Thank you, thank you thank you!!! I had an mid 2011 iMac 27 inch standing around for one year. Tried to install Windows 10 unsuccessfully several times and gave up for a while. With your video and the replacement of the defective superdrive I finally got it working! Yeah! Everything worked from the very start! Sound, graphics, camera, bluetooth, wifi. Very happy!
Fantastic tutorial. HEADS UP for Mid 2011 iMac DVD users - you will need a Dual-Layer DVD 8.5GB. The 4.75GB DVDs won't be enough space for the 6+GB iso file.
Just completed the full Windows 10 installation on my 27” iMac,(late 2011)Intel i7 processor,32gb ram 520ssd / 1tb sata (OS X Sierra). Followed all key instruction and everything including sound,graphics,wireless trackpad keyboard,mouse and internet working perfectly just like a new system!! Thanks for sharing,very,very much appreciated!!!😊👍🙏
@@julianoputraperdana1295,yes I’m using the dvd image for the installation,,it does take time to install. NOTE:There will be a time during the install where the screen goes blank/black and it will appear that the installation may have stopped,,,just be patient 5-10 minutes and the installation screen will appear again on the screen again and will continue the setup procedure,,this is where most people have made the mistake by switching off the computer thinking that the installation has stopped! Hope that helps!,,any other problems feel free to ask 😊👍
I have a iMac 2011 and I worked to this method installing Windows 10 Home, and it worked with no issues. I’m now able to use this as a wireless screen extension from my work and personal Windows OS laptops.
I just did this following these specific instructions and am currently running Windows 10 on my mid 2001 iMac. This video helped when the instructions online didn’t. I also had to install windows 8.1 first and then upgrade to Windows 10 due to the 4.7gb size restriction of the DVD-R. Also my Apple BT keyboard didn’t not work at first and after numerous attempts at reinstalling boot camp drivers realized it was a BT issue
Good day, I know this video is 3 years old, but I just had to say “you sir are a God”! I have for over a month, Googling and watching video after video trying to put windows on my Mac 2011. Rewriting software, changing this changing that, just to keep getting no no no. Then in 30 minutes all is functional. Thank you so so much.
All you need to do is get a smaller size version of windows to put onto a 4.7 gb cd, and then you can update it later. I used parallels for Mac to simulate a windows computer and then used the program Rufus to download a smaller size iso, like windows 10 version 1709, which fits on a 4.7 gb cd
Were you able to successfully burn the ISO to a DVD? The ISO file is about 5.4 gb but the DVD has a capacity of only 4.7 gb? Let us know in case you have a solution for this. Thanks in advance!
OK I was able to install full Windows 10 system on a mid 2011 Mac. I did it fallowing this video and I'd used a flash drive instead of DVD all I did was made the flash drive in a windows computer using windows utility program from their website. After this the only issue I came across was my speakers not working so din't had any sound after hours of search I finally give up and install a bluetooth speaker that I had laying around. This took care of the problem.
I had the same problem. It was solved when I installed windows support software (it helps with the drivers). You can download the latest one on the apple website.
THANK YOU for this video! This saved me a headache after seeing the "can't install windows 10 on this machine" errors in bootcamp while trying to upgrade a family member's bootcamp side to 10. I was able to do this exact method but using a USB installer and I didn't have any issues. The only other thing I had to do differently was to run the Bootcamp drivers in compatibility mode with Windows 7.
Excellent! Your method worked perfectly! Thank you! A couple notes from installing on my Mac Pro (late 2013), I borrowed an official Win10 install disc from a friend, and used my own Key that I got, as per your recommendation. I also don’t have a built in dvd drive, so my external LG dvd drive worked just fine. New life to my old computer!
Best one for macpro 3,1 as my earlier efforts with other videos using USB didnt work (couldn't boot from the boot menu....kept getting stuck). The windows drivers worked from the outset even without the bootcamp drivers. Wasn't able to update the graphics card drivers as demonstrated here. Its still the ATI xx00 series but everything seems to be working fine except the bluetooth connection to apple wireless keyboard and trackpad. I updated the display driver as it had the generic one to start with.
Contrary to what the video says, you can check for updates to the Apple Bootcamp software by going the Windows start menu and scrolling down to "Apple Software Update".
when i do it it says Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows 8 or Windows 7 installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows 8 or Windows 7 installation.
Hello I have an Imac 27 mid-2011 with Mac OS Sierra, I have followed your instructions and loaded the Windows 10 installation DVD but its not loading the Windows 10 installer, any assistance would be appreciated?
when I try to install windows I get this prompt saying to install drivers and that it can’t find any drivers.. your video goes straight for selecting english to activating windows but mine goes from selecting english to install drivers
On my imac mid 2011(same as yours) i follow your instruction. Now the screen is black, said : "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key" In the video u tell to wait, ive waitin for 20min, is it normal?
The NVRAM holds a list of Macs that came with a superdrive. There is where the problem with not all Macs capable of booting from USB. You need to edit the NVRAM in order to delete the model number of your Mac and than you can boot from USB as well, not only from the superdrive.
Everything went smooth, except for audio card (High Definition Audio). Windows 10 could not find a drive that works. My computer is a MacBook Pro early 2011. Can you help me someway?
I got the disks but they are not big enough. The windows iso is 5.27gb and my disks are 4.7gb. Is it possible to split the download on to 2 disks and if so how?
Hi, really well presented tutorial. I know you say delete other partitions so that there are only two partitions: Macintosh HD and Bootcamp, however, I really need my other partitions. Will it create lots of issues if there are more than the two?
Great tutorial, easy to follow and simple. Only problem i came across was my apple keyboard not working, i tried downloading different drivers but i cant seem to figure it out. Any ideas?
I can’t get to 11:25 where it shows bootcamp on the screen as a startup disk, it shows I have it on my home screen but when I go to startup disks in my settings it only shows my main hard drive, I’ve tried different methods of holding alt while restarting and nothing works, does someone know a solution or if I did anything wrong. When I click on Bootcamp it doesn’t show any files in it and I’m not sure if that’s normal cause I have the disk with the windows download on it and the usb plugged in. Does someone know why boot camp doesn’t show up in my start up disks?
The problem is with the newer windows IOS files is the ISO is bigger tha 4.7 GB I tried with win 1903 or 1809 and thats doesn't worked because i cant burn the disk. .I'm trying to download the 1607 what you install now, and let's see, I write update later on! :) I hope it's gona work :D
Hey and thanks for the great video! For some reason I cannot delete "Free space" partition from my macintosh HD after deleting older version of windows. Any ideas?

What would be the change in the installation procedure to achieve this goal? Thanks Thanks for your very concise instructions..very much appreciated
tell me, do you have any problems with the brightness of the screen? The k2100m video card is installed, the drivers are installed from bootcamp, but the automatic brightness does not work(( imac 2011 write a solution to the problem!

Nice video an explanation, i've actually given up trying to install Win 7 and 10 on 2011 iMac, from Lion to El Capitan, info.plist edits to my own partitions, years ago i was successful from Win 7 DVD in drive but forget usb drive, black screen no boot, got Win 10 installed on partition but blue screen error when loading, did work once today but then when to blue screen error, appears it's something to do with graphics driver error but blue screen is stopping me from loading bootcamp drivers, so given up and reinstalling High Sierra.

Hi, I have a problem. Once I got to the part of selecting in which partition drive I want to install windows 10, I selected the one that said BOOTCAMP like told in the video, but then it disappeared after Formatting it. What do I do next?
4 роки тому
Sorry, it did not disappeared. The name bootcamp it’s gone, and then the “next” button isn’t available to start de installation process because it says that the partition it’s in GPT. How can I solve this?
The Graphic Card Drivers are giving me issue. During the Windows installation process it fails. When rebooting up again it does take me to the Windows Login Screen after entering password the Windows Repair screen pops up 😪. Cant get past this
Hey man i have successfully installed windows but boot camp installer doesnt show up is there anyway to rectify this. Would I have to download the bootcamp software and manually setup all the drivers ? I have macbook pro 2009 installing windows 10. thanks :)
Follow the instructions in the video for downloading the drivers. If the Bootcamp installer did not start up then yes you would need to run the installer from USB or even install them all manually.
How do I get past the "Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used. This Mac does not support Boot Camp." message? I have no access at all to Boot Camp. Mac Pro 5,5 Mojave. Thanks!
I’m not using a Mac book pro. I have a “iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)” am I able to use an external hard drive that supports DVD’s (that’s cheaper) or do I have to use the $80 SuperDrive from Apple
hi, I installed windows but I have a problem with the drivers. Even if i run the bootcamp setup manually, I don't have any driver installed. It completes the drivers installation, reboots and nothing has happened. I tried many times to run the setup again to repair errors but still nothing. I don't know what to do. need help
This one has been recorded with a proper microphone! Also I have updated the information based on comments from people on the old video. Other than that it's the same method.
When i try to load into windows and log in, i get a blue error screen and then my computer restarts. This happens every time i try to log in, can you please help me
I followed all the steps shown but I receive a blank screen on bootcamp with the words “Install this windows support software after installing windows” yet there is nothing beneath it. When I close bootcamp and begin to restart it doesn’t give me the option for the DVD with windows installed in it. I am running a mid 2007 iMac (old I know) is there any way to fix this?
after many trial and errors.....I followed a procedure of 4 tutorial videos....I created a boot disk using another mac and did everything else manually..... if you have access to a newer mac use that one to create a boot disk..... if not you will have to wrestle the bugs of high sierra if you are using an older mac
thanks for the vid. i got win 10 installed on my MacPro 3,1 (fr ISO burned to DVD) but could not load bootcamp files after windows. on reboot or startup, I could pressing opt does not show boot options, now it would only load into windows. I cleared NVRAM and now it does not boot to anything (neither WIN or OSX) at all. I have tried to research but have not been able to come up with anything. Can you offer any help?
i chose to do this with windows 8.1 instead of 10 due to the disks i have being 1 gigabyte too small to have win10 burned onto it. i do everything correctly and when it comes to selecting the BOOTCAMP drive partition during installation i get the error saying "windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GBT partition style. windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS." any idea what this means or what i can do to fix it? it still shows up even after formatting it. edit; nevermind im so stupid and didnt see the pinned comment. it works now lol. thanks for the tutorial
Help my Mac has now been stuck in this screen for 2 years. I’m afraid my Facebook friends can’t contact me because I’m only logged in on my mac. What if they try to contact me? I have now sat and kept looking at the screen for almost 2 years. What if something went wrong? How do i know if somethings not right. I may have to message apple with a complaint of slow downloading.
i messed up with the storage big rip so now i got 400GB on the windows drive and 200GB on the mac os oof and then i did the restore thing and now all my storage is gone i should have been safe r.i.p is there anything i could do to fix this? nvm lol
Hiya, I followed this and was able to install W10, but it keeps crashing. Additionally, when it did load the first time, it wouldn't let me go into the BC control panel nor did the audio have additional speaker so to choose from. Any ideas?

My Mac error message was "No Bootable Device. Insert the windows installation disk then press a key" Pls fix
The problem is if you use EFI Boot you will have no sound :(
Worked for me, using mac 2011 Sierra. Thank you very much !
I went a different route. I just cleaned my new partition in command prompt as soon as I booted the windows install cd

Your time must be very cheap if you invested hours installing 8.1 and updating to 10 instead of buying a double layer DVD.

How can you use a dvd-r? The largest capacity of dvd-r is 4.7gb and the Windows 10 ISO file on the Microsoft website is over 5gb large?
All you need to do is get a smaller size version of windows to put onto a 4.7 gb cd, and then you can update it later. I used parallels for Mac to simulate a windows computer and then used the program Rufus to download a smaller size iso, like windows 10 version 1709, which fits on a 4.7 gb cd

Once I got to the part of selecting in which partition drive I want to install windows 10, I selected the one that said BOOTCAMP like told in the video, but then it disappeared after Formatting it.
What do I do next?
Sorry, it did not disappeared. The name bootcamp it’s gone, and then the “next” button isn’t available to start de installation process because it says that the partition it’s in GPT.
How can I solve this?
Would this work with windows 11?
The Graphic Card Drivers are giving me issue. During the Windows installation process it fails. When rebooting up again it does take me to the Windows Login Screen after entering password the Windows Repair screen pops up 😪. Cant get past this
Hey man i have successfully installed windows but boot camp installer doesnt show up is there anyway to rectify this. Would I have to download the bootcamp software and manually setup all the drivers ? I have macbook pro 2009 installing windows 10. thanks :)
Follow the instructions in the video for downloading the drivers. If the Bootcamp installer did not start up then yes you would need to run the installer from USB or even install them all manually.
this was really help ful thanks
How do I get past the "Boot Camp Assistant cannot be used. This Mac does not support Boot Camp." message? I have no access at all to Boot Camp. Mac Pro 5,5 Mojave. Thanks!
How many gb does the disk have to have
So I don't own a blank DVD of any kind I don't even know if you can buy them anymore
I’m not using a Mac book pro. I have a “iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)” am I able to use an external hard drive that supports DVD’s (that’s cheaper) or do I have to use the $80 SuperDrive from Apple
What if the DVD iso was burned from a PC? It should theoretically still work right or no??
Awesome, looking to try this on my 2008 Mac Pro 3,1using a Windows Pro DVD.
I did everything you said and the disk neither the USB drive pops up on the start boot screen
hi, I installed windows but I have a problem with the drivers. Even if i run the bootcamp setup manually, I don't have any driver installed. It completes the drivers installation, reboots and nothing has happened. I tried many times to run the setup again to repair errors but still nothing. I don't know what to do. need help
When I go onto windows it says
It says it’s missing

Good vid! What's the difference between this video and the old one?
This one has been recorded with a proper microphone! Also I have updated the information based on comments from people on the old video. Other than that it's the same method.

Hi, i've followed every step but when I restart my mac just appears the "macintosh hd" and the "recovery option", no sign of the CD, anyone help me?
Thanks a bunch .... Worked perfectly
When i try to load into windows and log in, i get a blue error screen and then my computer restarts. This happens every time i try to log in, can you please help me
I followed all the steps shown but I receive a blank screen on bootcamp with the words “Install this windows support software after installing windows” yet there is nothing beneath it. When I close bootcamp and begin to restart it doesn’t give me the option for the DVD with windows installed in it. I am running a mid 2007 iMac (old I know) is there any way to fix this?
Hey man Thank you for the tutorial
Sadly when rebooted there is no disk to choose. Do you know what went wrong? Thank you very much
LUMEiLiO be sure to hold down the "Option" key when you first turn your computer... Should show them all then.
Gene Bruneau doesn’t work
I have a black screen when gpu drivers install. Mid 2010.
after many trial and errors.....I followed a procedure of 4 tutorial videos....I created a boot disk using another mac and did everything else manually..... if you have access to a newer mac use that one to create a boot disk..... if not you will have to wrestle the bugs of high sierra if you are using an older mac
Thank you so much. It worked perfectly !
thanks for the vid. i got win 10 installed on my MacPro 3,1 (fr ISO burned to DVD) but could not load bootcamp files after windows. on reboot or startup, I could pressing opt does not show boot options, now it would only load into windows.
I cleared NVRAM and now it does not boot to anything (neither WIN or OSX) at all. I have tried to research but have not been able to come up with anything. Can you offer any help?
i chose to do this with windows 8.1 instead of 10 due to the disks i have being 1 gigabyte too small to have win10 burned onto it. i do everything correctly and when it comes to selecting the BOOTCAMP drive partition during installation i get the error saying "windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk is of the GBT partition style. windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS." any idea what this means or what i can do to fix it? it still shows up even after formatting it.
edit; nevermind im so stupid and didnt see the pinned comment. it works now lol. thanks for the tutorial
Me, wen the program of windows start, after the logo, it saying [Windows Can not Read the Parameter of the Unattended Answer File] Please answers me!
I ran into an error, igdkmd64.sys any fix?
Didn't work, the shortcuts don't appear. I restart just Recovery and Mcintosh HD.
Help my Mac has now been stuck in this screen for 2 years. I’m afraid my Facebook friends can’t contact me because I’m only logged in on my mac. What if they try to contact me? I have now sat and kept looking at the screen for almost 2 years. What if something went wrong? How do i know if somethings not right. I may have to message apple with a complaint of slow downloading.
I do not have a DVD that is big enough. Could I use two 4.7 GB discs? And how would I do that?
Thanks this was super helpful
i messed up with the storage big rip so now i got 400GB on the windows drive and 200GB on the mac os oof and then i did the restore thing and now all my storage is gone i should have been safe r.i.p is there anything i could do to fix this? nvm lol
Hiya, I followed this and was able to install W10, but it keeps crashing. Additionally, when it did load the first time, it wouldn't let me go into the BC control panel nor did the audio have additional speaker so to choose from. Any ideas?
