Install Windows 10 UEFI & Dual Boot OCLP Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey or Big Sur!!!

[@Mr.Macintosh]

You guys have been asking for this video for a long time! Sorry for the delay, I underestimated how many issues I would have when I started testing! This video is the first of 2 videos. This one is for UEFI and the 2nd video will be for installing WIndows 10 via Legacy / BIOS. This way might be more compatible if you have issues installing UEFI. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@jean-philipperobert7657]

Thank you thank you thank you ! This process is a lot trickier than I suspected as there are subtleties during the install than can derail the whole process (I learned the hard way !). Looking forward to the next videos on this series !

[@vertabraille3709]

Hey, I just wanted to say that you’re videos/walkthroughs, and seemingly unlimited effort to stay up to date and help anyone with questions is amazing. To me personally(and I’m sure countless others), you are EXTREMELY appreciated. Thank you so much.

[@jean-philipperobert7657]

Ouch ! I just updated the 2 old 2012 I'm offering my boys for X-Mas and I keep getting BSODs. I'm now trying both versions of the 2015 Intel 4000HD Driver (1 on each Macbboks 2012) just to see if it makes a difference...

[@jean-philipperobert7657]

Also on an unrelated issue to the Win 10 dual boot. I lost DVD playback functionality on the Macbooks 2012 after going to OCLP Montrerey. I first thought that the drive had crapped out. Through troubleshooting with the other MBP I realized it is Monterey. I reverted to Big Sur, hoping this will be be adressed by the community.

@@k0ns0le78 I had that same issue on my 2012 9,1. I fixed it by using a DVD image of Windows 10 downloaded by the Creatinstallmedia executable on another windows machine, then just popped the disc into my Mac and it actually worked. You have a retina without the disc drive tho so you'd have to get an external one.

Then I tried these steps on MacBook Pro 8,2 (Early 2011). I followed all steps, but I get the "Windows Can only be installed to GPT disks" (14:50 in your video) How do I fix this issue, I did format in ExFat before and have tried selecting Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro.

[@francoisguyot9770]

Mr Macintosh, you rock !!! I successfully installed OCLP EFI, Ventura and Windows 10 on my mid 2015 MacBook AIr. I was using the same OCLP that I created for my iMac and that kept crashing windows installation. I thought it was the format GPT or NTFS... NO it was the fact that each OCLP is tailored to the machine it is installing on. So I just dumped the Win10 iso in the download and installed it straight from there to my BootCamp partition, skipping the unneeded USB Boot creation. It's NOT required!. Now I want to install Linux Mint 21.2 and perhaps switch to windows 11 if it's legal, worthy and as straightforward as Windows 10...But BootCamp wont let me shrink the partition it created for Windows. The only option it gives me is to delete to restore that space to Ventura. Can I just use the disk management within Windows 10 to shrink the partition and then install linux into that freed up space? How will it affect the EFI competition? If it works, is there a way to show only the 3 OS option at start up and use your Control key press to prioritize the one I'm mostly using at the time? I also noticed that some people affix specific icons to select between the 3 EFIs...Did you cover that somewhere along? Is that something easy to do? I was wondering if Time Machine will make a backup of the BootCamp- Win10 partition as well as Ventura.... Anyways, thanks so much for your effort.

[@ehshanulaminkhan1545]

I'm glad the video was helpful in installing Windows 10 on my early 2011 Macbook Pro 8.1. It's always great to have a detailed step-by-step process to follow, and it's even better when you can get some additional input from other people. As for Windows 11, it might be a good idea to wait until I see a reliable guide before attempting to install it. In the meantime, I shall enjoy using Windows 10 on my MacBook Pro! Has anyone been able to successfully install Windows 11 on a MacBook Pro from early 2011? It would be great if you could share your process and any tips, so the rest of us can also install it on our MacBooks. Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.

This apparently was a driver issue, and unrelated to UEFI I believe

[@thyssenFILMS]

I also installed windows 11 on my 2008 Macbook4,1 by firstly getting win 7, then upgrading to win 10, then editing a DLL so that I bypass the TPM and UEFI secureboot requirements. I got BSODs within 30 seconds of login, so you have to go into the drivers folder under System32 and rename MacHalDriver.sys to a .bak file. Then I stopped getting BSODs. Dunno if this is required for every Mac model, just a quick note.

For now, I've redone it in legacy but then opencore doesn't see it and you have to hold down option to pick windows.

The installation process of windows doesnt start on my MacbookPro Mid 2014 (11,3). After the windows logo I see a blank, blue screen without any installation dialogue. How can I fix it?

Hello Mr. Macintosh, I have a late 2013 iMac and I would like to install Windows 11. Any ETAs yet?

[@kn8u]

I thought all was well but then windows crashed and went to the blue screen saying windows ran into an error. Can't log into windows since then.

[@melvinmadera4755]

can you please make a video of installing windows 11 on a mac monterey with oclp please thanks

[@gwilliams542]

I enjoy your video they are very informative. How about a video on how to install macOS Monterey update without your original Apple SSD. I know there are a few thousand of us that cant updated to Monterey because we installed a third party SSD.

[@Mr.Macintosh]

Thank you! Are you talking about the firmware error message when installing Monterey when you have a 3rd party HD installed?

[@gwilliams542]

@@Mr.Macintosh Yes you cannot update to Monterey because firmware will not allow newer version on third party ssd. Apple is blocking the EFI update. you need greater than 194.x.x.x.x

[@superlativo4420]

Hi Mr. Macintosh! Isn't this possible on a Mac Pro 2010? Thanks in advance

[@BarneyBorovoski]

Thanks for the video, but i can pass trough the message “Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can be only installed to GPT disks” any ideas on how to proceed? tks

Go back into macOS and reformat your boot camp drove to macOS extended journaled then delete it in the windows install

Cool thing for this way is also that you can use Parallels to access Bootcamp Windows under Mac directly as well without restarting. But one question, how to start the mac in recovery mode with OCLP? Tried so many times, never could make it on the correct timing it seems. The Bootcamp Partition will not show up in "Startup Disk" app?

I have a mac mini 6,2 and its on GPT table but windows 10 installer says. Cant be installed because the drive is MBR but i keep going back to mac and it says GPT. I want to dual boot on the same SSD

[@aawheaton]

We are eager to see your video on how to install Windows 11 on unsupported devices (e.g., Mac mini 6,2) along with macOS Monterey. When I install Windows 11 via Boot Camp, I am not able to format the target disk within the Windows 11 installation process:

[@Lentrail]

Can I do this on my hackintosh laptop with Monterey?

[@anselmocristovfalandocomom7775]

Have I to restart before bootcamp finish the process?

[@jonlinieltabura2239]

[@jailbreakhat1890]

Does this support 2009 and 2010 macs?

[@Mr.Macintosh]

Hello, a UEFI install of Windows 10 only supports 2011-2015+ Macs. I am working on a video now that will show you how to install Windows 10 via Legacy BIOS / MBR. This will support 2008-2014 Macs 👍

[@Lesparta]

I have a late 2011 13" MBP which has dual boot for High Sierra and Monterey, is it better to install Windows 10 through bootcamp from High Sierra or from Monterey? EDIT: Bootcamp Assistant on my High Sierra would not work at all, it just crashes after I click "Continue" on the first page. It occurred only after I had partition the disk and installed Monterey in it, so I am guessing it has something to do with that. I'm wondering if adding another SSD (replace CD drive) just for the Monterey will solve that issue?

[@FlexJRPlayz]

Mr. Macintosh can you make one for a mac running on dos dude1's patcher (High Sierra)

[@HasanTareq]

What about windows 11? same process? just change the iso?

[@robertmatrai2189]

So someone mentioned this here earlier, this only worked on a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro if you formated the BOOTCAMP partition to MacOS extended Journaled not Exfat and when you get into the Windows Installer delete the partition and create a new one from there installation was a breeze

[@Goobelham]

Thanks. This is what did the trick for my pre-2013 MacBook pro (8,2). Exfat partition was still detected by the windows installer as an mbr partition. My main Macintosh HD is APFS, so maybe some of that container gunk was happening that I was unaware about.

[@VladislavBaglai]

Thanks! The only way Windows 10 setup allowed me to install it on Early-2011 MacBook Pro. Format BOOTCAMP partition to MacOS Extended (journaled) in MacOS, delete this partition in Windows Setup ("Delete" button) and then select "Unallocated space".

[@jttasb]

For the "2nd section", the OP never shows how he got to disk utility. EFI OCLP into MacOS hangs 10% in, so cannot get to Disk Utility from there. It appears to hang, I only waited a few minutes but there was no increase in the progress bar. And if Cmd+R to boot into recovery mode to get Disk Utility, clicking BOOTCAMP drive and trying to erase to ExFAT gives the following message "Disk Erase failed. Disk Erase failed with the error: The given file system is not supported on Core Storage." (2012 15inch unibody)

[@jttasb]

@@VladislavBaglai When you did this, in Disk Utility, had MacOS already renamed the bootcamp folder "Untitled" when you formatted it MacOS Extended (Journaled)?

[@syeds8314]

My Mac Mini 2014 has Sonoma installed through OCLP. I was following these instructions and it turns out I had to format the drive to NTFS which is meant for Windows 10 with MS Command Prompt. I did it by pressing Shift+f10 while installing Windows 10.

[@hsfreethinkers]

Thanks! I'm having an issue where my USB2.0 16GB flash drives aren't showing up in Bootcamp Assistant as a destination to create the install disk. I tried using disk utility to erase as exFAT and FAT with MBR. Only my Samsung T5 SSD shows up as an option, but that's my Macintosh HD! Running OCLP on a 2012 Macmini6,2 Edit: I'm running macOS from an external SSD (and trying to install Bootcamp to another external SSD) possibly that has something to do with it.

[@ldtworks1052]

The 2012 Macs seem to be very troublesome based on the comments The main issues are: 1.Blue Screen after installation when booting into windows 2. The format issue thing I have found what I think is a fix for problem number 2, which is by deleting the partition and manually adding the partition back and then formatting it as exfact/msdos. I can't seem to fix problem number one that is blue screen

[@appletopic]

Thanks! OMG look i have a mid 2012 macbook pro retina and i have the formatting problem. I did the formatting to ex fat in macos and then formatting in windows installer but it still won't work.

I want to try your fix but how? Do i erase the partition in window indtaler or back in macos? If its not to much to ask could you tell me how to delete and manually add the partition?
