"After formatting the partition appears a message saying: Windows can not be installed on this disk. The selected disk is in the gpt partition style. What is going on?" *Click Read More* After I did some digging, I found an youtube guide that has helped me. Step 1: go back into Mac OS and open up Disk Utility. Step 2: Click (what used to be the Bootcamp OS ) and click Erase on the top. For the Format, CLICK "ExFAT", not MS-DOS. Step 3: Restart your mac and hold Alt as necessary. Step 4: THIS TIME::: Select "EFI Boot" instead of Windows. It should be the last option. Step 5: Follow the default instructions accordingly, and (format it into NTFS via the Format button on windows mode) Step 6: the "Next" option should now be unlocked. Happy Bootcamping bois.

I went a different route. I just cleaned my new partition in command prompt as soon as I booted the windows install cd

You sir, are an angel, you’ve helped me after three days of stressing out and realising I had no idea what I was doing!

Well done, worked perfectly. Would love to see additional content. You present well!

That was a very well done tutorial. I'm going to try this tomorrow! Cheers!

Many many thanks. Your vid is awesome:-). I was able to install my office 2019 on my late 2011 mbp on Yosemite all because of you:-)

This is the best boot camp instructions that i find on line, thanks a lot, you make the hard really easy

Thank you, thank you thank you!!! I had an mid 2011 iMac 27 inch standing around for one year. Tried to install Windows 10 unsuccessfully several times and gave up for a while. With your video and the replacement of the defective superdrive I finally got it working! Yeah! Everything worked from the very start! Sound, graphics, camera, bluetooth, wifi. Very happy!

Which mac os were you running?

Excellent! Your method worked perfectly! Thank you! A couple notes from installing on my Mac Pro (late 2013), I borrowed an official Win10 install disc from a friend, and used my own Key that I got, as per your recommendation. I also don’t have a built in dvd drive, so my external LG dvd drive worked just fine. New life to my old computer!

One of the best tutorials on KZread , thank you very much !

After one day of trying to do this you are the one who is the biggest help

THANK YOU for this video! This saved me a headache after seeing the "can't install windows 10 on this machine" errors in bootcamp while trying to upgrade a family member's bootcamp side to 10. I was able to do this exact method but using a USB installer and I didn't have any issues. The only other thing I had to do differently was to run the Bootcamp drivers in compatibility mode with Windows 7.

Good day, I know this video is 3 years old, but I just had to say “you sir are a God”! I have for over a month, Googling and watching video after video trying to put windows on my Mac 2011. Rewriting software, changing this changing that, just to keep getting no no no. Then in 30 minutes all is functional. Thank you so so much.

Can you use a dual layer DVD+r 8.5 gb? Please help

I just did this following these specific instructions and am currently running Windows 10 on my mid 2001 iMac. This video helped when the instructions online didn’t. I also had to install windows 8.1 first and then upgrade to Windows 10 due to the 4.7gb size restriction of the DVD-R. Also my Apple BT keyboard didn’t not work at first and after numerous attempts at reinstalling boot camp drivers realized it was a BT issue

Your time must be very cheap if you invested hours installing 8.1 and updating to 10 instead of buying a double layer DVD.

Best one for macpro 3,1 as my earlier efforts with other videos using USB didnt work (couldn't boot from the boot menu....kept getting stuck). The windows drivers worked from the outset even without the bootcamp drivers. Wasn't able to update the graphics card drivers as demonstrated here. Its still the ATI xx00 series but everything seems to be working fine except the bluetooth connection to apple wireless keyboard and trackpad.

Hi, really well presented tutorial. I know you say delete other partitions so that there are only two partitions: Macintosh HD and Bootcamp, however, I really need my other partitions. Will it create lots of issues if there are more than the two?

Hiya, I followed this and was able to install W10, but it keeps crashing. Additionally, when it did load the first time, it wouldn't let me go into the BC control panel nor did the audio have additional speaker so to choose from. Any ideas?

when i press the disk after retsarted it turns to a black screen and doesnt chrange?

tell me, do you have any problems with the brightness of the screen? The k2100m video card is installed, the drivers are installed from bootcamp, but the automatic brightness does not work(( imac 2011 write a solution to the problem!

How do you install the drivers manually if they don’t auto load?

I can’t get to 11:25 where it shows bootcamp on the screen as a startup disk, it shows I have it on my home screen but when I go to startup disks in my settings it only shows my main hard drive, I’ve tried different methods of holding alt while restarting and nothing works, does someone know a solution or if I did anything wrong. When I click on Bootcamp it doesn’t show any files in it and I’m not sure if that’s normal cause I have the disk with the windows download on it and the usb plugged in. Does someone know why boot camp doesn’t show up in my start up disks?

Follow the instructions in the video for downloading the drivers. If the Bootcamp installer did not start up then yes you would need to run the installer from USB or even install them all manually.
