Get "Create a Windows 7 install disk" option on BootCamp assistant
Ғылым және технология
If you have an old Mac computer model and you tried to create a Windows 7 or later installer disc and you realised that you can't because the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" option on BootCamp assistant is missing, then you came to the right place! Unfortunately, if you are running a new version of Mac OS X, then Bootcamp assistant lacks the first option. However, with this trick on the video, you can get it back, create the windows installer disk and install Windows OS on any computer!

Hello! Im trying to download windows 10 on my computer but the "Select Tasks" option is still thee and I can get rid of it. Is there any way to get rid of it or should I get a newer computer?
Normally I don't even sign in to youtube if I don't have to, but here I am to thank you man. Not just it helped me but for being so very specific about every issue on this WIN on MAC stuff. May be worth nothing but you earned my respect. Wish you the best.
Ooh gosh, I had been finding this for so long and was led here by your other videos. Thanks so much! My school doesn't support mac and using softwares for Windows...
Exactly what I needed, great tutorial man. Thank you so much.
still helping people in 2023!. Thanks.
Worked perfectly on Sierra High. Big thumbs up!
This is awesome, thanks! The part where DARomVersion isn't necessary in my case. I couldn't find it on the .plist but I thought forget about it and tried BootCamp again and it worked!

Thanks!!! I had the same problem.
I'm looking for support for this since yesterday. THANK YOU! God bless you :)
Thanks! The .plist file is just an XML text file that you can edit with TextEdit or any other text editor. No need to mess around with Xcode if you don't already have it. Also, no need to disable system integrity checking for this, since it's not an executable file. "Boot Camp Assistant 6.1.0, Copyright © 2018" that came with Mojave refused to run for me, saying my 2010 Mac Pro wasn't supported. Yet, I can run the "Boot Camp Assistant 6.1.0, Copyright © 2016" that came with Sierra - under Mojave! Identical version numbers, but different copyright dates and a lot of changed contents.
Thank you very much for very clear explanations. You made it very easy. I've been looking for solutions since 3 days and finally I found your video.

Thank you so muuuuch bro i ve been struggling with this you really helped thanks ❤❤
after years your video is still the best solution on the web for this annoying problem
Oh my god it actually worked, Thank you!!! Liked and Subbed man! Well Deserved :)
MBP13, Early 2011. High Sierra OS. Doesn't accept "csrutil disable" so i ignored. Start OS as usual, just copy boot camp assist on desktop and then modified info. Also didn't find DARequiredROMVersions. It is working at the moment.
This worked perfectly, thanks so much.
This tutorial is amazing!! Thanks!
Beautiful! Thank you man!
Hey Thanks a lot it seems to be working for the moment, but since I cannot download Xcode right know, I am trying with the notepad. I noticed when adding the macbok, mine was already listed, put i needed to remove as you said the PRE from USBboot supported models. Do you think I would still need to add the ROMS version? since I am not being able to find that section when using text editor.
Thanks man, I was stopped for weeks and even though I haven't been able to launch it, I've already taken some steps thanks to your video, my osx is Lion 10.7 Mac from 2008 White, it crashed here in csrutil disable
I had to insert DArequiredrom and it still worked...thank you
You are great! You saved my week. Thanks a lot. 🇾🇪
Hi there. I cannot get this to work on Mojave. :( I have tried absolutely everything but still only see the install windows 10 option. I no my MBP model is supported with 7 as i have had it installed before.
For a warning for anyone who uses this video it should work although some steps are unnecessary and you should absolutely Reenable system integrity once you complete these steps.
Hi, need some help. every time I restart using command r it's going straight to the normal log in - not to the recovery mode. I appreciate any help. I'm using MB Pro mid 2009 el capitan.
Thank you my friend it worked perfectly
awesome i been working on Macs recently and this has helped me for booting thank you very much
Does this only work on a partition of the main Boot drive or can i install windows on the hard drive replacing my internal CD/DVD drive?
I have the same computer Model, did everything..I even added the "DARequiredROMVersions" option, which my bootcamp file did not had. When I open bootcamp I get a message, your startup disk need at least 49GB---I have like 200gb free of storage, then it shows me the two first options enabled, but the third option "install windows" is disabled (grayed-out). Help me..thank you.
Thanks very much for this video, it helped me install windows on my Air
i use macbook pro mid 2010 (High Siera) and i want to know which xcode do i need to download please
Thank you so much, this method worked perfectly on my MacBook 5,2(early 2009).
Thanks a million, have an old 2009 MacBook Pro 13 that I wiped & re installed El Capitan but was having issues installing boot camp windows iso, found your video & even though it took longer as I had to download & install Xcode app the end result was the same & I'm now currently creating a win boot up disk, top man

2009 Macbook Pro here too. Do you remember what version of Xcode you installed? I get warnings from versions 3.0 and 3.2 that they are not compatible with the system...
Thx man, this helps a lot👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hilarious that Apple creates this "assistant", and yet everybody is having to hack around it to get it to work. Shameful on Apple's part. Perhaps they should user test their software.

It expects you to use a DVD copy if you have one, if not it will bring up the create usb menu
Thanks, you're the man!
Thank you so much!!! FYI: In High Sierra DARequiredROMVersions is now called CFBundleSupportedPlatforms. Everything else in this video worked for High Sierra.

I dont seem to have the "preusbsupported models" line in my info.plist ? imac9.1 running el capitan 10.11.6
THANK YOU! I did not have DARequiredROMVersions as the comment below me said as well, but closing out and starting BootCamp brought up the option to create an install disk. Its working on doing so right now. Hoping this will finally get Windows 7 on my Mac so I can get rid of slow slow slow slow VirtualBox.

For me it worked with csrutil disabled in mac os high sierra. Some steps have changed but it's pretty intuitive. It worked for me

Thanks for the video.

OK guys figure out the problem so when you copy the the ROMz what you got to do is copy that and go to the CF bundle supported platforms and just pieced it there and it works

Thanks!!! work now in 2018!!!!! amazing!
This worked on my 2011 Macbook Pro 8,1. I had to use gDisk to alter my partition scheme as Windows doesn't play nicely with a hybrid MBR. The process is very easy as it's just a couple lines in Terminal. Also, when finishing the gDisk process, don't be afraid of the message that pops up when you want to save changes. It says it will erase partitions, this doesn't affect your data.

You’re amazing! KZread tutorials never work but this did! However for anyone seeing this you can do it without the tool because it’s hard to download in 2023, just edit it like how he did but put before you put your computer’s model and after. Awesome stuff!

Please insert a USB drive or DVD which contains a full version of Windows 7.” Any advice? My ISO is a Windows 10 ISO.
