MP 7,1 Problem to install drivers bootcamp in windows 10

[jccmaxon]

I have installed windows 10 in a external ssd with method WintoUsb. I install W10 perfect, but when I start to install drivers bootcamp ¡crash! ¿What happens? Start to install and (no image in monitor). I don't understand. If necessary install Windows 10 in internal ssd in Mac Pro 7,1. I want to install W10 in an external ssd.

Thanks you

@jccmaxon any solution meantime? I had the same problem twice. Windows 10 safe boot was not accessible either.
(Luckily I had a backup which I could recover; a partition backup via Winclone 8)

I feel your pain. Bootcamp is kind of awful. If you Google the exact phrase "why is bootcamp such a piece of ****" there are many pages of hits for just that expression and the level of frustration people experience with it. Since Catalina has myriad problems of its own which you can read about in the Catalina section of this forum, or also via Google, and Apple is quite likely going to transition away from Intel, I doubt any of these problems will ever be fixed.

I understand this doesn't help you, but your frustration isn't uncommon.

I have Win10 installed on an external USB drive on a MacBookPro15,1. I have just reintstalled the Bootcamp with Brigadier and there are no issues.

I had a really hard time with WinToUSB last week when I was setting up Windows 10 on an external SSD. I ended up doing a traditional bootcamp partition on my internal drive. Running sysprep as soon as I had Windows 10 running, shutting down, then using WinClone to create an image of my bootcamp partition, and then using WinClone to restore the image to the external SSD. Works flawlessly now, and I have removed the original bootcamp partition from my internal drive. Perfect for playing the new Age of Empires 2

This was exactly the way I went as well. It worked flawlessly until I had the same problem described by the thread starter. After updating/re-installing graphics drivers Windows went black after restart, directly after the blue logo start picture. No option to access safe boot either, even no automatic safe mode after 3 failed trials. My workaround was the restore of a Winclone image.

The update of Windows AMD Drivers worked now without black screen. Not sure if it was the reason, but here what I did:
I downloaded latest Bootcamp (thx @tsialex) version from March 2020 for MP7.1, updated Bootcamp in macOS, downloaded latest Windows support drivers via Bootcamp Installer and copied them for later use under Windows. After installing the updated Bootcamp package in macOS the name of my Windows disk shown in boot manager changed to "Windows", before it was "EFI-Boot" if I remember correctly. That means some of the pre-boot setting from of my (via Winclone restored) Windows volume have been changed during the Bootcamp update. Potentially this helped...
In Windows I installed finally the before downloaded Windows support drivers. Windows restart worked like it should, without the back screen issue this time. The Radeon drivers in Windows are now on version 19.40, even if AMD still offers 19.20 as "latest" version on website for MP7.1.
