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/

Worked Flawlessly on my iMac 14,1 (Late 2013) , It had an SSD in it, I don't think windows would run well on the spinning rust drive. I resized the MacOS partition to make 80GB of space then created an ExFAT partition, and followed the instructions. However I did run bootcamp on windows because it has all the drivers I needed. It worked perfectly fixing Bluetooth and Sound. Thank You Verry Much. Going to do another machine now. Lastly Unlike MacOS Sequoia which runs very smoothly, on this machine. Windows is at times a bit slow, mostly when installing updates in the background, other times it works fine.

[@ryguyver]

Followed you instructions and everything was going great, up until the part in the setup process where Windows checks and installs updates. I believe I got the blue screen of death error message and then after a restart been stuck on a black screen with a “Just a moment…” spinner for quite a while. I’ve got Mojave/OpenCore on an SSD and the Windows installation on a Samsung NVMe with that same exact adapter you showed in another video. Not sure what’s up… maybe I’ll try on a spare SSD to se if it’s something with the NVMe. Thanks for all your great content, I’ve learned so much about upgrading my 5,1 from you!

[@ryguyver]

Posting an update in case helpful for anyone. I tried installing on a standard SSD which worked with no issues. I wiped the NVMe and tried again, but this time disconnected the computer from the internet. Setup proceed with no issues, and then I ran the available updates and still no issues. So, not entirely sure what’s up happened that first time but all seems to be ok now.

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.

Anyone else on a 2010 5,1 running Mojave and OpenCore LP having big problems getting Windows 11 to run? I have tried for days on end now to just get Windows 11 to run. The method works fantastic, really quick, convenient and simple, just Windows 11 from the linked tiny11 ISO just does not work. The number of stuck boots, WiFi issues and constantly forgetting BT mouse and keyboard simply makes this a nightmare and a colossal waste of time. I am giving Win 10 and if that doesn't work Win 8 another try but Win11 is just a nightmare to get to run on this cMP 5,1

Strange what GPU do you have, it’s running great for me.

[@dirksteffen9375]

@@MacSoundSolutions I have a RX 580 Sapphire Pulse PC GPU. It runs now fairly ok in Win10 but still has significant issues connecting to WiFi under Windows (no such issues under Mojave). I plan now to gradually upgrade it including looking for WiFi upgrade options and upgrading to the latest Mac OS to be in sync with my other Macs. perhaps along the way the Windows WiFi issues get solved that way.

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

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.

[@rlk54]

@@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.

Has anyone had issue with gtx 680. I have gotten into windows but crashes and I can’t change resolution , ( currently locked 4k) and when it crashes it reboots and attempts repair to windows and gpu fans 100% black screen

[@MacSoundSolutions]

check the driver in device manager if you can get that far.

[@SonLe-mr2id]

it says : wrong password... all the time! I've tried to change my admin password twice but not working. Anyone meets this?

[@Sergey_Galan]

Hello. For some reason, the program cannot write the password into the keychain and, accordingly, retrieve it from there. Try the legacy version of Windows Install 5.9.1, this version does not write the password to the keychain.
