Thank you! This tutorial worked perfectly for me. I tried two others tutorials and neither worked. I am glad I found your very detailed video. I have a 2019 Mac running Mojave and the only hitch I ran into was that I had to go back and turn off my T2 security settings, instead of setting them to medium, which is no big deal.
3 things: 1) You are like a nerdy Australian James Franco! 2)This was awesome, and worked like a charm. 3) When running Windows from the USB drive, how can I access my internal hard drives? I currently cannot see any of them, and in diskpart they show up as offline. Thanks!

Did you have bootcamp normally installed before? Weirdly it did work for me when i did the setup, but now it freezes when i try to boot from the SSD. Sure its another one of the great bugs of Catalina (but wondering if deleting the bootcamp partition i still have from before would make it work again because it does work on all other macbooks without bootcamp and a lower OSX...)
If you get an ‘Unable to boot from disk’ or something like that change the securty from Full or Medium to ‘No Security’. Booted right into win 10 install! Hands down best youtube tut I’ve ever used. Thank you so much for taking the time! This took hours but you saved me days. Especially your winclone advice. Great program
This is awesome!!! Thank u so much :) a couple of things- when I followed your steps my built in keyboard and trackpad worked (no plugin required) and I wasn’t given any additional options when selecting “Security Utility” (in the disk utilities in the startup section) it just requested I input a password twice. Simply adding the password (and repeating it) and then restarting the computer (and holding down the option key) gives a grey padlock over the black background and a password entry box where you can type in the password to get to the disk/drive selection section. Maybe it’s because of a recent update to Mac. :)
Can't believe this worked. Things like this NEVER work for me. I was holding my breath the entire time waiting for errors. I did have a couple hiccups I'll mention in case anyone in the comments experiences the same problem. 1) If, upon restarting and selecting to boot in your SSD drive it still goes to the Mac startup, try holding the options key again immediately after selecting your SSD drive 2) If you get an error in wintousb that says there is an iso problem, try repeating the step at 3:53 3) You will need an external keyboard AND an external mouse for the step at 7:30 Thanks again for this, Vtudio.

I am so grateful to have discovered these instructions for more reasons that simply loving your enthusiasm and super cool surfing shirt. :) I have trying to achieve success for +/- 10 hours and have tried similar instructions at various from all over the web to no avail until NOW(!) Your guidance is appropriately comprehensive in that you include a few crucial steps which may seem trivial but I just couldn't figure out. I was never seeing my external drive after arriving at the stage of creating the bootable external drive ARrRrgGGHh! But what YOU where ALL others had an epic fail, is to 1) actually call out connecting the external AFTER the VM was running, hence Windows can SEE it but also gave an explanation that sometimes it is not seen and covered the reformat steps again as well as switching back and forth. Dilbert move by me I guess (for 10 hours lol) but it seems it simply wasn't mounted to Windows mischievous eyes heh. It seems I had always had it mounted on the Mac side erroneously. THANK YOU! You saved the day and are as wonderful a human being as they come, cut from golden silk. I love you. hehe Seriously, I deeply appreciate your instructions as they may have prevented me from willing admitting myself into the psychiatric ward of the hospital close by for a 72-hour hold "5150" as it's called here in California. You think I'm kidding? It's called "Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital and is 1.1 miles from my apartment! OK, I am kissing but the sentiment is authentic and a weight has lifted from my chest and previously crumbling sanity. Sending all of my Light both you and all of your loved ones. I am so grateful. :D
I didn’t quite understand the part about the drivers. What are they for? Do I really need them and which one do I have to install? Really great video works like a charm 👌
Thanks for a really useful video. Quick question - is Parallels needed after the install and setup? Wasnt clear to me whether thats required just for the installation or to run windows post install? Thanks again!
Disable driver signature enforcement otherwise apple drivers will not install correctly. From windows: Start >> Hold shift >> Restart >> Troubleshoot >> Advanced Options >> Startup Settings >> Restart On reboot hold option and boot into Windows SSD. On the list of options which appear press F7 to disable enforcement of driver signatures. When back inside of windows open Device Manager right click all the unknown devices and update driver. Select the folder where Boot Camp installer is as the installer should have extracted the relevant driver. Ensure scan subfolders is checked. Repeat above for all unknown devices. When prompted about driver signature click install anyway. Your drivers should now work.
Vtudio no problem. Thank you for the video worked perfectly except the drivers part. I also managed to upgrade the Enterprise using the control panel and changing key... I partitioned my large external SSD and have 50% running exfat for Mac and windows support. Cheers.
So this is weird - seems I have the described driver issue. I can never get to the 7 F7 part - the screen goes black for several minutes. I then hold the power button on my MBP for a while and then Windows restarts - and the drivers are fixing themselves. However, after another restart the PC Can’t boot (stop error). How can I get to the F7 screen?
So I did a full new clean Windows install on the SSD and now I get to the screen where you disable the driver signatures. Installing clean boot camp drivers now.... fingers crossed....
for my macbook pro 2018 I have to change security level to no security in order to install windows. So frustrating, but figured out after two days of trialing.
Great video! I've installed Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro (2013), the only odd thing was I couldn't drag and drop files from my macos desktop onto the Windows 10 Parellels VM, checked settings and it should have worked, so I just used the ssd to transfer the files. Rest of setup went perfectly. These external sdd drives are very useful for booting os, I have 2 Sandisk Extreme 500G, one booting MacOs 10.14 and another now booting Windows 10 (upgraded to Pro), the onboard sdd has 10.9 since some software we have can't be upgraded. So one macbook and 3 operating systems! thanks again.
@@headsoftech any ideas on how to prevent the usb 3.0 from disconnecting after windows is running? Sometimes it runs for a while and then it'll drop out and I have to restart.
Hey all just got this working today with a 2020 MacBook Pro 16in but ran into one issue I thought others may have. I had to choose “no security” initially to get my computer to boot windows for the first time. Other than that I did everything the same.
@@TheBeefDerky I just installed the latest Bootcamp drivers in Win10. Just make sure you have the Win10 drive defined as primary boot drive. It worked for me on the Samsung T5. Good luck
If anyone is running this on a Mac older than 2018, you don't have the T2 chip and just need to ship the part where he goes into Recovery mode. Once you've properly setup your SSD, restart the Mac and hold down the Option key when you see the Apple logo and the SSD with Windows 10 should pop up as a bootable drive when it asks you which drive you wish to boot from.
Devin Shields ues same as me when I restart because it takes a lot of time on windos logo, it becomes error for restart, and when I press quit it is loop restart
Was wondering if the ssd with bootcamp Windows on it could be used with another computer, other than the one you made it? Or does it only run on that computer. On another note, Thank you for the great video! It works like a charm!
Wow, seriously thank you so much! This worked amazingly, and your instructions were super easy to follow. We need more channels like yours out there! Definitely subbed!
I would like to give you a quick tip to avoid the need for an external keyboard. You don't need it. You can easily use the on-screen one (click on the bottom-left icon) and just create the user/password combination with that keyboard. Once you are in Windows, the first thing you do is installing the boot camp drivers, which will also install the built-in keyboard drivers. Unfortunately, you would still need an external USB mouse.
MacBook Pro 2018, I also had to set security to none. It wouldn’t boot into windows to run setup. Once I changed that it was perfect. Great tutorial even for an IOS noob like myself.
hey man, epic vid thanks! i only got one issue, i cant get the sound working either through the speakers nor the headphone jack, whats the solution for this??
Juan Pablo Camus so I got this to and then updated windows and it still didn’t work. I had to go into control panel, then to sound video and game controllers. From there I switched the cirrus logic driver to high quality driver. Restarted my computer, then switched it back to cirrus logic and it worked!
Dear Friend, many thanks for your detailed video but it does not work on my Macbook air. I did all thing but once ı started machine again while pushing Alt(option key), my usb device does not appear there.
I'm using windows 10 November 2019 on macbook pro 2015 and, at 7:51, when starting the boot camp setup it shows a message saying "setup was unable to find the msi package or patch", help please!!
BootCamp is only intended to assist you with installing Windows on your Mac's internal hard drive and will NOT work with installing on an external storage device. For this you would probably need to use a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare.
@@erictovar2885 in order to run programs such as VMware Fusion & parallels. you will need to go into system recovery & go into your terminal to turn off your sip settings. this is a very important step because this gives you the advantage of not having to use windows hardware for the windows boot camp installation. your laptop must be powered off to go into system recovery.
This walkthrough is superb- had been hitting my head against the WinToUSB step on my own for a few hours before finding your video, now I'm booting into external-SSD-based windows like it's native! One big question for you- my main rig is a Mac mini with Apple bluetooth keys/mouse. Obviously no local drivers for b.t. on first loading up, and I've got stuck with no input/control! We've got an old 2015 MacBook Air, and so have been able to complete Windows setup on that- but can't install the specific Windows Support drivers intended for my Mac mini (I have installed the MacBook Air ones). I'm obviously avoiding intending to spend £15 on unwanted USB keyboard/mice rn, so any pro tips on either forcing install of Mac mini support s/w via MacBook Air, or are you rightly going to say "just spend £15 on a one-use cabled keyboard/mouse"? Many thanks!
RESOLUTION I installed following exactly 100% to the point on a 256gb ssd drive on MBP 2019 i9, same problem as some other here when boot in medium security it will follow a repair installation screen of Mojave, changing to no security it works and boot on windows 10 , thanks to Vtudio and everyone that solve ! thanks
It took me so much time to get this done and this tut just made it so easy and quickly running. Thank you so much. It worked just fine on iMac 2017 with 10.15 Catalina.
I try to boot into Windows mode, but after seeing "Getting Ready..." and the Windows logo for a bit, the apple logo reappears and boots into mac. Any ideas on how to fix?
@@kabison33 Hey, been a while, but if I remember correctly, I had just restarted it over and over again...and then one time it just worked... Definitely not a science, but I think I got it on the 5th try or something...
Sahaj Satani Hi. I have the same issue. I’m using an iMac 27” and even though I’ve installed the boot camp drivers twice, I can’t use the wireless keyboard and mouse. :-(
Great video with all the pitfalls demonstrated to share the experience. More should follow this method. This explained a few issues I had overlooked previously even with watching 20x "other" youtube vids.
@2wheelphoto ya! I got the same issue with that configuration and it always flipped back. What u gotta do is do NOT try to change the settings after failed boot. Shut down your Mac, restart and boot with CMD+R into recovery Mode. Only there you have the Possibility to change it. After changing, restart, tap OPT and start via UEFI. Pls tell if it worked well for u too bruh :)
Real nice walk-through, thumps up. BUT... a question: Could you maybe explain shortly, why should one do this and install Win on extSSD, instead of just using Parallels on the Mac itself. It would be the same, you could also use shared file systems and switch faster from one system to the other. I see that with ur guide its two single isolated systems, but what exactly is the value the user gets out of this instead of using parallels on the mac itself?
Hello Guys, I have a Sabrent Rocket Pro NVME USB C drive and for some reason the wintousb installation would always fail randomly prompting me to either turn of my antivirus or giving me the message "the system cannot write to the specified device", after a week of installing and reinstalling parallels, using different windows 10 iso files, trying different drive formatting options and even downgrading from macOS Catalina to Mojave, I realized that for some reason the usb c cable that was provided with the hard drive was what was causing the issue. I changed the cable and used the USB C charging cable apple provided with my MacBook to charge the laptop and it worked no issue. I just wanted to let you guys know if anyone had a similar issue. On my 2018 MacBook Pro I also had to turn the T2 security to off as it would not boot on medium security. I also believe the May 2019 (1903) iso file is better as I had more luck with this than the latest one (November 2019) on Microsoft's website. You can download the previous version of a Windows 10 iso using Rufus.
Hi, I only have a problem when I restart the mac by pressing command R at the moment that the recovery mode, then I go to utilities> startup security utility, the option to enter macos password does not appear, on the contrary it appears (activate firmware password) then it cannot continue the process, please help help help help
Excellent tutorial. Everything worked perfectly on first try. Only I assume because it’s USB there is no sound. Using it on IMAC 2019. Any suggestions?
It is possible. You will need over 200gb of storage free though(just delete old downloads or .download files as they are useless). You will need to first download the windows 10 iso from Microsoft’s website, then you will need to open boot camp assistant which is in the utilities folder in applications. Once the app is open it will have instructions and then a graph which lets you adjust how Much storage you want windows to have finally click the install and let it do its thing and eventually it will reboot into windows 10 and with Apple’s driver installer open and then continue with that like in this video
@@hackitmaster1505 I couldn't do it. Parallels doesn't detect the partition and VirtualBox doesn't work. So I installed in my entire external ssd, there was no other option
Awesome tutorial!! But I have two big questions: I am now using windows without a license key, will I have any disadvantages without one? and can I just buy one and enter it in the field in the windows settings without loosing my data? please answer🙏🏻
It just doesn't let you customise the desktop wallpaper, but applications work the same, and yes you can just enter the license in the settings without loosing any data.
Hey everything worked for me but when allow it in the recovery set and restart it it let me choose the EFI and after showing apple startup process it takes couple of mins and then a message pops up saying unable to verify startup disk. How to resolve it?
Joe Clayton I managed to rectify the problem, just had to reboot back in Mac OS, delete the support software via parallels, then re-downloaded the support software and copied across again via parallels, then reboot back into windows and try again and it worked, something just must not have copied over correctly the first time!
Great Video. Just few questions before i buy an ssd for this. how is the performance from ssd ? Can i play games ? And does it throttle in windows as well ?
me too mine only says ' Firmware password protection is off' then it says ' Turn on a firmware password to prevent this computer from starting up from a different hard disk, CD and DVD without the password' - could it be that the external hard drive is on the wrong format? I formatted like how you've said but after installing everything the format changed to (NTFS)
@@nainagupta6277 This likely means that you have a Mac that doesn't have the new T2 feature. (like mine) All you have to do is skip that Recovery stuff step in the process. Once you've properly setup your SSD, restart the Mac and hold down the Option key when you see the Apple logo and the SSD with Windows 10 should pop up as a bootable drive when it asks you which drive you wish to boot from.
@@MetaRookI have the same issue, and I skip it but after I open the windows and try to setup the windows suporrt the windows will crush in the middle and black screen will show up forever
Great video. Thanks a lot. Do you think you can also access network servers from Windows installed in the external ssd if it is currently connected to iOS?
Everything went smoothly until i tried to restart into the driver in Startup disk, it gave me the error You can’t change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk. I would appreciate a solution to this.
It works perfectly ! until i installed bootcamp ! the screen turns black PS : dont have eGPU : my keyboard and mouse worked before i installed bootcamp
This is a dumb question. Is there anyway to make the product key I purchased work? I ‘found’ one that works. I think it has something to do with me buying home and not pro. Thanks for putting this together. 😁

When I try and download windows 10 November 2019 (only one available) using the win to usb the installation never gets off of 0% . Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
I looked into a WinToUSB alternative which (according to the website) addresses this problem, but by the time I had downloaded the alternative software, WinToUSB was at 26%, so I'd recommend trying again. I quit the VM and reloaded it which might have helped. If that doesn't work go for the alternative. Quick google search gave me this but check how trustworthy you think it looks cos I was in two minds. Good luck :)

The HDD is your windows hard drive in that situation. If you remove it, you're removing the brain and the computer will crash. You can also chose to install bootcamp on the internal drive if you don't want the external drive connected

COMMON TIPS
- If changing T2 security to medium doesn't work for you, try turning it off.
- Newer Macs require the latest v1909 of Windows 10, however for older Macs and eGPU support you can download the most compatible version of Windows 10 (v1903) from a link in the official Microsoft community forums here: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/install-an-older-version-of-windows-10/3d4b9139-383b-4736-899e-c8cda1619aac
- Can you uninstall the Virtual Machine after Windows is setup?
+ Yes, but it's useful if you want to read/write files to your Bootcamp drive.
- Can you install Windows 10 on a slow (non-SSD) USB drive?
+ Yes, but it can run very VERY slow (try getting something faster than 10MB/s): ua-cam.com/video/-g-6l59JjFA/v-deo.html
- After the free Windows trial, what happens?
+ They ask you every now and then to buy a licence, but you can still keep using it with certain features like changing the desktop wallpaper disabled.
- Wait, can you access your Windows drive from Mac?
+ Yes, but READ only, for write support you need to install a third party app like Tuxera NTFS - but third party apps can sometimes corrupt your file systems, so do this at your own risk. Alternatively you can use the virtual machine as a proxy.
- Can you partition your drive to be half Windows, half Mac?
+ From

- Can you upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro?
+ Yes, go to Settings > Update & Security > Activation

Tip: if your external drive isn't showing up in parallels.
1.Download the trial of the NTFS tool by Paragon.(a bit of a slow installation)
2.Use it to format the drive to NTFS.
3.I had to manually disconnect the usb cable, wait a few seconds, plug it back in.
4.When Parallels prompts about where to use device select Windows.
5.Open Windows Explorer to see if the drive has been picked by Windows and not just with (Mac) beside it.
I had to do steps 3 to 5 a few times until the drive showed up. After this you can follow the instructions in the video about opening WinToUSB and install Windows.

I was never seeing my external drive after arriving at the stage of creating the bootable external drive ARrRrgGGHh! But what YOU where ALL others had an epic fail, is to 1) actually call out connecting the external AFTER the VM was running, hence Windows can SEE it but also gave an explanation that sometimes it is not seen and covered the reformat steps again as well as switching back and forth. Dilbert move by me I guess (for 10 hours lol) but it seems it simply wasn't mounted to Windows mischievous eyes heh. It seems I had always had it mounted on the Mac side erroneously. THANK YOU! You saved the day and are as wonderful a human being as they come, cut from golden silk. I love you. hehe Seriously, I deeply appreciate your instructions as they may have prevented me from willing admitting myself into the psychiatric ward of the hospital close by for a 72-hour hold "5150" as it's called here in California. You think I'm kidding? It's called "Adventist Health White Memorial Hospital and is 1.1 miles from my apartment! OK, I am kissing but the sentiment is authentic and a weight has lifted from my chest and previously crumbling sanity. Sending all of my Light both you and all of your loved ones. I am so grateful. :D
Worked perfect for me with the 2019 November ISO and a 2019 MacBook Pro 16”. Thanks for the detailed video.
Glad it helped mate
The Bootcamp Drivers aren’t working for me! It says successfully installed but keyboard, network and trackpad isn’t working. How did you install them?
Fresh Clash I installed the exact way the video showed. All works except trackpad tapping and sound out of the speakers.
Lights On Deerberry thank you for the quick reply. That’s really weird! I will reinstall Windows maybe it works afterwards
I didn’t quite understand the part about the drivers. What are they for? Do I really need them and which one do I have to install? Really great video works like a charm 👌
Thanks for a really useful video. Quick question - is Parallels needed after the install and setup? Wasnt clear to me whether thats required just for the installation or to run windows post install? Thanks again!
Hey mate, you can trash it after you've setup the install SSD.
Awesome! Thanks again!
Disable driver signature enforcement otherwise apple drivers will not install correctly.
From windows:
Start >> Hold shift >> Restart >> Troubleshoot >> Advanced Options >> Startup Settings >> Restart
On reboot hold option and boot into Windows SSD. On the list of options which appear press F7 to disable enforcement of driver signatures.
When back inside of windows open Device Manager right click all the unknown devices and update driver. Select the folder where Boot Camp installer is as the installer should have extracted the relevant driver. Ensure scan subfolders is checked.
Repeat above for all unknown devices. When prompted about driver signature click install anyway.
Your drivers should now work.
Thanks for the tip mate.
Vtudio no problem. Thank you for the video worked perfectly except the drivers part. I also managed to upgrade the Enterprise using the control panel and changing key... I partitioned my large external SSD and have 50% running exfat for Mac and windows support. Cheers.
So this is weird - seems I have the described driver issue. I can never get to the 7 F7 part - the screen goes black for several minutes. I then hold the power button on my MBP for a while and then Windows restarts - and the drivers are fixing themselves. However, after another restart the PC Can’t boot (stop error). How can I get to the F7 screen?
So I did a full new clean Windows install on the SSD and now I get to the screen where you disable the driver signatures. Installing clean boot camp drivers now.... fingers crossed....
Norbert Kreuzer is that doesn’t work try go to device manager and right click install manually. Should work.
for my macbook pro 2018 I have to change security level to no security in order to install windows. So frustrating, but figured out after two days of trialing.
🏆
Thanks
Great video! I've installed Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro (2013), the only odd thing was I couldn't drag and drop files from my macos desktop onto the Windows 10 Parellels VM, checked settings and it should have worked, so I just used the ssd to transfer the files. Rest of setup went perfectly. These external sdd drives are very useful for booting os, I have 2 Sandisk Extreme 500G, one booting MacOs 10.14 and another now booting Windows 10 (upgraded to Pro), the onboard sdd has 10.9 since some software we have can't be upgraded. So one macbook and 3 operating systems! thanks again.
Mate, that's great to hear. Congrats.

Hey all just got this working today with a 2020 MacBook Pro 16in but ran into one issue I thought others may have. I had to choose “no security” initially to get my computer to boot windows for the first time. Other than that I did everything the same.
Same with me. Did not work until i changed to no security
This is what I needed I think!
Wow, I’m amazed. 🤯 Super simple if you keep rewatching every step
This video is 🔥🔥 Great work but then I expect nothing less from you. You’re a legend thank you for the education 🙏
Thanks Doctor
Everything worked well, the whole progress took me about an hour. Thanks for the great tutorial
where did you find that old windows iso?
Works just fine with Windows 10 November Update. Thank you!!!
How did you manage to download the support folders? I get an error every time
Great tutorial. I got all my issues sorted eventually. Now it boots automatically into Win10 when the USB drive is plugged in. Top man!
Could you by any chance tell me how to make it automatically load into windows when the usb device is plugged in? That would be great to know!
@@TheBeefDerky I just installed the latest Bootcamp drivers in Win10. Just make sure you have the Win10 drive defined as primary boot drive. It worked for me on the Samsung T5. Good luck
R2BCH2 thx man!
This worked perfectly , but i used virtual box and yes November 2019 image works
Thanks for letting us know mate
it mean that you did not instal windows on ext drive?
amazing. I learned so much from your upgrade videos on macpros and now this one.
This worked perfectly brother 🙏🏾. Only tutorial on UA-cam that actually made sense 🤦🏾♂️. Thank you so much brother 🤙🏾
Glad to have helped mate
If anyone is running this on a Mac older than 2018, you don't have the T2 chip and just need to ship the part where he goes into Recovery mode. Once you've properly setup your SSD, restart the Mac and hold down the Option key when you see the Apple logo and the SSD with Windows 10 should pop up as a bootable drive when it asks you which drive you wish to boot from.
When rebooting into windows installment, the installation fails and restarts into a never ending loop.
Devin Shields ues same as me when I restart because it takes a lot of time on windos logo, it becomes error for restart, and when I press quit it is loop restart
same thing happening to me
Me 2
Any fix for this found yet?
Same to me, I just had to redo the entire process, worked fine the second time!
Was wondering if the ssd with bootcamp Windows on it could be used with another computer, other than the one you made it? Or does it only run on that computer. On another note, Thank you for the great video! It works like a charm!
Wow, seriously thank you so much! This worked amazingly, and your instructions were super easy to follow. We need more channels like yours out there! Definitely subbed!
Thanks mate, glad you found it useful.
@@headsoftech its sooo usfull except we need another keybourd and mouse
I would like to give you a quick tip to avoid the need for an external keyboard. You don't need it. You can easily use the on-screen one (click on the bottom-left icon) and just create the user/password combination with that keyboard. Once you are in Windows, the first thing you do is installing the boot camp drivers, which will also install the built-in keyboard drivers.
Unfortunately, you would still need an external USB mouse.
Nice one
Awesome! It works for me fully!
Just a question, will WinToUSB continue to work even I have selected trial version?
Yep, the trial version just limits you to install Windows Home instead of Pro.
@@headsoftech Its saying the free version does not allow cloning to a Thunderbolt Harddrive was this b/c I am using a newer version of WintoUSB
MacBook Pro 2018, I also had to set security to none. It wouldn’t boot into windows to run setup. Once I changed that it was perfect. Great tutorial even for an IOS noob like myself.
hey man, epic vid thanks! i only got one issue, i cant get the sound working either through the speakers nor the headphone jack, whats the solution for this??
Updating windows to its latest version worked for me
Juan Pablo Camus so I got this to and then updated windows and it still didn’t work. I had to go into control panel, then to sound video and game controllers. From there I switched the cirrus logic driver to high quality driver. Restarted my computer, then switched it back to cirrus logic and it worked!
I have similar problem. MBP16 speakers doesn’t work but other sound devices are working great like headphones or external speakers. What to do :(
Works like a charm. Just followed the instructions and installed in one go. Thank you.
It wasn't booting for me until I switched to 'No Security' as

Dear Friend, many thanks for your detailed video but it does not work on my Macbook air. I did all thing but once ı started machine again while pushing Alt(option key), my usb device does not appear there.
I'm using windows 10 November 2019 on macbook pro 2015 and, at 7:51, when starting the boot camp setup it shows a message saying "setup was unable to find the msi package or patch", help please!!
BootCamp is only intended to assist you with installing Windows on your Mac's internal hard drive and will NOT work with installing on an external storage device. For this you would probably need to use a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare.
@@erictovar2885 in order to run programs such as VMware Fusion & parallels. you will need to go into system recovery & go into your terminal to turn off your sip settings. this is a very important step because this gives you the advantage of not having to use windows hardware for the windows boot camp installation. your laptop must be powered off to go into system recovery.
This walkthrough is superb- had been hitting my head against the WinToUSB step on my own for a few hours before finding your video, now I'm booting into external-SSD-based windows like it's native! One big question for you- my main rig is a Mac mini with Apple bluetooth keys/mouse. Obviously no local drivers for b.t. on first loading up, and I've got stuck with no input/control! We've got an old 2015 MacBook Air, and so have been able to complete Windows setup on that- but can't install the specific Windows Support drivers intended for my Mac mini (I have installed the MacBook Air ones). I'm obviously avoiding intending to spend £15 on unwanted USB keyboard/mice rn, so any pro tips on either forcing install of Mac mini support s/w via MacBook Air, or are you rightly going to say "just spend £15 on a one-use cabled keyboard/mouse"? Many thanks!
RESOLUTION I installed following exactly 100% to the point on a 256gb ssd drive on MBP 2019 i9, same problem as some other here when boot in medium security it will follow a repair installation screen of Mojave, changing to no security it works and boot on windows 10 , thanks to Vtudio and everyone that solve ! thanks

@@headsoftech After the evaluation period has expired, can we still run Windows side-by-side with our Mac?

Sahaj Satani Hi. I have the same issue. I’m using an iMac 27” and even though I’ve installed the boot camp drivers twice, I can’t use the wireless keyboard and mouse. :-(
Great video with all the pitfalls demonstrated to share the experience. More should follow this method. This explained a few issues I had overlooked previously even with watching 20x "other" youtube vids.
When I select EFI boot i get an apple logo and a message saying Mac OS needs to be reinstalled.
Did you find a solution for this?
@Rishabh Mittal thank you!
@Rishabh Mittal Gdi.. thank your bruh!! Finally this machine runs with windows
@2wheelphoto ya! I got the same issue with that configuration and it always flipped back. What u gotta do is do NOT try to change the settings after failed boot. Shut down your Mac, restart and boot with CMD+R into recovery Mode. Only there you have the Possibility to change it. After changing, restart, tap OPT and start via UEFI. Pls tell if it worked well for u too bruh :)
Rishabh Mittal is it bad there’s no security?
Real nice walk-through, thumps up. BUT... a question: Could you maybe explain shortly, why should one do this and install Win on extSSD, instead of just using Parallels on the Mac itself. It would be the same, you could also use shared file systems and switch faster from one system to the other. I see that with ur guide its two single isolated systems, but what exactly is the value the user gets out of this instead of using parallels on the mac itself?
It's really work dude, on my imac 2017 5k.
Congrats mate
Great - what drive did you go with?
Great video thanks! Just a small question how do I encrypt my windows to go? Thanks a lot
Is there anything to do if I don’t have an external keyboard
You can use the keyboard on screen... you can activate from left bottom button, but you need external mouse!
Hello Guys, I have a Sabrent Rocket Pro NVME USB C drive and for some reason the wintousb installation would always fail randomly prompting me to either turn of my antivirus or giving me the message "the system cannot write to the specified device", after a week of installing and reinstalling parallels, using different windows 10 iso files, trying different drive formatting options and even downgrading from macOS Catalina to Mojave, I realized that for some reason the usb c cable that was provided with the hard drive was what was causing the issue. I changed the cable and used the USB C charging cable apple provided with my MacBook to charge the laptop and it worked no issue. I just wanted to let you guys know if anyone had a similar issue.
On my 2018 MacBook Pro I also had to turn the T2 security to off as it would not boot on medium security. I also believe the May 2019 (1903) iso file is better as I had more luck with this than the latest one (November 2019) on Microsoft's website. You can download the previous version of a Windows 10 iso using Rufus.
This worked perfectly thanks! I did one thing different though I used a friends window computer to burn the iso onto the ssd. But it worked thanks!
Nice one
Any way to do this with “full security”?
Many thanks for the detailed video
Not that I know of, but let me know if you find a way.
Hi, I only have a problem when I restart the mac by pressing command R at the moment that the recovery mode, then I go to utilities> startup security utility, the option to enter macos password does not appear, on the contrary it appears (activate firmware password) then it cannot continue the process, please help help help help
The same. Probably it is because my macbook is too old (2015 pro) and it doesnt have T2 security chip in it. I donow
If you don’t get the option for security just skip that step and continue with the next step of restarting computer and holding down option(alt)
I have the same issue

This is a helpful tutorial! What ssd model did you use and was gaming performance acceptable?
Do all of these tools work for free to use
or $?
Yeah, a couple are limited and trial based, but no paywalls.
Excellent tutorial. Everything worked perfectly on first try. Only I assume because it’s USB there is no sound. Using it on IMAC 2019. Any suggestions?
I would like to do this but only in a partition. (I have 1 tb ssd and I just need 200gb for windows) It is possibly?
It is possible. You will need over 200gb of storage free though(just delete old downloads or .download files as they are useless). You will need to first download the windows 10 iso from Microsoft’s website, then you will need to open boot camp assistant which is in the utilities folder in applications. Once the app is open it will have instructions and then a graph which lets you adjust how Much storage you want windows to have finally click the install and let it do its thing and eventually it will reboot into windows 10 and with Apple’s driver installer open and then continue with that like in this video
You can easily find a UA-cam video of the process and Apple has a much better written guide
@@hackitmaster1505 I couldn't do it. Parallels doesn't detect the partition and VirtualBox doesn't work. So I installed in my entire external ssd, there was no other option
Awesome tutorial!!
But I have two big questions: I am now using windows without a license key, will I have any disadvantages without one? and can I just buy one and enter it in the field in the windows settings without loosing my data?
please answer🙏🏻
It just doesn't let you customise the desktop wallpaper, but applications work the same, and yes you can just enter the license in the settings without loosing any data.

me too mine only says ' Firmware password protection is off' then it says ' Turn on a firmware password to prevent this computer from starting up from a different hard disk, CD and DVD without the password'
- could it be that the external hard drive is on the wrong format? I formatted like how you've said but after installing everything the format changed to (NTFS)
Thank you!
I am not able to get any options in startup security utility. Its not showing anything how to get that?
@@nainagupta6277 This likely means that you have a Mac that doesn't have the new T2 feature. (like mine) All you have to do is skip that Recovery stuff step in the process. Once you've properly setup your SSD, restart the Mac and hold down the Option key when you see the Apple logo and the SSD with Windows 10 should pop up as a bootable drive when it asks you which drive you wish to boot from.

Do I always have to have my HDD plugged in when I want to boot into windows
Yep
The HDD is your windows hard drive in that situation. If you remove it, you're removing the brain and the computer will crash. You can also chose to install bootcamp on the internal drive if you don't want the external drive connected
Obviously
Get a load of this guy
Victor Lazaro Hi can you elaborate? There’s a way to have Windows running still even if you don’t have the HDD connected??
Loved the video, just one question, my external drive is 2 TB, can I still use my drive as a external drive to storage things and stuff and have a partition of the drive LIKE 500 gb for Windows?
