    MacBook Pro Only Boots UEFI Volumes—No Legacy Mode

    Hey everyone, this is my first post on the forums. Since Saturday, I've been fiddling with a Late 2008 MacBook Pro (15"). For whatever reason, it just does not want Windows installed on it. I've tried about 5 different Windows XP ISOs (booting from both CDs and flash drives) and none of them are...

    WiFi instability in Windows 10 under Boot Camp

    I have a MacBook Pro, 2016, 15 inch. When in OS X, the internet works exactly as expected. Decent speeds, relatively stable ping. However, in the Windows 10 installation under Boot Camp,, it's quite the opposite. The connection frequently drops and reconnects, and when it is connected, the ping...

    Hello I am considering to buy a second hand Thunderbolt 27“ (the old one of 2012). :rolleyes: My internal SSD in my 2013 MacPro includes 2 volumes. One with about 2/3 of its capacity has presently High Sierra and the other with the remaining 1/3 has Bootcamp Windows 10. Until now I use an old...

    Windows 10 via Boot Camp, impossible

    Hi everyone. I wanted to share my (unfortunate) experience with Boot Camp and maybe get some support if I did something wrong and this utility is not useless after all. So, I'm trying to install Win 10 via Boot Camp on a mid 2012 MBP (i7, 16 GB Ram, two SSDs). First, I got an official ISO of the...

    iMac late 2015 booting from external SSD. What to do with the internal?

    Sorry guys I’m sure this has been covered but I don’t seem to have the ability to find any kind of consensus on how to do it. I’ve managed to boot my iMac from an external ssd.

    Boot Camp partitioning taking forever

    Today I wanted to install Windows 10 on my iMac for the first time with Boot Camp, so I downloaded the ISO file from the official site (the April 2018 version) and then started Boot Camp. It all went well, but then the loading bar stopped at 2/3. It stopped at "partitioning disk" - felt like 2...

    Hello, I have an iMac 27" 2017 model with a 128GB flash blade and a 1TB flash SSD inside. I'm on Mojave and I use the big HD for macOS and the small one for Boot Camp. When I install Windows via Boot Camp the BC Assistant creates a 8GB partition named Wininstall that contains the Windows iso...

    MP5,1 won't boot back to Mojave after BootCamp win10

    If this has discussed before pardon me, but a search did not gave me something relative (or my English are not so well). OK, I have a MacPro 5,1 with a Saffire Pulse RX580 and Mojave. Recently I updated the boot ROM version to 141.0.0.0.0 but the problem is still there: If I choose to boot...

    Installing Windows 7 on Mid-2011 iMac

    Hi folks! I recently replaced my 2011 iMac's failing internal hard drive with a nice, spacious 4TB chonker, and decided I could spare the room for a Windows partition again — it's been a few years, and there are a few Windows-only games I wouldn't mind trying to play again. Thing is, my iMac...

    I extensively benchmarked my 2018 Mac Mini+eGPU against my 2009 Mac Pro

    Hi there! It turns out keeping a 2009 Mac Pro running can be a lot of busy work (as 25 pages of people who can't read instructions will attest)- especially since I have a Geforce 1080 and modern NVIDIA cards are no-go in Mojave until further notice. So I figured it'd be a good time to get the...
