but nobody has a solution.
Best bet is to use a an install disc instead of usb
Yo will have to use an older copy of windows from like 2018. It worked afterwards
@@jexie9725 can you help in doing That?
Format the drive as NTFS. That should fix it.

Same
Did u get the solution?
It tells me Windows can’t be installed on my partition drive because selected drive has an MBR partition table. Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
I’m installing windows 8
Delete partition and select next.
You are awesome. Thank you. Great soundtrack by the way.
As soon I change any thing in the file Info.plist, the Boot Camp Assistant stop working??????????????
Worked like charm on my 2009 MacBook Pro. Thank you

I also use MacBookPro early 2009, and tried to clean install Windows10 directly to partition disk. It looks working perfectly but the problem is what it takes about 5 minutes to load up sign-in screen.
I’m not sure if everyone is also waiting this long.

No is takes 20 to 30 secs to load but is u had installed all the drivers their boot camp you should have no problems 😉
Vielen Dank! Großartige Anleitung! Hast mir wirklich sehr geholfen!
Hi. I'm running a 21.5-inch, Mid-2011 iMac. When my Mac was installing Windows 10, this came up:
“No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key".
I did a bit of research, and found the "Hold option strategy", I'm sure you know what I mean by that. After that, I selected my USB with Windows named "EFI Boot". After that, the Windows Starter opened up, with a blue screen in the background. I selected my language, and time and currency format, and clicked next. After that, I was left with "Install now". After a while, a window popped up, saying "Activate Windows". I typed in the product key that you left in the description. I went through the installation progress till I got to 2 boxes. The first one said this:
"Upgrade: Install Windows and keep files, settings, and applications"
The second one said this:
"Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)"
When I clicked Upgrade, a window came up named Compatibility Report, with a text box underneath it that said:
"The upgrade option isn't available if you start your computer using Windows installation media. If a copy of Windows is already installed on this computer and you want to upgrade, remove the installation media and restart your computer. After Windows has started normally, insert the installation media and run Windows Setup."
This window gives me no option but to restart the setup process.
If I was to click Custom, a window would come up named "Where do you want to install Windows?". Underneath is a box that shows all of my drives.
Drive 0 Partition 1
Drive 0 Partition 2
Drive 0 Partition 3
Drive 0 Partition 4
On each of these drives, an annotation comes up saying "Windows can't be installed on Drive 0 Partation 1", "Drive 0 Partation 2", "3" and "4". If I click on the annotation, 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.". From there, I have no option but to restart the setup process, once again.
I have tried another way however, but this one does not work. Back on the "Activate Windows" window, there is an annotation that says "I don't have a product key". If I click it, a window pops up saying "Select the operating system you want to install" which in this case, I chose "Windows 10 Pro". If I click next, I accept the Terms and Conditions and the "Which type of installation do you want?" window pops up, again. If I click either of them, the same thing happens. I truly have hit a brick wall here. Do any of you guys know how to fix this?
lezneD OMFG, I have the exact same iMac and it’s so irritating I’m just tryna play fortnite :(
I have the fucking same issue... What's the solution????? i even formatted the partition and is a no go!
Subscribed and Liked. This video was really well put together
I have done everything you said but after the installation imac rebooted and its stuck at “No bootable device - insert boot disk and press any key”
If i press any key it doesn’t work. I can’t even boot it up in macos... please help bro :(
It's a corrupted installer, your Mac is fine, just restart and grab a Windows PC. I'm downloading the .ISO for Windows 10 off the web, and I'm using a tool called Rufus to make the installer. Make sure you use a 64-bit .ISO, and not a 32-bit one.
just hold the option (alt) key when you boot
@@skiroll591 yeah.. it didn’t worked with ducky one 2 mini but it did with original apple keyboard.. ty anyway
This helped me out a lot, thank you so much! 💋
My computer doesn't have the DARequiredROMVersions or the other lines I needes to fix, what should I do?
(My Mac is a is a late 2009 21.5inch iMac btw)
Same here and mine is a 2011 MBP 8,1, Boot version MBP81.004D.B00. Somethings obviously changed since tube was first compiled.
Like Dillon said above, you have to download Bootcamp 6.0.
Bootcamp 6.1 won't work correctly. I'm installing Windows 10 right now! : )
Where do I download it
Typo in my out of the box info.plist file caused issues. This was what it had: SupporedNonWin10Models (note there is no 't' in 'Supported'). This is the same on 2 machines I have checked so far with different MacOS version! Once I put that in it showed 'Windows 7 or later'. Macmini5,2 is my model ID, Boot Camp 6.1
Thanks for the guide, man - very useful.
Wild, added the ‘t’ and it fired right up with windows 10!! 😂😂
Me too. I saw the type and fixed it now its saying its supported. nuts.@@tapo4727
I am trying to install Windows 8.1 on my MacBook Pro early 2011. I did everything in the video (great video by the way), and when I get to the install windows screen upon boot from EFI (USB), when I get to the point where it says where to you want to install Windows, I get an error "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." Tried the diskpart and list disk in the command prompt (when hitting shift F10 from install screen), and that doesn't work for me. Don't know what else to do....
If you see bootcamp drive, Format bootcamp drive and install on that,
The problem is discussed in other forums. I don't know if I am allowed to post direct links to articles. Please search two articles: ""Windows detects GPT disk as MBR in EFI boot" and "I found and installed a OS X command line utility 'gdisk' which changed the hybrid MBR data to allow Windows to install properly"
thank you! really great tutorial! keep it up!
After all of the text editing my mac doesn't give me the 3 boxes and states to only use windows 7 software.
you can see the other video that says how to do it trowh windows 7
If the 'Create a Windows 7 or later' setting STILL doesn't work after the steps listed in this video, remove your model listed under 'SupporedNonWin10Models' array.
Doing this made it work for me on my MBP Late 2011 model running High Sierra.
Unsure why Apple didn't spell 'supported' correct or because they ran out of characters on the tag.
Im just about to to this on my Macbook pro late 11 I have 3 partitions on the disk ... OS X Yosemite OS X HSierra and the other is FAT formatted.. any suggestions first time trying to run windows in Mac
Ive spent part of 5 hours trying to get this working today. You can install Windows 7 fine using the previous video but you have to create a bootable DVD as the machine just won't recognise a bootable USB despite what the videos shows. And you can't make a bootable Win10 DVD as the ISOs are too big.
This video shows how to make bootable DVD, but says it has to be made on the native drive of the computer you are going to install Windows 10 on. I have a 2011 iMac 27in with a built in drive. I followed instructions from this video and created a Windows 10 ISO DVD. ua-cam.com/video/KJThhtD6ycs/v-deo.html
when i tried to do this, it said,"Your bootable USB drive could not be created. Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 installation." then when i looked into it it said that i had to pay for windows... Please Help..

After it shows the error, open the drive (in the desktop) and open the windows iso file (if it shows the recource is busy then go to disk utility and then mount the CCOMA thingy if aldready mounted the unmount and remount it) then see the differences between the drive and is file if some things are not copied then just drag that thing out of the is file and drag it in the USB drive. It worked for me in mac pro 2010 and it will work, if not then reply
i got an error message while creating install disk. it said not enough space, couldnt create install disk. but i have a 16gb usb. and it looks like it was created because the usb is name wininstall. if i got that message would there be files missing from it. and i proceded with creating a partition with no error message about an incomplete install package. my mac is still partioning while im writing this btw.
I have a 2007 MacBook Pro, 3.1. Having trouble with the windows installer download. Please help!!!! Thanks!
Did you make it? Same laptop but freeze at efi boot
Got it to work on my 2010 MacBook with El Capitan (BootCamp 6.0). If anyone gets stuck "copying windows files" in bootcamp, just let it work for about an hour. Took forever on mine. I'm pretty sure it will work on Sierra as well, you just have to download BootCamp 6.0
Spence the first 3 quarters were fast (5mins), but now I’m stuck at 75%. I use bootcamp 6.0 same as y’all. I haven’t waited for an hour, but I’m worried because why was it fast and now stuck at 76%?
Did you wait it out? Mine was the same way, with the first 75% taking 5 min and the rest taking an hour.
Hey there RC Films, thanks so much for the very helpful video. I'm getting stuck at the point where I run boot camp and everytime I get an error message saying that the USB drive I have used to boot onto doesn't have enough space on it to continue. The USB is 120g and completely empty. I went to the google IT expert and tried to listen to what they had to say, but it still hasn't helped. Maybe you or someone else on here might be able to give me a pointer to get past this point.
im having the same problem!
your usb is in the wrong format
Big_Mazza what format should it be in? I’ve tried a few different ways already, but not all the options.
I clicked the format drive line under error message and it fixed it without asking me how to format. Format type was automatically done.
LordFerpez I’m not getting anything under the error message, just the alert saying there’s not enough space on the drive.
thank you, it's work on my MBP 7,1 mid 2010
Hey can u make an updated video with bootcamp 6.1.0 please
just take away the word pre from PreUEFIModels and PreUSBBootSupportedModels on the txt edit part should work
@@erickdeleon7466 Or I just changed the model number from MACBOOK PRO 10 to be MACBOOK PRO 8,1 knowing that I was a macbook pro 8,2
I also changed the WINDOWS 10 ONLY model number I think. Installing windows 10 now
Just remove the pre and pre part as per instructions but under prewin10 only delete your machine name and should be fine after that.
@@lurcho101 should I leave every box checked on bootcamp? ps: I've already downloaded the windows ISO
@@mondhirko follow the steps in the video only difference is with the updated Windows download you need to edit your macbook name out
If your bootcamp assistant doesn't say Windows 7 *or later*, try deleting MacBookPro5,5 like in 4:28. I was having an issue where I did everything the video said and I was only able to create a win7 usb. I randomly removed MacBookPro5,5 and it worked. I can now create a Windows 10 usb.
Now I'm still with the No bootable device error
I'm running macOS Sierra on my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 (Core2Duo & NVIDIA 320M) and when I tried to edit the config.plist the "DARequiredRomVersions" was not there, so I skipped that step as RC Films mentioned above and it worked, the Bootcamp Assistant now gives me the option :D
Update: It didn't, it throws me a message saying that Windows 8 is not able to be installed on my Macbook
what version of bootcamp do you have?
RC Films I have boot camp 6.0 how do you downgrade?
I’m in the same boat. I haven’t moved passed the plist step. I’m running boot camp 6.1.0.
Andre Villanueva try step 2 in the description
Thanks. This was helpful.
It says that the disk could not be created because there wasn't enough space on the drive even though i used a 32 gb usb
It probably was talking about your hard drive, not your USB, you need at least 64 gb of free spece to do the partition.
I have the same issue, this error comes when creating the bootable usb installation and I am using a 32GB memory stick too.
@@chr1so ialso have the same issue and i used a harddrive with 150gb usb stick all the same message hope someone can help
you need to use Win10_1803 version of OS to clear that issue.
@@amwo24 I used 1809 and also worked.
I have a MacOS High sierra and it says that Windows is not compatible with my mac every time I try to click continue
Says my USB hasn’t enough storage ?
Same here, someone help us!
Alexandre Dutra I don’t think your usb has enough storage
@@georgecooper1753 it does my usb is 16 gb and when I check the disk utility it says i still have over 10 gb free of space on it. I dont know why apple makes this stuff so complicated.
For the ppl, having the no boot disk error and the Can't be installed on the 1,2,3,4,x error. Just do the following, once you have the USB Boot with Windows 10 go to Boot Camp and delete the installation. Then Open Disk utility and Make another partition (any size you need). Then make it ExFat. Restart your Mac and hit ALT once you hear the sound (Alternate Boot) Choose your USB Boot Device and boot from there. Go until you see the install on X drive and it will still say the error. Next FORMAT the desired drive and voilá. You can install now. It worked for me on my Early 2011 Macbook Pro.
If you already have a win 10 USB, you can just start installing it without creating a Win 10 USB, you just need to remove "Pre" from USB in the bootcamp files.
Am I supposed to use may 2019 windows or another version
Really helpfull. Thanks for sharing. Great work
Everything worked until I went to install the boot camp drivers. It says that it required the machine to be on windows 7 for it to work. Can someone help me?
Read my comment on this vid , lmk if it works
TheFallen 0830 hey, how is it? I can't find it
**Step 5: Bootcamp Setup
If compatible Run couldnt work. First install instedit software and do these steps.(www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/2zsaz7/can_i_install_windows_10_via_boot_camp_or_not/) after you deleted rows it should be work but if it didnt and you take error 2229 . Go to ''region and language'' settings and change your language option and pick English(united state). Restart and try again. It worked :D
Now after a lot of try´s it worked thank you!
Thanks a lot man that was really helpful guide! Can i install windows 10 on a partition that's on another Disk? i have my mac installed in a SSD drive and my personal files are all on a second HDD drive So i want to install Windows 10 on my HDD drive Please guide me :)

i have problem that my partition is mbr not gpt
After clicking “Finish” in the setup app nothing else pops up.... could you help me ?
Same
As per a comment below, I have a Imac 9,1 had to delete the imac 10 from last editing step, in order for: "later version install disk" to show up in edited boot camp.
On my 2011 MBP 15" with BootCamp 6.1.0 it says PreWindows10SupportedModels. Instead I deleted the Non out of Windows10NonSupportedModels added my identifier. Worked.
thank a lot for the original video producer and to this addition that saved my day! :)
thanks it worked
thanks bro
I am running Yosemite... Late 2011 any help here ?
Blue King Update the OS before you start. Any reason why you haven’t??
When I start to install the bootcamp setup on windows it turns into a black screen after and never returns, the computer stay with black screen
same...did you find a solution??
Windows 10 can be installed on a 2008 imac with flashdrive or windows 10 DVD ROM easy. I have a video of a 2006 imac with 10 on my channel
Thank you it worked but i just had to format the bootable Usb stick
Hey I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem.
Please explain what did you do to format the USB drive. Mines says not enough space. I have 16gb USB. Thanks
Am I the only one who can’t find DARequiredROMVersions?
That means u have version 6.1.0 Rcfilms has 6.0.0 just skip the step it’s also in the description
lucas zhao ok thanks
lucas zhao have you tried this out?
@@adamcudi Yes i have tried the instructions in the description it works
Disappointed Reality yessir lmao 💀💀
On my mac it wont let me open the boot camp after I finished the coding. I also didn’t see the DArequired rom thing? Can someone help?
mine does even have the DAREQUIRED part :( constant roadblocks all freaking day just to put windows on my gotdam MAc
Download XCODE then open plist with XCODE place DAREQUIRED as a new array then add the required to a new string.
Apple advises to update (for free) from earlier OS X version (I had OS X Lion) to OS X El Capitan to install Windows 10.
After doing that, I already got the "Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk" option, without going through changing the "info.plist" file.
Is this enough, so that I don't have to go through changing the info.plist? I hope someone answers. Thanks
Soo can we play fortnite there?
ZachRay Yes! If you put enough storage on you can!
After it restarts it says “No bootable disk, press any key” and I replug my disk and press a key but nothing happens
Restart it and hold alt until you see your disk drives
Bruh I waited for the thing to finish the start up partition, it asked for my password a couple times. So as soon as it finishes partitioning, it restarts. I’m thinking the windows installation will come up..but my Mac just reboots back to my regular desktop!!! Help please!
Darren Culp maybe try to hold the option key. See if that helps
RC Films im having the same problem are you sure thats gonna work because when it resets my Mac still shows up instead of Windows please help
Not sure, just make sure you modified the boot camp file properly
Darren Culp Its easy, when starting up computer hold alt key and press efi boot or something like that. It will startup setup.
@@laust3814 what can I do if I holded down the alt key and I still don't see the usb?I only see my hd and recovery
bro can help i'm having problems installing drivers and my boot camp version is 6.0.1 PLS help
Me 3
If you have the 6.1.0 Version of BootCamp you don't need to put the DARequired Rom Version string, instead locate this:
"SupporedNonWin10Models" (yes it is "suppored")
Locate your Mac version (i.e. MacBookPro5,5) then delete it.
You the best bro thanks 🙏🏽
Where are you?!
Iam realy tired until I've shown your video
thank you so much
^_^
Hey, I did everything you did and when my macbook started booting it is stuck on the blue windows logo. Please help
