I tried installing Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro 2012, initially it was not installing, then I wiped my hard drive. And then installed Windows 10, after that 1. Audio is not working. 2. Thunderbolt to HDMI is not working. 3. Card Reader not working. But all these works on mac os, if you have any solution for the sound, Card reader and thunderbolt, kindly provide any solution or driver. Windows works very well, very smooth and heating is there. I did the thermal paste.

[@yassinnn_n]

sound doesn't work (high defintion audio controller) any solution ?

[@Ytpremium3M-g6k]

What is the bootcamp version Installed ?

[@Chieflotsadoe]

so its not a good idea to use the old hardrive and install windows on it?

[@thomasjcox]

Hey your computer seems pretty fast. Does your MacBook overheat? Did you re paste the heat sink?

[@sunillovemaker]

Did u tried using boot camp assistance with both the driver inside may be u would have got hard drive selection in boot camp while installing. For example - now u got single drive in boot camp with 50/50 options but with both the drive inside may be u would have got 2 drive for selection and u can choose the second drive

[@kamogelocalvin6919]

after installing windows 10 on my MacBook ,I can install any windows programme like Microsoft office and others?

[@batatacity]

Easily yes

[@trus_stories]

After its all done so we have to connect the drive there forever or can we remove it and format now and put it back to its use

[@JayDot60]

can yu use wifi with it?

[@edwardnjuguna2673]

is it normal for it to take its timee only displaying the windows icon?

[@KKProduction876]

[@smpalihsancimencrang-labkom]

how make bootable for usb windows? using rufus?

[@FamilyGeekery]

I usually use the Microsoft Windows boot disk creator on a windows machine. But you can also use Disk Manager on a Mac.

[@keanunugrahaandries6020]

um excuse me sir i wanna ask, why is my macbook just showing blink cursor for an hour after install? it take to long so i just restart my mac use option+command+p+r, and im going to install windows again. i scared it will be happened again

[@mshayanarshad632]

Sir , the Window i install in Macbook , is it available for life time , , or just for time , e.g 15 days or only for Month ..?

[@FamilyGeekery]

If you’re asking about activation, just search for Windows activation keys. You can buy them online for not too much money. Then you’ll have it for lifetime.

[@tapiwachiteza1193]

Thanks, your video helped me a lot

[@FamilyGeekery]

You’re welcome!

[@rynechia]

Do I need a Ethernet cable to connect to the wifi 😢

[@FamilyGeekery]

No, you don’t need an Ethernet to connect to Wi-Fi. I just happen to have an Ethernet cable in my office so I use it some times to speed things up.

[@rynechia]

@@FamilyGeekery it’s only giving me that option. My wifi not showing up at all.

[@rynechia]

So I been doing a lot of research and all I’m getting is I didn’t download the windows driver. Do you know how to do that

[@laurencejohnson4106]

You got there!👍👍

[@AimCrox]

Best machine for red hat

[@monaskineto]

Muito obrigado! 🍺👏🏻

[@joaoconceicao6856]

How do I boot the pendrive with Windows??

[@FamilyGeekery]

Hold down the option key when booting. It should come up with an option to select which drive to continue booting.
