Number of Partitions + BootCamp

[Knuckleheadz]

Hi,

Is it still the case that BootCamp doesn't like more than 4 partitions on the same physical disk as your MacOS?

I am planning to get a new iMac with 1TB SSD but I like to partition up large drives to make things more manageable.

Thanks
Jon

Hi... I’ve now ordered my new iMac with a 1TB SSD and I want to partition it with BootCamp and then probably 2 or 3 portions for Data, Audio and Samples.

Is this possible if I install Windows in EFI mode and make sure the Windows Partition is GPT rather than MBR/Hybrid MBR?

Thanks

To get BootCamp uo and running, the drive needs to be in a single formatted partition and then do the others afterwards. Imagine thjis will be the same with high Sierra and APFS.
