MP 1,1-5,1 Advice or refer to a guide for boot camp on 5,1

[waxonwaxoff]

Hey there wonderful Mac forum folk,

I am hoping I can get some advice or if this scenario has been posted a million times that you point me in the right direction for a guide on how to get Bootcamp working on a Mac Pro 5,1 on Mojave with a upgraded video card (so I don’t get the pre boot screens).

I seem to remember reading a few months back that trying to setup and day to day operation of bootcamp on the 5,1 with the not factory VCard in 2020 was not as simple as I would hope.

Lastly, I am ok with paying for additional software or hardware if that eases the process or if having a dedicated SSD solely for Windows makes a difference I could do that also.

is it doable, any advice or pointing me to a recent guide would be very appreciated.

simple... install OpenCore and follow the Apendice to install Windows as you need it. OpenCore on the Mac Pro

That’s awesome thanks

so Opencore will let me use bootcamp to then get windows?

Reason I ask is because I thought Mojave closed off bootcamp to unsupported Macs of which 5,1 was one.

I don’t know opencore (will find out all about it now) but is one of the features that it restores Bootcamp access along with the boot screen?
