Hi,
With my Nvidia GT 120 unrecognised it is time to find an alternative solution.
If with El Capitan I was able to boot easily under Windows with the help of Bootchamp, today the same software doesn't work anymore under Sierra.
The command line bless is not supported due to SIP as far as I know which is the main reason why bootchamp is now obsolete.
Therefore numbers of subjects talking about how to replace the command line bless, some people use the command systemsetup
Also today something popup in my mind. After reading some information about the command bless.
My bootcamp partition is running under bootcamp's volume but when I select this partition from system preference startup disk hit the button reboot the computer will display a windows error message - blue screen.
If I press ALT, the only way to boot under windows is to select the partition EFI boot.
So by mixing the information from the command line bless I discover why when I select the Windows startup disk from preference system my computer doesn't boot.
The following command line shows me two boot disks:
The boot volume "/Volume/BOOTCAMP/WINDOWS" is not the right one.
I decided to actually try this command line:
For those who are looking for a solution this one could be a quick fix.

- sudo systemsetup -liststartupdisks
- sudo systemsetup -setstartupdisk /Volumes/[your boot volume]
- sudo systemsetup -getstartupdisk (this command will show you the name of your startup disk).
