HOW TO INSTALL WINDOWS ON A MAC

Boot Camp

Boot Camp helps you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac. After installing, restart your Mac to switch between macOS and Windows.

What You Need

·         An Intel-based Mac

·         A Microsoft Windows installation media or disk image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 7 or later
Read more about system requirements to find out whether your Mac supports installing a specific version of Windows, or to learn about installing older versions of Windows. If you’re installing Windows for the first time, use a full installation (not an upgrade) disc or disk image.

·         An Apple keyboard, mouse, or track pad, or a USB keyboard and mouse

·         At least 55 GB of free disk space on your startup drive

·         For most Mac models, you also need a blank 16 GB or larger USB flash drive.

Install and Open Boot Camp Assistant

Connect a blank USB flash drive

Format your Windows Partition

When you complete the assistant, Mac restarts to the Windows installer. When you’re 

asked where you want to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition, then click Format.This step is only required if you’re using a flash drive or optical drive to install Windows. In all other cases, the correct partition is selected and automatically formatted for you..

Install Windows and Restart your Computer

After Windows is installed, you can switch between macOS and Windows. Use the Startup Disk preference pane in macOS, or the Boot Camp system tray item in Windows to select your startup disk, then restart your computer.

Boot Camp comes with your Mac and lets you install Microsoft Windows. No need to download anything yourself — just open Boot Camp Assistant and it will guide you through the rest.
