Thanks for your help!</div><div></div><div></div><div>Officially, the earliest Macintosh models that support Windows 8 are the mid-2011 MacBook Air, 13-inch-mid-2011 or 15 and 17-inch-mid-2010 MacBook Pro(except 13" mid-2010), mid-2011 Mac Mini, 21-inch-mid-2011 or 27-inch-mid-2010 iMac(except the 21.5" mid-2010), and early 2009 Mac Pro.[15][16] By running the Boot Camp assistant with a compatible version of Microsoft Windows setup disc in the drive and switching to a Windows 8 disc when Mac OS X reboots the machine to begin installing Windows, Windows 8 can be installed on older unsupported hardware.[citation needed] This can also work with Windows 10. Pre-2011 Intel Macs would unofficially run later versions of Windows (Windows 8 through Windows 10).</div><div></div><div></div><div>I am having the same issue with moving a Windows 10 installation I initially setup about 1.5 years ago on a 2018 MBP 15" to a new MBP 16". Mostly worked fine but some obvious driver issues, like the trackpad not showing up in the bootcamp control panel to allow the setting of a right click function.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>flow3124 had a good idea of uninstalling and reinstalling from a fresh copy of bootcamp setup.exe, but I was hoping to avoid mucking around in the registry. Is there a way to remove bootcamp without resorting to crawling the registry to reinstall a clean version?</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have just finished a fresh boot camp install on a MacBook Pro 16" installing Win10 on an external m.2 SSD and ran into the same issue of the trackpad not showing up in the boot camp control panel. The trackpad works as I can move the curser around and left click. But there is no right click and as there is no way of accessing the trackpad settings in the boot camp control panel I cannot resolve this.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Greetings. I am in the process of trying to get windows 7 onto my MacBPro, running 10.9.4. I have purchased Windows 7, downloaded it & have an .iso file.</div><div></div><div>I followed the instructions in bootcamp(gotten all proper windows updates) and utilized your bit of code to get bootcamp to create a bootable disc from the iso file and put it on a USB, which it does successfully. When I proceed to partition my drive through bootcamp, it stops me & says there is no bootable disc detected, pls install disc.</div><div></div><div>Through my research I have also installed rEFIt and using disk utility partitioned my drive and bypass bootcamp. When I start my mac, I get the rEFIt option to install windows from my USB, but in doing so it cannot find the BOOTMGR file.</div><div></div><div>Any assistance would be greatly appreciated</div><div></div><div>Ira</div><div></div><div></div><div>Hi. I already downloaded windows 8.1 (64-bit). And was in the process of making a bootable usb with the boot camp assistant but it prompts me with this message: Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation. I have a Macbook Air 10.9.2-early 2014.

On my PC when I went to this website and clicked create media installation, I chose ISO file and saved that ISO to my flashdrive, which I then plugged into my iMac so I could use that ISO in Bootcamp. Everything installed except the bootcamp drivers never came up during the installation so I cant connect to the internet while in windows 8.1. Was I not supposed to create an ISO file?</div><div></div><div></div><div>HI Bladimir Hernandez</div><div></div><div>Basically no. You need to make sure you select the correct size when you create the Windows partition first up. There is some 3rd party tools that may do this. However this is not something that I will help people with.</div><div></div><div>If you want to resize the partition properly I suggest removing the boot camp partition and reinstalling the Windows all over again.</div><div></div><div>How to Remove Boot Camp Partition</div><div></div><div>Make sure you do a back up of your Windows data before you try this.</div><div></div><div>Cheers</div><div></div><div>Matt</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have a couple of questions.

I bought an Apple iMac from 2010 but Apple only gives the bootcamp assistant for Windows 7 and not for Windows 10.</div><div></div><div>The W7 Bootcamp drivers do not work with W10.</div><div></div><div></div><div>From what I can see, the only way is to erase the entire HD then re-install OS X, then re-do the boot camp process...which is just insane. Not sure why it disallows you from erasing the Boot Camp Partition and re-creating a new one...</div><div></div><div></div><div>Sometimes when you go through bootcamp to install windows it will actually change your "Windows Partition" to the selected startup disk. Go into setting, select start up disc make sure your Mac OSX partition is selected and then restart your computer. GO back into bootcamp and it should run the utility to reverse the windows partition, so you can start all over.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Windows boots from the OSXRESERVED and shows the available editions of Windows from the install.wim file in the support folder on OSXRESERVED. This is a large file (usually around 4 GB). The install.wim contains all of the files for a vanilla copy of Windows 10 and is the largest file in the installer ISO.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Alternatively, launch bootcamp-filename\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi as Administrator - for instance by starting it directly from an Administrator command shell - this skips the BootCamp model check entirely:</div><div></div><div></div><div>Surely a stupid question, please forgive me: To get an actual dual boot menu (w/o using the option key) on system startup one still needs bootcamp installed on whatever MacOS is running, I assume? After successful Windows 10 installation the only way to boot MacOS is the option key? Without doing that the iMac will start whichever OS that was last chosen by default, right? Thanks</div><div></div><div></div><div>As others have pointed out make sure there are no quotes around the bootcamp.vmdk and also ejecting the disk before and after. It took me two iterations as the first one was with the quotes and that did not work. The second time all went well. Again I updated the Apple Bootcamp software twice and everything works.</div><div></div><div></div><div>just create a win2go on the ext drive download the bootcamp stuff on a seperate drive boot the win2go and then install the boot camp support file you will need to have a ethernet cable or just hotspot your phone as a usb tether and everything works just fine did it the other day works perfect</div><div></div><div></div><div>I have run into a snag, and am not sure how to resolve it. When I get to the step of selecting the bootcamp.vmdk file as the existing hard disk file to use, it gives me this error message.</div><div></div><div>Failed to open the disk image file /Users/macuser/bootcamp.vmdk.</div><div></div><div></div><div>When you hold the option key during boot, you should see all drives capable of booting. If you have both an internal bootcamp partition and an external bootcamp drive, you should see both as well as the Mac OS partition. If you are not seeing the external EFI drive then it is not bootable and something is wrong with it.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Are you sure? If you cloned the internal bootcamp partition to the external drive, it will look the same until you make some changes to it, like installing additional applications or UI personalizations. You can also easily tell by opening Windows Disk Manager.</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
