No friend, I couldn't make it work. The installer took forever. If i remember correctly the original Win10 ISO Installer was on NMVe. I end up using Rufus USB iInstaller thru VM Windows. Worked like a charm. PS: Glad you're okay. Edited July 19, 2022 by Ellybz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried to install Windows on USB? This program does not create an installation USB, the program itself installs Windows. Use partition on HDD or SSD. There is a link to the video above.

cankiulascmnfye Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) A couple of days ago, I've tested booting Window from an SSD via an Exteral USB enclosure using OpenCore on my iMac11,3. It booted without any issues. Windows update even found drivers for it. So no need to use Boot Camp Assistant, etc.. This was just a test in my case, but you could install Windows on a disk on the PC, mount the EFI add the OC folder put in the drive into the mac and boot it. This eleminates all the prep work with Boot Camp Assistant and then just run Brigardier from within Windows to download and installe the relevant Bootcamp/Device drivers. Of course this only workson macs that support removable drives. Edited August 17 by cankiulascmnfye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny_thomas Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Can I use the windows app on mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cankiulascmnfye Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) @janny_thomas Yes. It's a mac app. @Sergey_Galan This tool is great. I couldn't get Windows installed on the disk before because it wasn't in the GPT format. In order to convert it to GPT I would have to format the whole disk again which I didn't want to do. With your tool it installed Windows regarless. Thanks for sharing! Edited August 18 by cankiulascmnfye 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there is support for Windows modern Macs, then perhaps the program will cope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisdak4920 Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I have a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of RAM. It runs Sonoma with OCLP, but due to the 4GB RAM limitation, I decided to delete the internal SSD and perform a clean installation of Windows 11 23H2 22635.2484 using a thumb drive with VENTOY installed. Everything went well, and all drivers work, including the keyboard backlit and SD card reader. In other words, what works in macOS Big Sur, Ventura or Sonoma also works in Windows 11, and it’s lightning fast. My MBA now runs like a Windows machine, and I am very satisfied with it compared to running Big Sur, Ventura or Sonoma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
