After sweating during several days and finally with the phone assistance of a very kind Apple supporter who spent over an hour on the phone to help me. I finally managed to reinstall Bootcamp Windows 10 in my MacPro End 2013.
For unknown reasons it had gotten corrupt and non working.
While I am astounded and admiring the patience and goodwill of that guy Christian sitting in North Germany, I have now 2 (two) entries both labeled Windows in my option-key start-up manager
The first one leads to the installed and running Windows 10.
The second one... offers to begin to install it.
Needless to say I do not need the second Windows entry and would never risk to reinstall a Windows over an existing one I had very great difficult to obtain, (thanks to that incredibly friendly and patient Apple supporter).
On the other size I must acknowledge that it does not cause any harm even if it remains there forever...
Not being at all any kind of OSX system expert I have no idea of:
1) where in the OSX system the option-key start up manager actually sits ???
2) if it is possible to edit and remove the second unnecessary Windows entry ???
3) should this be possible, how to recognize which one is the unnecessary one to avoid the danger of removing the good one which brings me to the running Windows OS !!!
4) how the editing (should it be possible) could take place in a fool proof, risky free way
If someone with the required knowledge can help me, I would be very grateful!
