    Another variant of this .. I got Bootcamp running on its own external 500GB SSD that I can just mount and boot into when needed, without having to use up precious space on the internal SSD. Just one issue .. don’t enable third party NTFS driver extensions like Paragon or Tuxera, or it will stop the external SSD being recognized on reboot when you press option to select the SSD to boot.

      @@dubbxylon1470 The safest way to do this is by using Winclone for macOS. You can use it to clone your entire partition and save it to an archive or transfer it to another disk. The interface is simple and easy to understand. I used it to move my internal bootcamp partition to an external SSD. Just remember not to use third party NTFS software when needing to dual boot (as mentioned above).

    Great video on some of the pitfalls of Boot Camp. I found Boot Camp took up too much space to partition on my main drive on my Mac.

    Can you help? My iMac just won't let Windows work. When I boot into Windows 10, it goes into a boot loop and eventually windows will say "Your PC didn't start correctly" but you can't do anything in cmd, etc because simply this is before the setup is completed and there are no user accounts. It used to work, but now it just simply refuses to.

      This sounds fully like a windows issue rather than anything to do with it being on a Mac, sounds a lot like a failed update that's causing issues but I'm not familiar enough with windows to know how you'd repair that. This may be a good place to start? ua-cam.com/video/-DSIfh08fpM/v-deo.html

      Boot camp itself won't be specifically visible in windows, if you can, connect to your network via ethernet (assuming your system has that) and see if you can get the wifi drivers that way as that's likely the issue.

    Hi! Billy Mays here!
    Did you actually just do an infomercial? I appreciate sponsors are what makes a channel viable, but please add content to the script that pays the rent. It would have been relatively easy to compare performance of Steam games while running natively on OSX and on W10 via your sponsor. If nudged, Steam might have had a bit of budget for the content as well. Still like your video's, though.

    • @iCaveDave
      @iCaveDave  4 роки тому

      Hey, the only part that was sponsored was where to get a key, the rest was just actually around why I'd not been using Boot Camp before, and a lot of the audience had been asking about what the issue was. So I was able to kill two birds with one stone here :)

      Hey, Windows is still Windows so it can crash but shouldn't affect your Mac install. And yes if you're done with windows you can re-absorb that partition back into your main drive.
