It's Never Been Easier! Install Windows in Mac OS! No BootCamp required.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

There are issues with 24H2 build so stay away from using the Microsoft Wndows 11.iso for now, hopfully they will fix the issue. It's a good idea to pause auto updates in Windows for now once the install is complete. The tiny11 build I used is based off of 23H2 so no probs. article here www.windowslatest.com/2024/10/15/windows-11-24h2-causing-bsods-microsoft-will-reportedly-halt-update-for-more-pcs/

Your other video helped me a lot as now I have audio too :) These videos of yours are really nice and inspiring to start playing with these old Macs again. One tip as you are into gaming on Windows. When the Trashcan was new I used a mid spec version from new for about 4 years as a daily gaming computer. It had the dual D500 GPUs. I ran a 1080 triple screen setup on it and ran natively Windows 8 on it. I used hacked AMD GPU drivers on it and used several apps having both GPUs overclocked massively. Without any hardware mods I ran this setup with heavily overclocked GPUs to run racing sims (Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom, …) and it ran completely rock solid without any issues. The trashcan was a great machine and I am sad Apple stopped that route of having a very compact, highly capable machine that was still upgradable.

I am having problems running Windows Install, when I try to run it I get this message: Apple could not verify “Windows Install” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. What should I do after the install? I do copy it from download to applications.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Windows install is a Mac OS app. Have you read the directions? As you can see in the video I am using it in Mac OS you have to grant permission for Mac OS to use the app in security preferences when you first launch it.

@@MacSoundSolutions Ahh. How do I do that? I am still fairly new to Mac, though successfully put Sonoma and later Sequoia on it. Found it in google. Thank you very much.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@rlk54 try to launch the app then go to system preferences and privacy settings scroll near the bottom and there should be a message “the app windows install needs to be approved or is not a approved app, quit the app and hit approve or open anyway, not in front of my computer at the moment, but basically you have to give the app permission to run in the system, privacy / security settings once you approve it the. It’s good to go you won’t have to do it again.

@@MacSoundSolutions I managed to get this far. Only stuck now on the Admin Password. I thought it was just the same as the login password when I start the computer.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@rlk54 The user must be an administrator and the password must be from the administrator. If the User is standard, then no password works, not for the user, not for the administrator.

I’ve try this method on my mac pro 3.1 but it keeps showing bsod acpi bios error, any idea what happen? Thanks before..

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Try "install legacy boot" in the dropdown menu. You may need to go with Windows 10

[@StarbucksPaskal23]

⁠@@MacSoundSolutionswaw thanks for the reply, really appreciate it. Its the same case with windows 10, how do i install legacy boot? Im currently having mac os sonoma on my 3.1 and i really want to have windows also on my 3,1 thank you very much..

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@StarbucksPaskal23 look at the pop up menu in the app where it say EUFI it’s under that

[@StarbucksPaskal23]

⁠@@MacSoundSolutionsim sorry for my stupidity, but which app you mean?

[@StarbucksPaskal23]

[@wayetthenkevargas6105]

ya think i can do this on a 2019 macbook pro 16 inch ?

[@Sergey_Galan]

Yes, it's possible. Only if you do not use OpenCore do not enable “Deactivate Windows ESP”

[@wayetthenkevargas6105]
