You’re an absolute life saver. OCLP’s guide wasn’t working for me and it was a bit complicated. But your guide was very straightforward and the installation went very smoothly on my 2012 Mac Mini. Thanks a bunch :)

Pov: the video releases 2h before you need it Thanks for your amazing work. You have saved me so much time and effort :) Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much @Anonymous914 👍

I have for the better of 3 days, been trying to dual boot my mid 2012 opencore monterey with windows 10. Each time, it just kept failing. That was till I followed your tutorial step by step, thank you so much for making these videos. Keep up the amazing work!

I was able to upgrade my mid-2012 MacBook Pro running Patched Sur to Monterey 12.3.1 using OCLP without any problems... Even the Windows 11 Bootcamp was intact and works perfect... Thanks Mr. Mac for another great tutorial.

Thank you for this tutorial! While I didn't use the methods described here in detail, it helped to identify the issue with installing Windows 10 on a 2012 Macbook (the optical ISO solution which supports legacy BIOS/MBR installations). After using another tool (gdisk) to create a set of hybrid GPT/MBR partitions on the SSD drive, I was finally able to complete an non-EFI installation of Windows 10. This allowed the integrated graphics drivers to work properly (as well as audio). Thanks again!

Whoooo! Let me know if it worked 👍

That's really work and help me after walkthru steps by steps. I got it finally. Really appreciate your sharing.

Worked a treat, many thanks.

Perfect tutorial - thx a lot. First I managed to install Monterey on my 2010 MBP following your tutorial and now Win 10. I even managed to upgrade to Win 11 and it works perfectly on a 12 / 13 year old MBP. Thx again!

I have the same Macbooj Pro mid-2010. I stuck at 13:53 because it says, your partition is MBR but it should be GPT based. And i can’t continue. And after 1 day still i got no answers. I can’t find anything useful. How did you manage to install windows 10? Is your disk GPT based already? But how? I followed Mr Macintosh’s MacOS Sonoma guide perfectly. And it works now. But bootcamp windows 10 doesn’t. Help me please. 😢

Follow step by step and it WORKS LIKE CHARM 👌 on my MBP 13" mid 2010, stick on Monterey and patiently waiting for an OCLP update to fix the minor bug, ie; Maps, Location, Photo Boot. Thank you for all the hard work to putting this together 🙏

Thank you for uploading that installer and telling us which one to get.

Thank you for this! You rock!

That bogus old saying "Those who can't do, teach".... You disprove that right here, and in your other videos. Extremely helpful.

Wow. Great. Thanks man! 💜

Thank you! Installation of Ventura and Windows10 bootcamp went perfect on an 2009 imac8,1 we picked up for $35. A 2009 imac is running with full 2023 features and security patches for both Mac OS and Windows 10. I have full messenger support, and full app compatibility. This is amazing. Note1: SSD required. Originally, the iMac system was unusable with the stock HDD. After upgrading to an older 256GB SSD, I'm able to install and browse most web pages, buy things, do email, study, play some 2010 era games, etc. Note2: Venture is the newest usable OS for my model. Even with SSD, Sonoma was too slow to be usable, so I had to downgrade to Ventura. Note3: the imac8,1 model had a built in DVD, which per this great video, needs a Windows DVD install. The hardest part of the bootcamp install in 2023 was sourcing the smallest possible pack of blank DVDs and a cheap $20 dvd burner. Note4: The Boot menu is a bit confusing, in that the bootcamp partition only boots from the initial (native built in) Apple bios boot menu, but Ventura boots from the secondary (chain loaded) OpenCore boot menu. First time I did the boot camp install, the Ventura OS booted and the apple progress bar froze at 40%. I assumed I botched the install, and redid everything, but perhaps it was just me choosing windows from the wrong boot loader. Note5: Specs are good. The 4GB ram was good enough for both Ventura and Windows 10. No issues thus far. I don't see swap usage with my workloads. The SATA 2 interface is fast enough; specifically the HDD bottleneck appears to be the HDD random access read speeds, which, per CrystalDiskMark, were 2 orders of magnitude slower than SSD.

Mr. Macintosh, you did it again. Super video, great explanation, I will keep saying it, "Mr. Macintosh, Simply the Best" Thanks!

Thank you for this video it helps a lot ❤❤❤

thanks a lot... this worked for me also in 2024 :)

Muchas gracias, excelente video.

Thank you Man ❤

You can use Rufus or Hasleo WintoUSB to make an external Windows installation. Works great! I have a dvd caddy and now I have a 240gb external SSD with Windows 10 and I can play games. Thanks for sharing all of this information. Obviously you have to select MBR/Legacy installation to make it work. Hasleo only made a Home Edition, but Rufus can select a Pro Edition and lets you make the Windows Boot MBR and UEFI (this type of partition it's on another partition of the drive).

Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video! Makes it a lot clearer for me. I only have one question. How can I install this on a seperate internal SSD instead of a partition?

Awesome guide! I've used the dosdude1 patcher guides in the past to take my MacBook pro 5, 3 (mid 2009) up to Catalina and I dual boot between Windows 10 and OSX. Catalina. Following your guide, I used open core, applied it to my APFS Mac distro and updated to Monterey. I had an issue getting the partition to convert to APFS. Then I saw a video where you unmount then convert to APFS inside the disc manager inside recovery console or USB boot up installer disk manager. That was the only step I was missing. I can still use Windows if I hold control it boots with the legacy boot option. But if I let the computer boot normally, it defaults to Monterey via the open core EFI loader.

Thank you so much

Thank you !!!!!

iMac2008 6GB RAM, ventura-windows10 dualboot works excellente, thanks

Ciao, I downloaded the iso file for DVD, burn it, boot MBR Windows in boot section, installed, updating, audio and external monitor finally works, and now I am suprised … thank you very much, you have made such a good video … 👍 MacBookPro 9,2 (2012) with external optical drive

Bro I want ti say thank you for your guide ❤❤❤+ subscribe 😊

Great video! Can you do Win 11 on Macbook Pro 9,2? Would be wild to see Windows 11 on dvd when their depreciating bluray 4k.

Another excellent video from you! I successfully installed Monterey on an Early 2008 MacBook Pro 4,1 and then had Windows fully updated running in parallel. I had to start with a single partition Mac drive in order to succeed but once all working I decided to restore the El Capitan through a CCC clone to a smaller partition created from within the Monterey. But something about just cloning an El Captain drive to a new partition made it so the Windows drive is no longer visible (I can still boot to Monterey and El Capitan). How can I restore the Windows drive (still intact I am pretty sure) to the OCLP bootloader process? Thank you,

Thanks! this worked for me but i couldn't stop the bootcamp assistant restarting my 2012 macbook and i ran into the problem of windows seeing the bootcamp partition as unusable. I booted back into mac and formatted it to mac journaled and then to exfat. I then went back into the windows installation and tried again and this time with success as it was able to delete the partition and then format it for installation. Plus the sound works too!

Спасибо, всё завелось по вашему методу

hi, my problem is that when i go to select the windows disk on my macbook pro mid 2010 it does not start it starts only if i select efi boot with the disk icon starts, but it does not let me install windows because it says that it is not possible to install this partition in efi mode need to convert to gpt? what should I do?

Hermano muchas gracias

I have a clone of my Windows legacy drive in winclone. Will I be able to restore my old partition to this new install? And I already have a mac partition. Does using bootcamp mean I have to create another mac partition and osx install or can windows be the only partition on the “Bootcamp” drive? Thanks and this was a great “how to” guide!

Hi great tutorial, love it One issue with me , when boot camp finished installing drivers and I reboot, it doesn't come up anymore , it crashes every time and diagnostic pc then auto attempt to repair and still crashes and restart the same problem, can I update windows 10 to the fullest before installing bootcamp drivers??

Wonderful, can now get my 2012 MBP rocking. Question: after Windows is installed in this manner, can I then install my Linux partition off of that?

For some reason I see people all the time in different tutorials talking about using Boot Camp Assistant with a usb thumb drive but if I have a thumb drive plugged in, I always get the error "Please remove any external storage device attached to this system before continuing." and I can't continue unless I unplug my thumb drive so I can't get to that next screen

Thanks for the Video! It has worked here on my macbookpro 7,1 mid 2010. I just had to reinstall mac os from scratch. An update from High Sierra didn't work. I've also reverted the Windows 10 from 22H2 to the DVD version 1801 because it made the graphics card 320m nvidia, too slow...

Hello! Thank you very much for your videos. I am running a MP 5.1 with a non flashed GPU, I was wondering if there is another way to install Windows widow partitioning th main HD, basically not going the Bootcamp route. Thank you!

i got error when clicking the bootcamp partition: windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table. on EFI system windows can only be installed to GTP disk

Excellent how to video, so I have attempted to give it a go. Struck a problem though. The 4.4Gb W10 ISO (4.4Gb) downloads as 4.69Gb on my Mac(s) so it gets rounded to 4.7Gb and my DVD Burner utility rejects it because of insufficient space on the DVD. How do I get around this ? I solved it by downloading and burning on a W10 PC

just got windows 100 working properly, Need windows 11 tutorial too, thanks

I have problems with my apple keyboard and oclp i cant use the keyboard to boot into the bootselection i need a extra usb keyboard all the time is there away to get around that

How could you do this if you want to install Windows on a separate drive and not a partition? Bootcamp doesn't let you format another drive, only create a partition.

Hi I got the windows 10 iso to a dvd but it won’t boot the Mac does see it in the boot menu but when I select it I get a flashing cursor for a few seconds and then nothing happens I waited about 5 minutes does it take longer I and using a MacBook Pro from 2012

Thank you for yet another awesome video - Thanks to you I have upgraded my Mac Mini 2010 from Maverick to Sonoma over the years I have seen your tutorials. This time though I am running into issues with the dual, Windows 10 boot. Everything works until during the Windows install I am asked what drive to install Windows 10 on. I select the BootCamp drive previously prepared, but it will not allow me to proceed? I have formatted the drive to Fat as recommended, and even tried formatting it during the Windows install process, but nothing works - Any ideas, anyone? I thank you in advance! 😊

i have a Problem i have a 2009 Macbook Pro with BigSure Patcher (Opencore) and its running very good. But i want that same options that you have with windows 10 Bootchamp. But every time i get a message from the installers you musst boot from GPT because mbr its not suportet but all my drivers are gpt. Can you help me?

hi and thank you for your video that will help me for sure. I have a question : i want to instal windoxs 10 on an other disk than the mac os one. But bootcamp assistant force me tu partitionate my mac os disk in order to instal windows on it. Is there a way to choose another disk ? I precise that my second ssd is formated and mounted. So why bootcamp assistant does not allow me to choose it ? Thank you for your help.

hello, I've been trying to put windows 10 on my iMac 2011 and I've tried totally everything but I just can't get it to install on the bootcamp partition no matter what format I chose MR Macintosh please I beg you, can you help me ive been doing this for a solid week and nothing 😞

After finishing all this, all i wanted is to hide Macintosh HD disk on bootpicker, and shown “Windows” and “EFI Boot (OC)” only. how to do that? and how to rename “Efi Boot” to “Macintosh HD” thnks for help

i have a 2012 macbook pro retina, so which method would i be using?

I have tried to follow this video 3 times but the install hangs up at the same point each time... The unit is a late 2012 mini Mac with a 1tb hd and 16GB of ram that has Catalina OS.. It appears the install is going as stated but It hangs up after windows stop gets to the part where it is supposed to copy files to the hard drive. The screen shows the drive partitions but message says that windows files can only be installed to a gui drive.Any Thoughts or ways forward... I have 4 units in my office that I need to run several windows only programs on... HELP PLEASE!!!

I have macOS 12 + Windows 11 (UEFI) installed on my MBP 2012 + OPENCORE partition, but the Intel 4000 drivers cause it to crash, to avoid this I disable them before they get updated in Device Manager but the only drawback is not being able to adjust the brightness. Does Windows 11 support a non-UEFI install? Will I need to reinstall Windows if I want to convert the GPT scheme of my Windows 11? Will it also help with triple booting Linux since my bootloader gets messed up when I install Linux. Can't wait for your video.

Ive a macbook pro mid 2012 retina, theres a windows boot but when i clicked on it nothing happen and the screen just glitched, when i just install on efi boot, when the installation done, i can use the windows smoothly, BUT after i turn on the internet, that means the graphics driver getting update, it causes me black screen after that 😩 is there any fix for this?

Would this work on a 2012 MacBook Pro with Sonoma it does have a DVD drive update to this I was able to install windows 10 through the DVD drive but it does take a while to start when you first start installing

Any status on how to update to Windows 11? Thanks

Hey awsome video! Please make a video on how to install windows 11

on my 2012 Mac Pro running monterey latest, i guess I have to have an apple firmware video card with boot selector? so i need to replace my RX580 with an apple graphics card first? I get a boot picker and it started up the cd but then said my bootcamp partition woudnt work.. I never saw the DVD but it shows maybe my USB stick as install

Do I need to be able to see the boot screens to be able to do this method? I’m running a mac pro 5,1 with a rx 6600xt and I can’t see the boot screens with that card. To load into windows would I be able to use the oclp boot picker?

after i choose the DVD icon to boot from i want go further it stucks with the black sreen and a blinking in the lef cornen ( - ) thats symbol...

I have Monetry, thanks to you, on a 2015 iMac. However, bootcamp will not run while an external USB drive is plugged in. There does not seem to be an option for creating a bootable USB with Monyerey's version of Bootcamp.

Works for open core 2011 iMac

Great video! I have a question about my setup i'm planning to use with oclp and windows 10. I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5,1 and my upgraded graphics card does not show the boot screen when holding "option" while booting. therefore I do not know how I'm going to switch operating systems without having to remove and reinstall the original graphics card every time I switch OS's, which can be very problematic since the original gpu isn't supported in any recent version of mac OS. Do you know another way i can work around this? Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos!!

Difference between Legacy Bios and UEFI? What should I use for my mackbook mid 2012?

What you recommend for a Macbook Pro 2012 retina, Legacy or UEFI bios for Windows 10?

Hello there. I have a 2010 macbook pro 7,1 model currently running a high sierra and windows 10 dual boot. Is there any way to update the Mac OS keeping the current install, both mac and windows? if not, is there a way to clone my current install both partitions and rever t back if anything goes wrong ? thanks

Hey, ran into an issue with my MacBook Pro 2011. That dang dedicated video card. Mine's patched to be turned off. When the Windows installer starts off the DVD, I get some pretty purple bars about an inch thick and one windows logo. And nothing else. Is there any way to get windows to ignore the dedicated video just like OS X (and Open Core) do?

If you can't install Windows on partition you should return to macOS, then do following steps: Once you open up Disk Utility, you will "Erase" the BOOTCAMP partition and set the format to MAC OS EXTENDED (JOURNALED), once the "Erase" and re-formatting are done, restart your mac. Hold down the "Option" key as the macbook powers on, then select as at first try. From there the Windows logo should appear and then you'll be prompted to select language and Windows version (i.e. Home, Education, Pro), skip the activation key section then on the next window where you select the partition to install in, you should see several option. You should see the "Unallocated Space" partition with only 128Mb, but it is obviously too small to install Windows on, so you will need to delete the "BOOTCAMP" partition which should have just about as much space as you allowed for your Windows install. Select "BOOTCAMP" (or whatever you renamed it when in Disk Utility) and press delete, this will add all that storage to the "Unallocated Space". You should now be able to install Windows.

Hi! If i have a late 2009 white MacBook, and the dvd doesnt Work, is it possible to do it via usb?

THIS WAS PERFECT but quick question, is your graphics driver working? I have a Macbook Pro 2011 and my AMD drivers arent working after this tutorial anyone have any fixes

Quick question: when I load into Windows, I launch bootcamp app and I chose the Windows partition to be the default boot partition. That works well but as soon as I manually boot into macOS (by pressing the option/alt key), the boot partition defaults back to the macOS partition. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?

what if my 2009 mac mini dvd drive is broken...can i use a usb

Did anyone try to run parallels on a oclp Mac? I had parallels running on my iMac mid 2010 before updating to Monterey with oclp. Would be a great help if that would run again.

I got all the way to 13:00 but no DVD option presents itself. I have previously replaced the superdrive with an aftermarket dvd-bluray combo drive. When my disc appeared the icon was actually a yellow usb looking thing. When selected it did run the optical drive. But then when it got to "where do you want to install Windows", drive 0 partition 3 BOOTCAMP has a message "Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 3 (Show details) because it is APFS I think. I wish that would have been mentioned at the start of the video. When 'show details' is clicked the message reads: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." Bummer.

i want to install win10 on caddy (2nd drive), so i get another way to get this done. i install win10 legacy on other laptop till finish (w/o driver) then moved it to caddy MBP. turn on while holding atl/option and there you go.. give win10 sometime to configure MBP hardware, after login you can setup bootcamp driver.

Nice thank you so much

I got “windows cannot install required files” :( imac late 2012, no cd drive. I used the WINDOWS boot (bios) and that happened. EFI doesn’t work, as expected. What should I do?

What about if you don't have a DVD to do it or a DVD drive?I have OCLP Monterey 12.6.1 in a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13''

I have a mid 2011 mac, running ventura 13.6.4, I also have a bootcamp partiton with windows 10. I followed this guide, to have a dual boot of the same hard drive and everything was running smoothly. I've just tried to boot the machine into windows, pressed the alt key, selected efi and the windows legacy folder has disapeared. Can anyone help me figure out how i can get it back. i've tried to set the start up disk as bootcamp, but I get an error message.

I just wanted to ask a doubt whether you needed oclp to install windows. I have macos catalina macbook pro mid 2012

I have a MacBook Pro 13-Inch "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 Mid-2010. I had a lot of problems to install windows 10 on it due an issue with the GPU drivers (Geforce 320M). The only way I managed to install it is using Bootcamp; Install windows 7 and then keep updating it with Windows update until get the latest windows 10 update. An annoying and slow proccess. I tried also to install windows 11 but I had the same problem. If you know a solution it would be awesome if you could do a video showing how to install windows 10 and 11 in this specific model.
