Welcome to r/bootcamp!

Hello everyone. I’ve had my 2019 iMac for about 4-5 years now and have been using the windows 10 bootcamp partition for gaming since I got it. Everything has been running fine until about a month or two ago and suddenly whenever I’m playing a game it’ll crash in the middle of it. I tried deleting and reinstalling the partition to see if it’ll be fixed that way but it’s still crashing whenever I play a game. I’m not as tech savvy so I’m not sure what the problem could be.

Hey guys. Having a weird issue. On my windows partition it's saying power surge detected at ush port. Nothing plugged in. Ports get power and read data accordingly. Message keeps popping up. When I switch back to my mac partition, it doesn't say any warning about the usb ports. What gives?

Its been like this for the past 30 mins, i was trying to add more storage to bootcamp.

hey got windows 10 installed on big sur mac os been a little bit of a struggle finding older versions of programs but now im here and when i run the bootcamp setup in windows it doesnt install the drivers, no wireless keyboard no wifi. its all on a external drive fyi any help?

Hi I have heard about how Bootcamp works. I despise using Windows today (because I feel it's slow and annoying to), I own a beat up Unibody MacBook Pro (mid 2012) and I mainly use it for editing, as well been forced to stay on macOS Mojave (due to Catalina break support for 32-bit apps).

I mainly use macOS or Linux and have to have drives formatted as exFAT and need Windows when the main editing drive decide to disconnect (due to a bad cable) and I have to boot up my dogshit slow Acer laptop.

So here is my question: Can I just install Windows 11 with a regular iso (by using Etcher to flash the USB drive) or do I need Rufus? If so is there a version for Rufus on macOS or Linux?

I don't mind Windows 10, don't want to install it due to end of life.

I have no clue how Bootcamp works exactly (so sorry in advance) I have made a NTFS partion (or exFAT, don't remember, can't check at the moment) and just need to get m USB drive (not at my place at the moment).

I would have to use Windows 10/11 like once or twice a month.

I appreciate any help and advice I can get (and sorry for being confusing)

I have my Bachelor's degree in computer science from Nepal. I moved to the USA, I am confused about whether to do boot camp or to join a master's degree in computer science in New York to get a job in an IT company. Which one is better for a career?

Hello, I am preparing for boot camp and wanted to confirm if the 5.11 Tactical Speed 3.0 Coyote Side-Zip Boot would be approved for use during training. Here is the product link for reference: https://www.511tactical.com/speed-3-coyote-sidezip-boot.html I want to ensure that the style, color, and features meet the required standards before making a purchase. If this model isn’t acceptable, I’d appreciate any recommendations for approved alternatives.

What should I do to solve this? I tried doing it through windows but it finds no audio in or output. Should I update MacOS and go back to windows?

Hi,

I have successfully installed Tiny11 using the "Windows Install" app - managed to get most drivers working, GPU, BT etc.

However I think I have issues with Thunderbolt 3 - I have two TB enclosures, one hosting my 10G Intel NIC and one eGPU (AMD 6900TX) - Both works fine in OSX and did work fine in Windows 10.

I know Windows 11 comes with OOB support for TB (At least TB4)

Have anyone here successfully used TB3 devices with Windows 11 on a Mac mini 2018 model?

Anyone else having similar experiences?

Examples:

- YouTube 4K videos (Firefox) render faster in Windows. I used Firefox cause it gave better results in Mac then Safari in general.

- When having many many tabs open in Firefox, spotify, steam... I experienced no slowdown on W10, but choppiness on MacOS. It seems that W10 is using the RAM and swap better.

I am aware animations are snappier which do help W10 the 'faster' experience, but are for example video drivers better on W10? Is Apple focusing too much on Silicon maybe, which is another factor showing that W10 is doing better (at least in 4k videos rendering). I additionaly also read that other people had experiences with older Mac's (intel) having better performance in Bootcamp.

Guess I use my iMac then mostly with W10 and keep my macbook (intel 2018) running MacOS, since i did notice that battery life / efficiency and thermals are absolutly better than W10 running on my macbook. Best of both worlds i guess!

Share your experiences and thoughts!

So my macbook pro 2017 (A1708) all of a sudden stopped loading into windows, and now says: “windows couldn’t load properly” i have a bunch of important stuffnon there which i cant afford to lose, how do i fix it?

Hello,

I have a 2016 Macbook pro 13in with 4 usb-c ports. My goal is to install Windows on it and completely remove macOS because I will not be using it and don't want it taking up space.

I am currently booting it off a flashdrive with the latest windows 10 iso and brigadier drivers for this specific model.

After showing the windows 10 logo for about 15 minutes, it blue screens with an ACPI_BIOS_ERROR.

I have tried resetting the NVRAM, SMC, and PRAM, and nothing changed. I also saw somewhere the suggestion to hold the power button on the blue screen for 10 seconds to completely restart it, but this also didn't do anything. All the other suggestions involve bootcamp, which I'm trying to avoid because I want to remove macOS entirely by overriding the drive with a windows install(not a partition, the whole drive).

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

I have installed sucessfully windows 11 on my 2010 macbook pro, and been searching for the drivers. Unfortunately didn’t find notjing. Does someone know where I could download them please? Mostly for the airport and the trackpad. Thank you!

i9-9980hk, intel uhd 630, 5500m pro: do you guys know how to make both the gpu's show up on bootcamp. only the 5500m is showing up on bootcamp and I heard that with some tweaking you can make both the gpu's show up on bootcamp (os version sequoia)

I'm running Windows XP (SP3, 32-bit) on my mid-2010 polycarbonate MacBook. However, I can't seem to get any audio drivers running. Try as a might, everything I try doesn't work. I'm not looking for bootcamp isos or whatever, I just need a good old exe file. I tried Apple's bootcamp exes and they didn't work. Help?

I was recently in this project of installing windows 11 on my old MacBook Air (a1466), I just couldn’t figure out how to do it. Somany complications of how to do it, so I decided to just install windows directly in the iso file from windows 11 and somehow worked. So my MacBook is running windows 11 but I can’t figure how to get the drivers! So many videos and methods and I just can’t find a solution. Can someone please help me, thank you.

Not sure how to begin to explain this, but something i've noticed in windows, no matter my settings, i get the "sticky" key behavior of the "alt/option" key being held

It disables back by tapping it a bunch of time, and it's not a fault due me having multiple magic keyboard and all behaving the same, the thing is i don't know how to turn it on, only how to turn it off, so i can't easily reproduce, but all my sticky key settings are off and I still get it from time to time

Is this a hardware thing magic keyboards come and can't be disabled? am i crazy? maybe

is it even possible? i wanna play some minimal games but mac isn't supported on steam.

Hello! I have a 6.1 Mac Pro and it has a 1TB SSD, with bootcamp, with many settings, because it also has an EGPU connected to it.

Now it is divided into 3 parts (MacOS, Windows, Kryptonie EFI) but this 500-500 GB is not enough for the 2 operating systems, so I would like to replace it with a 2TB one. Would it be possible to clone the SSD so that Mac OS, Windows and Krpytonite remain, and both operating system partitions get an extra 500GB? So I want them for 1000GB/1000GB. Of course, I know it won't be exactly a thousand, Kryptonite, system files, and the SSD itself are only 1,900, but I hope you understand what I mean. By the end, I would get a usable 880/880 GB. Or should I buy an external SSD with a THUNDERBOLT 3 to 2 adapter? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Ok. Here’s what I got going. I’ve got a 7.1 running a studio display (thunder bolt C.) I also have a RX 580. I have the WJESOG tbolt-3 to display port cable All runs fine in Mac. But switching to windows in boot camp I get black, flickers screen on the studio display. Connecting to the HDMI port with standard lcd I get good picture. I got the rx 580 to test setup before I spent $400 on a rx6900xt. Studio display cost almost as much as the 7,1. (It has Pro Vega Duo) you got any ideas.

OK, so I got the WJESOG cable for my studio display and it works beautiful with my RX 580 in macOS However, when I boot into windows, I get a black screen I’ve tried various drivers The HDMI port to my secondary older monitor works fine Only thing I can think of is I originally had it set to 10 bit pixel When I had the Vega ll duo in That’s the next thing I’ll try, but does anybody have any ideas of why I can’t get video in windows?

Help! It's been 2 years I'm stuck running windows on my intel macbook pro. Whenever I try to reboot on macos its just the grey wheel over a black screen forever, sometimes attempting to reboot but just looping back to the same loading screen. Anybody had this issue and was able to resolve it? Finally taking to reddit before spending hundreds at apple for a simple software glitch I just dont understand...

(Made myself laugh realizing how much better windows is that even on a macbook bro it took me 2 years to even care enough to try and go back to macOS finally)

I just restarted my Mac to windows and these 2 things are floating around my screen. This hasn’t happened before and idk what to do about it

So in the past week I’ve been stuck in windows boot camp because the apple bootcamp drivers didn’t install correctly. With tons of troubleshooting I found a solution, assuming you get the error: appleOSSMGR.exe

so first go to explorer and find appleOSSMGR.exe move it onto desktop Now when you try to install drivers it will get stuck at something like: bootcampservice.exe (it will tell you) then find that and move it to desktop. Now install one last time and it will work.

Can’t u delete it for more storage space for windows????
