I managed to find out why windows 11 will not boot loop (blue screen of death). It is due to the integrated HD graphics. Simply find the hardware ID's of your integrated graphics and forbid updating them in windows and also delete the drivers from your bootcamp flash drive and you will be good to go. Already did it on a few laptops and iMacs. Works like a charm. Hope this helps :)

When you reach the point that win setup asks for internet, you can open cmd (Shift and F10) and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO . Win setup will restart but when you reach again the point asking for internet you will have a new option to bypass internet.

Hi Jessie, do you think it's possible to install Win 11 on a Mac Pro 5.1? I followed the first steps of your guide, and tried to install Win on a dedicated hard disk, overcome the block with the Regedit trick, but when I have to choose the hard disk it doesn't recognize it as suitable, I try to delete and format, but nothing changes, I'm stuck there. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[@JessiesFlying]

There are a lot of tutorials out there for that, it depends on the way you install it (UEFI or legacy)

[@domenicob.8844]

it's true, but they are all confusing and none of them have the tranquility and patience that you demonstrate in your guides. In any case, if you could point me to one that is more valid for you, I would be grateful. UEFI or Legacy it's the same, the important thing is that they work on my Mac Pro.

Nice to know I am not the only one who goes through these hassles getting Windows onto old Macs. I will say, for these OLD machines, I have to start with Windows 7! And, you start with the old DMG files from Apple for the BootCamp drivers. The BCA downloads do not work with ancient hardware in my experience. I currently run Windows 10Pro 64bit on MacPro 2,1 3,1 4,1 and 5,1 as well as on various old iMacs and and MacBookPros. All 2012 or older. The first machine I had success with a direct install of Windows 10 in BootCamp was a MacPro 6,1 (2013). That was the easiest install yet for Windows. HOWEVER it took me a few days to realize the instability in Windows 10 I was experiencing was because Apple never updated their drivers for the 2013 MacPro graphics card. Apple Software Update in Windows says no new software. A trip out to AMD and I found newer drivers and poof! random crash reboot was solved. I hope MS changes their tune. My MacPros are super powerful and do what we need. No need for new PCs.

Actually it seems like it is possible to install windows 11 on ventura bootcamp in MBR mode by using the originally created Hybrid partition from bootcamp without altering it in any way ... works on my mac mini late 2012 ... no bluescreens or other issues. You just have to boot the USB installer from the Mac firmware bootloader (dont try from OCLP boot menu) ... upon istall comes a blue Screen telling you that you have no network connection ... press Alt+F10 go to drive d: (usb stick) and start the setup of bootcamp via the command line upon completion your windows 11 install Successfully can be completed and you have a fully functional windows 11 installation on late 2012 Ivy bridge hardware

I've installed clean Win10/11 in legacy mode (EFI always makes BSOD) without the bootcamp and MacOS (it was a clean drive), installed the drivers separatelly via Device manager and unpacked BootCamp drivers (not via the setup.exe, because it will make BSOD, but extracted each archive and updated the devices 1 by 1), and everything works like a charm. It works on Macbook 2007 and up.

15:38 I don't think it's because of EFI, but the HD 4000 integrated graphics. It looks like Intel HD 4000 on Windows doesn't seem to have drivers for OS installed in UEFI mode. because I also experienced the same thing as you if I directly make Windows 10 bootable & Disk from my bootcamp in Ventura 13.6.1 OCLP (even if i use the Intel HD 4000 latest driver from Intel, not from the bootcamp setup). But if I make it from OS X El Capitan, there are no problems and Windows 10 installation run smoothly (cuz OS X El Capitan make the bootable as MBR and the disk as Hybrid MBR, meaning Windows is running in Legacy Mode aka BIOS).

Now I am trying to do this using your method and. Hatching the registry. But it just papas the CPU requirements. Still gives me error for TPM and secure Boot replacements. Any solution for it? Thanks

[@JessiesFlying]

check my video, there are 3 (or 4) registry entries for all of these requirements!

[@hardcorehakon]

when I open boot camp I do not have the blue ticked box that says create windows 10 or later install disc, there is nothing there, only the other 2 options are available, what do I do to fix this? I am trying this on Mac OS High Sierra with a 5,1 Mac Pro.

[@JessiesFlying]

it might be that High Sierra only allows Windows 7 or 8.1 maybe....

[@hardcorehakon]

@@JessiesFlying I found the solution, from another KZbinr, you copy bootcamp to somewhere (desktop) open up one of the files with text edit and delete the Mac pro 5,1 entry from the boot from cd only and non windows 10 entries, and tada, it works.

@@hardcorehakon great tip, thx!

Right I went through this nonsense with a Mac Mini 2012 and a second crucial SSD - after spending about 100 hours messing around with Rescuezilla (gdisk, gpart/ed etc) and Diskpart - I ruled everything out but the cable or disk - I did get as far as installing W8 from CD and upgrade in-place to W10 after watching this video but I wasn't satisfied.. Swapped out the disk for newer SSD (Transcend or Bilksem seem to play well) and was able to install Rufus-modified (e.g. turn off TPM etc) Windows 11 directly.

[@rossgeography]

W10 will be supported until mid-2025 afaik, so you have some time

[@rossgeography]

it gets weirder still... not having any problem installing on the transcend disk and also being frustrated that windows-to-go had worked via USB on the crucial; i decided to clone the transcend disk as there only seemed to be an issue with the Windows 10/11 installer for the Crucial, Ubuntu and MacOS installed in gpt mode fine, the crucial disk works - so there is some esoteric problems with the Windows installer, certain disks and machines that use (UEFI_ Compatibility Support Module.. very annoying - esp as it's a firmware issue and you can''t get updates for certain Crucial disks.

I installed Win11 on an external ssd on my mac mini 2014 (running Ventura with opencore) using Wintousb. Since it bypasses TPM & secure boot requirements i see no reason why not to be able to do the same with any older Mac. NOTE: i use the bootcamp drivers from Apple for my mac mini 2014 - using another Mac means that you will have to download the bootcamp drivers for that specific Mac. (In addition i have also installed MX Linux in a second partition on the same external ssd...)

​ @JessiesFlying Just wanted to give you an update - surprisingly there was a shockingly easier way to do this. I found another video from a youtuber called 'MacintoshMen' the video is also called 'Windows 11 Install On 2011 Macbook Pro' this fellow found that using bootcamp to setup the configuration is a mistake for some reason (lol) he just partitioned the drive using the disk utility and then made the bootable usb using RUFUS on a windows machine. I tried it on my 2011 and it worked right out of the box!?!?! - i didn't even want windows 11 on there only windows 10 but using the same method the windows 10 would not even get to the setup properly. The fellow also provided the drivers from a bootcamp rip i think and that almost worked perfectly except the audio driver was not working properly, bluetooth worked, so i just stick with that. Bootup time is crazy fast and i couldn't be happier. I wish i could test this on other macbooks as well but just thought i would give you an update in case you intended to do another windows 11 dual boot video. Btw i could not figure out how you even started from windows 7 as i could not get the iso anymore for that one and bootcamp on latest macos would not let be go back that far - this is why i even searched for this gentlemans video in the first place - otherwise, i would have followed your w7 - win11 upgrade path Anyhow, thanks for the discord link and as always, thanks for your hard work!

[@JessiesFlying]

Thx for the details! 🚀

@@JessiesFlying and for my last update on this (lol) i got the drivers sorted out very swiftly by using a very handy app someone recommended on github * Bombardier by ninxsoft * A mac utility that finds and extract all bootcamp drivers based on your mac model - very handy and i was able to get all drrivers automatically. Thats it from me, i take muy bow :)

oh man i got a bit discouraged i thought it would be easier . I'm thinking of getting a 2012 model because of old app compatibility .
