īoot Camp 6.0 added support for 64-bit versions of Windows 10. However, with the release of Boot Camp 5.0 for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in version 10.8.3, only 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 are officially supported. Boot Camp 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard version 10.6.6 up to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 only supported Windows 7. Previous versions of Boot Camp supported Windows XP and Windows Vista. Initially introduced as an unsupported beta for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, the utility was first introduced with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and has been included in subsequent versions of the operating system ever since. The utility also installs a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the default boot operating system. The utility guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ or APFS partition, if necessary) of their hard disk drive or solid-state drive and installation of Windows device drivers for the Apple hardware. I haven't yet tried using MacOS El Capitan (10.11) as said in the above Github post because backing things up, clean installing MacOS and then having to reinstall every 3rd party app is quite a pain in the 4ss.6.1.19 (29 August 2022 6 months ago ( 29 August 2022))īoot Camp Assistant is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.'s macOS (previously Mac OS X / OS X) that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. I've had to repartition and delete Windows entries manually multiple times because Apple's disk util is garbage. Same as the third method except that I followed a Github post (only partially given the commenters' suggestions ) to modify Bootcamp in order to make it fully support Windows 10 installation. This ultimately led to Windows 10 being installed fully but booting into a looping state

Same as above except it was directly from boot select.ĭirectly installing Win10 from a flash drive, while having disabled SIP and created a strictly GPT partition with GPT fdisk (given Apple's sh1tty implementation of their Hybrid MBR). Some say that it's precisely the use of an external ODD that is causing this issue. I couldn't even get past installing Win7 as its installer wouldn't load correctly and the mac boots to a black prompt screen. I used an external drive as the internal ODD wouldn't read discs properly.
