Ultimate Windows install guide Mac Pro Trashcan 2024!

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Watch this part of the video first if you have issues using the app 15:12 You need to give "Windows Install" app permission to use it with System Preferences Privacy Security Settings. You may also need to give the app Full disk access in the Security settings, drag the app into that windows.

Nice... I trying this on a MacBook Pro and iMac 2008!

[@mdiaz0429]

Just letting you know that a few days after I saw your video installing Windows on your 5.1 I proceeded to install Windows on my MacPro 6.1 Trashcan on an external NVMI SSD. Worked great!!! Thanks for your videos!!!

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Nice so your booting off the external with your 6,1. Is it a thunderbolt or USB enclosure?

[@joecool2162]

One of the best, if not the best Windows 11 install video for MacPro 6,1! Really can not understand how you have less than 10K subs. It should be at least 100K, if not more. Thanks.

I don't have any mac, i don't care about music but your videos have a weird entertaining charm to it

[@artysanmobile]

Thank you for your excellent report on Sequoia. I, too, have 5,1 and 6,1 Macs and try to keep them exactly in sync. I look forward to checking the 6,1’s behavior with PCIe chassis for my Pro Tools HDX card. The 5,1 always handled this beautifully but I’m mobile and the cheese-graters lose some of their appeal every time I travel them.

[@Technocrat.]

Great video

Every once in a while, I feel such gratitude to the OCLP crew I imagine hand delivering a really nice 18 year old Macallan.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@artysanmobile they do take donations 🥃

@ I’m aware of that and have donated what I can but cash might not have the same meaning. The scotch is just a personal thing.

Hi. Very nice tutorial. Howto set default booting to MacOS. Just now it boots to W11. THX.

[@otterformosa2968]

How does it as compare to new AMD R7?

[@ivanjuarez1412]

I installed the packaged drivers including the gpu for mac pro 2013 and it installed just fine no issues, they are recognized by windows 11 and the amd software it installed by itself. I guess I’m lucky that way.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Thanks for posting, what version of the driver does it say in Device manager, just wondering if they are the latest AMD driver that bootcamp installed. When I did it while back using Rufus and I installed bootcamp drivers over the R5 driver it screwed up my system and I lost video and had to start over.

[@ivanjuarez1412]

Funny enough went to get the driver info and boot camp had driver updates for me. 😂😂 Anyway the drivers are. AMD FirePro D300 (FireGL v) Shows up twice for both GPU’s

[@InnerResilience-ql8xv]

Hello, The bootable Windows disk does not appear to me when I rebooted to start the installation process.can tou help please 😊

[@InnerResilience-ql8xv]

Hi Where can I find the AMD drivers for the 2013 iMac?? Thanks

[@GJOstudio]

Hi there, thanks so much for your great video's, i have a question, im following all steps in this video, however if i want to boot into Windows (holding the alt key) it just boots into macOS without giving the boot options. any idea what went wrong here?

[@claytonberg721]

dumb question, save for the video card drivers you could follow this same process on a 7,1? Thanks for the video.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@claytonberg721 yes you can, but it can be on its own drive you do t have to put it on the internal Mac OS ssd. You can put it on a NVMe in a PCIe card etc.

[@claytonberg721]

@@MacSoundSolutions Thank you.

[@danwyckoff8720]

By any chance have you tried to run any Steam apps over the Windows 11 install on the 6,1? Are the D700's capable of doing VR support?

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Yea I have done steam apps in Windows but I don’t have a vr to test.

[@Technocrat.]

Hey Lance here's a challenge, how to get 2020 iMAC 27" to run the Intel GPU on cpu die in windows. Both the 5700xt 16gb video card and integrated APU run in OSX, but not in Windows mode. How to get both working on win 11, sounds like a big challenge. As soon as Apple ends update support, my iMac will be a full time win 11 machine, already do use it in windows for gaming most of the time. The apu would boost encoding and decoding when needed.

[@Technocrat.]

When you install D300-700 drivers, will it auto update newer ones, or there won't be any lol.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@Technocrat. most likely won’t be any, updated 2021/2022 ain’t bad though considering.

[@stephencawker1565]

Lance,have you changed the cpu on the 6.1 yet?..ive change my cpu like 7 times!....lol.I think you should use the 2690 10 core lance,,thats my opinion,your line of work etc,,its really good,,its on my desk,Does your 6.1 have the 3.0 stock 1680 8 core?..thats the only cpu I don't own!....lmao.Mine came with 12 core..that 2.7 ghz cpu was Way!.to slow for me.....but the 10 core is freekin good!..I really liked telling the guys here about the 2687 3.4 ghz cpu, that everyone was worried about trying,,she's the bomb guys!..I can't believe this episode lLance!,doesn,t have like about 1,2 k hits etc,,but you just made it last week,Great videos Lance,,helped me a lot lately.get the 10 core Lance..and 128 gb OWC memory kit,,Your always using the 6.1 to test stuff, and do a lot of thing at the same time etc, Thats all today,,I promise...lol.Cheers lance!

[@coltonmoore466]

Hello @MacSoundSolutions another great video and I have now recently gotten a Mac Pro 6,1. I did the tiny 11 on my Mac Pro 5,1 without a hitch, but when I try on my Mac Pro 6,1 with either the regular windows iso, or the tiny 11 iso the windows install says it takes 5 seconds and it does not work at all. I have dragged windows install into the full disk access in security & privacy settings, restarted and tried again to no avail. I have even used the older version of windows install like in your video since the software was updated 18 hours ago. I have Open Core Legacy patcher on my Mac Pro 6,1. If you have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to thank you again for all the great videos you have on these old "Obsolete" machines. I watch pretty much all of them from you. Thanks!

Hi Lance, what kind of browser are you using? Something happened after last update of Sonoma (I'm using MS Edge) now there is an issue with it.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

In windows? I’m using Firefox, in Sequoia I had some issues with Safari and Chrome but in with 15.1 they all work. The last Sonoma update seemed to have some serious bugs, my computer was locking up 14.7 after being on for a while, but Windows did not so I updated up to Sequoia 15.1 and no issues so far.

[@TheDuckieNYC]

@ can you try in Mac OS Edge? I still have issues in the newest update that just came out. I wonder if it’s specifically to my system. When I try to start it is just red screen and nothing is happening for long time. It’s working but it takes forever to load, I also think it could be something with OCLP I didn’t have an issue before I patched. Maybe next version will fix this.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

@@TheDuckieNYC its Edge I tried it red screen etc, real pain in the ass to remove by the way, All my other browsers work, I had the same red screen with Chrome until they updated it so looks like Microsoft needs to up date. Works fine in Windows fyi on my 6,1

@ thanks Lance!

For some reason when I try this method, everything seems to be going good and during half way through the setup my video card goes dark and stays dark. Even trying to reboot it stays dark with no picture for some reason. Any thoughts as to whats happening? It's a MP 5,1 with a AMD Radeon R9 280X video card. Also used the Tiny11 downloaded file.

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Are you using opencore? you need it for UEFI install of Windows I believe. I am using HDMI port so it could be you are on one of the other ports and until you get the correct driver installed you might not be getting video out of your other ports.

@@MacSoundSolutions I'm using OpenCore.I'm also using HDMI out on my video card. So I'm guessing don't use the HDMI out and use the DVI output and it maybe able to get a video signal out?
