There’s not much headache on your side at this point. Well, the last one might be hard for you to realize because I already written this guide for you to follow. Over this whole process, you’ll learn how to manage drives using DISKPART, install Windows using DISM in command prompt, and how difficult it is to work around Apple’s kernel for Macs. We’ll be using Terminal on macOS and Command Prompt on Windows. GUI installers are pretty convenient, huh? Well, we won’t be using those in this guide. This guide is geared towards UEFI Macs which are models from 2013 and above. Granted, you might have to do some additional steps for pre-UEFI systems but we won’t be doing that here. I’ve tested this on pre-UEFI and UEFI Macs, and it has been working great. If you have extra storage, might as well use Boot Camp to avoid the hassle. So, we’ll be going around that restriction just like how you install Windows on normal PCs. Boot Camp doesn’t allow you to install Windows on an external drive. I’m pretty sure you’ve already figured out why. There’s really not much room there for Windows.īoot Camp is Apple’s way of letting users get Windows on their devices. And if you’re human, 70% of that is already filled with files. Most entry-level Macs only have 128GB of storage. My method addresses the issue on storage. There are a lot of ways to do this but this method provides more control over the installation process. As per the title, we’ll be installing Windows 10. At this point, I can either work on Windows 10 or Ubuntu (or whatever Linux distro you can think of). Unfortunately, I can’t get SASM to work natively on macOS Catalina for my computer architecture course.
