Youll have a dual-boot system with your Mac OS.
This BOOTCAMP label will reappear later after installing Boot Camp.įinally, I should point out that not all releases of Windows 10 have been compatible with every Mac model that Apple officially states are capable of running Windows 10. Using Boot Camp Assistant, you can install Windows 7 on your Intel-based Mac computer in its own partition. The BOOTCAMP label will disappear after formatting. You can NTFS format the partition labeled BOOTCAMP by highlighting the partition, then selecting the Format button. The message below occurred because the partition labeled BOOTCAMP was not NTFS formatted. The message below occurred because you EFI booted from the flash drive. If you use the Mac Startup Manager, then you should choose the icon labeled Windows to BIOS boot from the flash drive.
If you are not sure the Windows Support Software is for your Mac, then use the Boot Camp Assistant to download the files. For you model Mac, there should also be an AutoUnattend.xml file in the root folder of the ExFat formatted volume on the flash drive. If you do this correctly, then the $WinPEDriver$ and BootCamp folders should appear in the root folder of the ExFat formatted volume on the flash drive.
Then I boot up using my Windows USB drive with EFI boot. I have used Bootcamp assistant to partition my Mac mini.
