Boot Camping My Mac

31.12.2020

If you're looking to install Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp is the best way to go. Whether it's for a great gaming experience or you just want to try out Windows 10 on Apple's svelte hardware, here's how to get it all set up.

Boot Camp for Mac OS X Lion (10.7) supports Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions, 32-bit or 64-bit. Boot Camp for Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) supports Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business or Ultimate, and Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate. And since you’re Boot Camping into Windows on your Mac, I’m less bothered by putting you out of commission for a bit, since you’ll always have macOS to use if you absolutely need to do. From cold boot hold down four keys on startup: command + option + p + r for TWO full restart cycles and listen/watch for the system to restart there will be a 'bong' on each restart. It can be harder if you don't have a wired keyboard. Use the STARTUP DISK control panel to change the default boot system.

What you'll need before you install Windows 10 on your Mac

Boot Camp For Mac Download

If you own an iMac with 3TB or more, check out this Apple Support document for more information on installing Windows 10 on your machine through Boot Camp.

Do you have a Mac that can run Windows 10? Good! Make sure you have at least 64GB of free space on your hard drive for the Windows installation. During the installation process, you can set the Windows partition to whatever size you want, as long as the drive has enough storage.

Finally, update your Mac's OS to ensure there are no compatibility problems. You'll also want to perform a backup of your Mac in the (rare) case that something goes wrong.

  1. Click the Show hidden icons button in the Windows 10 taskbar.
  2. Click the Boot Camp button.
  3. Click Restart in OS X.

Your Mac will now restart, and you'll be brought right back to macOS. To get back to Windows 10, and indeed another way to switch from Windows 10 to macOS, is to restart your Mac and hold down the Option key on your keyboard until a boot menu appears. From here, you can choose which OS to load.

Some things you may have tried already:
Hold down the OPTION or ALT key on startup, early on, should bring up a boot selection screen.
Holding down the mouse will open the optical drive so you an pop out or in a DVD (Leopard or Windows)
'c' on startup to boot from any bootable DVD
From Leopard you can go to Utilities menu and Startup Disk instead of continuing to the Install process
'x' to boot into OS X
Zapping pram/nvram to wipe out the startup disk default path. From cold boot hold down four keys on startup: command + option + p + r for TWO full restart cycles and listen/watch for the system to restart there will be a 'bong' on each restart.
It can be harder if you don't have a wired keyboard.
Use the STARTUP DISK control panel to change the default boot system. When you installed Windows it sets it to Windows partition.
When you install the Apple BootCamp drivers and services by putting the Leopard DVD in while in Windows it will prompt to install and run Apple setup which adds a startup disk control panel to Windows as well as time synchronization, wireless, and other features. Which you want to do once Windows is updated and has settled down.
The next time you are in Windows, put the 10.5 DVD in and get that done. If you have, you should see some Apple services and control panels added.
