Hi Friends recently I had problems with my MacBook Air 1466 early 2013 the motherboard and ssd were giving issues I got the motherboard repaired and the SSD replaced the OS was upgraded to EL Catalina it was working flawlessly.

Now the Issues started when I tried to install Windows 10 64bit got the bootcamp working and the bootable was made without any errors but when it boots and tries to install windows just after the language selection it just gets stuck on the Screen "Setup is Starting" with an hour glass and no further activity I've tried downloading different iso images from MS site but no luck.

Then I downgraded it to Mojave still the same no luck.

After getting so pissed off I downgraded it to High Sierra but the same happens and downloaded windows 8.1 that also gets stuck on setup is starting and I've tried with different Pen Drives too and tried replacing the ssd also still the same.

Can anyone pls help me I'm really frustrated friends.

This is not an issue with macOS but the Windows installation. When you are in the actual Windows installation. the macOS code is not running.
I am not sure when the Setup is starting screen comes up, but if it is after the disk partition selection screen make sure that you format the disk partition you are targeting as NTFS.

I have the same issue too.
I’ve been trying so many different things. I have three devices with wininstall. Different version and none of them seem to work. I really don’t know what the issue is.
