Hi, last few hours I spent trying to manually deploy Windows 10 on clean GPT disk but after applying image and rebooting I always end in unbootable state.

I manually setup drive like this:

 

select disk 0
clean
convert gpt
create partition primary size 350 #RE tools won't fit 300MB anymore :-)
format quick fs ntfs label "Windows RE tools"
assign letter t
set id de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes 0x8000000000000001
create partition efi size 100
format quick fs fat32 label System
assign letter s
create partition msr size 128
create partition primary
format quick fs ntfs label Windows
assign letter w
list volume
exit
#no recovery image partition as per documentation it is no longer needed

 

and followed by pretty common deployment:
 

 

dism /apply-image /imagefile:g:\Sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:w:\
dism /image:w:\ /set-Timezone:"Central Europe Standard Time"
md T:\Recovery\WindowsRE
attrib w:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim -h -s -r
copy w:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim T:\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim
bcdboot w:\windows /s s: /f UEFI
w:\Windows\System32\reagentc /setreimage /path T:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target w:\Windows

 

After reboot I always end unbootable (1) no partition on Option or 2) folder with ? or 3) just gray screen, make your pick, depends on who know what). There's a chance that Windows rely on some UEFI 2.0 feature, which is not available as the old guy (MBP 5.1) has 1.2 only. Or maybe I missed some step somewhere. Any ideas?
