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 wondering how I could customize my touchbar to make it similar to macos or just customize it. I have attempted using this thread: GitHub - FelipeNicoletto/WindowsTouchBar: This project is a service to customize the Touch Bar on MacBook running Windows through Boot Camp. However, it just does not work for me, or at least I can't figure it out. Can someone help me out here?
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.
Hey guys, I just did a reset to my laptop and every time I log in after a few seconds I get this black screen that says just a minute but I can move my cursor, then after a few seconds the black screen disappeares, and I can’t function my pc just fine Can someone help me? Thanks!!
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????
My MacBook Pro 13-inch 2016 bluescreened while on Windows 10 and got the error message BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO a few months back. I took it into a repair place, the guy formatted my computer and installed Windows 11 and some MacBook drivers. My original MacOS copy was completely wiped and the computer was significantly slower than before.
I reverted it back to Windows 10, installed the AMD drivers, which seemed to fix a majority of the problems, installed brigadier which made the computer a little less slow but still games ran atrociously.
I've tried many methods to get my computer to run how it once was but nothing seems to fix it. Before, I was able to run Red Dead Redemption 2 and some GTAV at bad graphics, but at the time it was playable. Now, the same games cant run the same. I'm unable to boot my computer back into MacOS, but, if I do would most problems be solved? Hopefully you guys can help.
I have a Mac 2015 Early and I want to turn it into windows 11 WITHOUT no Mac User…..
Any way to do that? Do I have to factory reset my mac and then instal bootcamp in said factory reset?
Hey guy, i need some help regarding my situation. I started playing GTA V when suddenly after the loading screen my pc would automatically go black and reboot. As you can see from the video, you can hear some weird noises coming from my computer with the fan turning up. However, i checked the temps of my CPU and they are fine. I also used Userbenchmark to check any problems and no problems were found. Can anybody help? Thanks!
Having more than a little bit of trouble (re)installing windows after an issue caused me to have to wipe my macbook, then reinstall OS X and Windows.
I have tried multiple versions of windows but it seems Catalina 10.15 only allows for the installation of windows 10/11 through bootcamp. Windows 10 is unsuccessful as the partition made by bootcamp is of the GPT format and not compatible, I bypassed this by restarting the macbook, and reformatting the partition as OS X extended journaled format and then was able to proceed with the windows 10 install until a BSOD occured.
Windows 11 flat out won't install
Windows 8.1 is unsupported by bootcamp
I'm at a loss for how to proceed as I really don't want to have to go out and buy a PC just to run some niche software and I have already spent 2 days tinkering with the issue. Is there a foolproof guide somewhere that may assist me?
I just reinstalled Bootcamp on this mac which is 500gb, I partitioned windows to 100gb but when I enter windows it says only 2gb are left but disk utility says there is still 50gb left of storage.
Last time, my installation of bootcamp have no issues i just picked the wrong iso. But the storage I partitioned to only 80gb which is not enough, but everything works. I reinstalled Bootcamp and now this is my problem.
Thanks
Hi, Recently my MacBook in Bootcamp keeps restarting after like 5 minutes of use. I cleaned the fans and still it wouldn’t make a difference. Can anyone help me? I’m so upset with this
Thanks
I just installed Windows 10 32 bit on an old Macbook air. Chose 32 bit because I only have 2 GB ram on this machine. It appears most everything is working except for right click on the touchpad. I believe I am stuck with Boot camp 4 drivers because 5 is 64 bit. Has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks in advance.
