2012 MacBook Pro Upgrade Pt. 2 - Adding Windows to a 2nd Drive

[@storungz]

As I am sure you are busy with many other videos, I suppose there has yet to be a third to this project yes? Perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing here what your thoughts were on Part 3, as I am very curious given my own present circumstances I explained in a reply to DELLsFan below. You have some very clever ideas! Thank you in advance-Cheers!

Sorry it wasn’t easier to find. Here it is: Dual Boot Setup with Windows on a 2012 MacBook Pro using BootCamp kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3vHpIGOqriFgM0

Came to ask the same question 👍

Thanks mate, stay safe.

Nice video tutorial,is your windows 10 o.s still runs on your mac this time? If it does ill try it on my mac

[@blind_judiciary]

Probably you can use second ssd as an external OS. I'm pretty confident that it will work, as I saw a guy do it

[@WalterPetrovic]

If you have Win10 on another computer, could you clone that onto an sdd that you will replace in the optical drive, and have the dual boot happen with that?

[@blind_judiciary]

No, it won't work

[@DELLsFan]

Hey! New here. Where's part 3?

[@storungz]

I have the EXACT same question. haha Just acquired one of these randomly which is how I found your part 1 and in the process of bidding on those parts, along with a new battery. This Part 2 though was very interesting and a very clever idea, so I'm greatly interested in your other ideas for Part 3. As a side note: I did install OCLP and am running Ventura. I too needed Windows, so I set about installing via Bootcamp. I didn't realize that this process becomes rather convoluted due to OCLP. Given my model has the SuperDrive, I cannot install via a USB, instead I'm having to burn a DVD of an archived version of Windows 10. This archived version (1803) is the last release to fit completely on a single DVD. Basically something that should have taken a day has taken 3 going on 4, mainly because the DVD-Rs I thought I had, are actually stupid CD-Rs... like almost an entire spindle of 100... complete waste, junk, and I moved those damn things 3 times now with the first move back in 2011!! The whole time I'm thinking they are DVD-Rs. lol They probably have disc rot by now anyway. lol So I'm off now to my local Walmart to buy some DVDs.

To the max

No1 mistake putting windows on a Mac... your Mac got revenge on you. I have a second drive in mine as extra storage. Its more fun installing Ventura with OCLP 05.1

[@FamilyGeekery]

True, but some people have a genuine need to run both OS’s on a single machine (without the hassle of VMs). And yes, OCLP is on my to-do list. Videos coming eventually…. Thanks as always for watching and providing input, Mike!

@@FamilyGeekery What you need is a good second hand Thinkpad for windows.

Nice video but you should really cut your nails next time 😅

Dang! You caught me. I try to keep them short, but they keep growing! Thanks for watching!
