  1. UPDATED TUTORIAL (2020): https://youtu.be/3IhW722IMwEt – after much request this tutorial has been updated and is now more streamlined and features updated versions of the apps and files in use.

  2. after the installation can the external drive be unplugged from the pc?

  3. Allah razı olsun başkan 😀

  4. 11:20 after doing all the steps and getting to this point, the Windows hard drive doesn’t appear in the Startup Disk. The only way I can boot up from windows is going into Recovery Mode.

    After selecting the Windows drive in recovery mode, I then need to restart or shut down the computer a couple times because I get a folder with a question mark and nothing boots up. After doing this then I am able to boot up in Windows.

    I have my Mac OS installed on an external SSD. When I want to restart in OS X via Boot camp manager in Windows, it points to the internal HD and sees nothing so again, I would need to go back into Recovery Mode to find my Mac SSD.

    Feels like too much of a hassle based on my experience. Is there a better way to switch back and forth from each OS? I just want to use windows to run my Steam games without lag or performance issues while not having to reboot my computer multiple times.

  5. Not sure how long windows 10 takes to install but your process went fine no errors but when I restarted with the new windows usb drive the lwindows logo came up but now the screen is black and been like that for an hour. Computer is on and usb drive is on.

  6. VM WARE 8 does not work anymore…

  7. I did everything you said but when ever I try to boot Windows, it just gives me a error screen saying No Bootable Device Insert boot disk and press any key

  8. I am getting a completely different WintoUSB screen. It looks nothing like yours. I used the link in the description box. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

  9. A few months ago I bought an Imac 2011.
    After playing around with that old MacOS I decided to multiboot MacOS – Linux and Windows. But when I discovered my long time experience with Windows, I deleted them all and made a clean install with Windows 11. And yesterday I upgraded to Windows 11 22H2, using a trick to workaround TPM and CPU.
    So now there are only 2 wishes:
    1. How to get sound out of Windows 11, where sound out of Linux works well ..??
    2. Is it usefull to put an SSD into this 11 year old iMac or better sell it and buy an newer model ??

  10. Hello sir please help me my iMac 2011 I installed windows 10 but no sound efi mode but legecy perfect work how to install legecy mode windows

  11. Windows ✨ is awesome!
    But my speakers ain't working now 😭
    Help

  12. Can we run pc Windows 10 on Macbook pro 2010 please?

  13. if I already have windows installed on an external drive (from my other laptop), can I instantly boot from that external drive? or do I have to do the process of installing the windows from macbook from beginning? thanks

  14. Hey the files for windows support bootcamp I can’t get

  15. Hi, my computer keeps blue screen when boot into EFI boot.

  16. so if you install window on mac can you add the mac as extra monitor?

  17. Hello I ran into a problem, when I plug my external Usb flash drive in , I don't see it in disk management. So I don't really know what to do to fix this. I'm using a seagate BUP btw

  18. fantastically explained thank you so so much , you have just got rid of my 2 month headache trying to get bootcamp to work !!!! seriously thank you

  19. Hi i did the exact things as you said but mine says no bootable device — insert boot disk and press any key

  20. After the installtaion how to delete VM on mac and the free up space that VM has taken up?

  21. I chose one disk partition in an external drive to install Win2USB and the system proceeded to wipe all the other partitions in my external hard drive… everything … gone…

  22. Thank you for the support , kindly does it take too much time to install windows in the virtual machine ?

  23. bro wouldnt that be a problem if i use the external drive as a HDD ??

  24. Use virtual box is free open source is much faster than Boot Camp and faster than VMware

  25. Is it compulsory to buy VMware fusion?
