today, we're gonna be installing Windows 10 onto a Mac book pro using boot camp.
This is going to be using an official Windows 10 ISO image from Microsoft, along with the official
boot camp software on Mac Os
La la, la, la, la, la Yeah, What's up, guys?
My name is George is a freelance video marketer based in north of England.

I share content around tech filmmaking and freelancing.
So that is your vibe and hit.
Subscribe and welcome to the channel.
Today we're going to be completing the boot camp process.
This is quite a long process, and some people can get a little bit lost in it.
But don't worry, it's pretty simple.
It could just be a bit time consuming.
And as in the UK at the moment, it's winter.
The sun's gonna set in about an hour.
I'm hoping this is done in the next hour, so we are racing against the
sun people racing against the sun.
For this process, you're going to need a few things.
You'll need one of these Mac devices, be it a MacBook MacBook Pro MacBook Air Mac
Mini iMac or Mac Pro.
I'll drop a link to the Apple requirements for all the different hardware that is actually compatible
with boot camp and with up to date versions of Windows 10, You will also need to make sure that you've
updated your Mac device to the latest version of Mac OS.
The current version of Mac OS for me right now is Mac OS Catalina
10.15 point seven.
So you will make sure you go into about this Mac and updates or whatever the latest version of Mac
OS is.
Before you complete this process on your Mac computer, you will need at least 64 gigabytes
of free space in which we can instal Windows 10 and also instal any
relevant applications once we're using it as a Windows machine.
The minimum requirement is 48 year bites, but I would recommend anywhere from 64 to
1 28 to 56 to instal Windows 10 with boot camp.
You will need a blank USB flash drive with at least eight year bites of space.
But I would always say, you know, if you go a bit bigger, dude, just in case the Windows 10 I S
O has increased in size.
By the time you are trying this process that leads me onto the last thing that you're going to need and what we're gonna jump into doing right
now, which is you will need a download of Windows 10 from Microsoft dot com.
Okay, so on your device, you want to go into your browser?
I currently use Microsoft Edge and at the top, we want to search
Windows 10 s o, then gets Microsoft dot
com and then we're gonna go through the
download process.
It's very simple.
Just want to pick windows 10 product language.
Select your product language that you want to have your windows 10 installed as because it will make your life
easier.
I'm assuming you don't want to be translating every time you do something.
And then we need 64 bit download, and this will then take
anywhere from 10 minutes to half an hour.
Download mine security saying about 15 minutes.
But I have one downloaded already.
Pause the video.
Take some time to download that.
I s O Before you move on in my downloads, I have a copy of the windows 10 letters
s O here and the full size is 6.22 gigabytes.
So that shows that you definitely do need at least eight gigabytes on this drive.
Next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna pop this USB into the mat device.
Yeah, and we're going to open this up
and we can see here that I already have a disc image created on this drive.
I'm going to go into disc utility and I'm going to format list.
I'm just gonna name this man, Mac, because it's my Mac.
The site is now done.
The next thing I want to do is you only go up to our spotlight search and search
boot camp assistant.
This will then come up.
This is quite a straightforward process, but it can have some hiccups,
and a lot of the hiccups kind of come further down the line at the beginning.
Essentially is just sort of like installing any piece of software like it's got quite helpful window up to
their design.
Everything makes sense.
It's all explained quite well.
Each of these options is actually helpful for the boot camp process.
Unless you just want to go straight for instal Windows 10 or later version you can just select
or three you can see under option to that, you have download the Windows support software from
Apple.
This support software will be designed specifically for each map.
This allows us to use apple keyboard, mouse trackpad and built in camera so that you can actually use it
as a full piece of software.
On my previous version of this video, I think I hadn't made this part clear, which might be part of the reason why some
people have gotten into using Windows 10 via Bootcamp.
And the keyboard was really working properly and the trackpad wasn't working with all of its features.
So you wanna make sure that all of these are arctic under here we have the
image you want to make sure you click.
Choose go to where you have your ISO image located.
So I have mine here just in my downloads.
So I want to click on that open and then we can see here that we have our destination disc, which we can
see here is my SanDisk 32 gig.
Some drive it.
Continue.
This will raise our Dr.
We've already formatted this in disc utility, so we do not care about this being formatted again.
This is now just gonna copy over our Windows files for us.
Okay, We're back.
So that actually for me took about 20 minutes, which is quite a long time.
So I hope you had a coffee and a snack, etcetera, etcetera.
And we are now past that stage.
If you did not take all the options there, it might have taken a few minutes shorter.
But if you take all the options as I did then it should have taken between 15 20
minutes.
So now we have the option of creating our windows partition, and here we can see
that the minimum space required as I mentioned before, is 48 gigabytes.
So if you did want to maximise the full usage of your hard drive for your
Mac, then keeping out 48 gigabytes is probably a smart option.
Especially if you have something like 128 gigabytes, MacBook Air or MacBook
Pro 13 inch or something like that.
But in my case, I'm actually going to bring windows up to about
128.
Gig as that is a small Mac book and I
always think my first Mac book called 100 28 Gigs into All.
So if Windows set something like that, then I'm cool with it.
Fine.
I'm going for 100 and 30.
Get Apparently I can't get it like two specific.
Okay, so that's it.
We've got it set 138 for Windows.
We can move on and hit.
Instal.
Now it's asking for our admin password.
So pop that in or get the person who is the admins come up in for you at the
bottom.
We then have a little notice saying Partitioning disc.
The system may be responsive.
Please do not power off the computer Already.
Start until the operation is complete.
That is important to remember.
Sometimes it can be a bit flashy, and it might look like it's about to die.
But don't worry.
Hold on tight.
It will be done.
It's getting It's getting dark here.
Now I'm gonna have to transition into a dark room mode.
Somehow, mid shoe.
It's tricky.
Just while this is loading, you can feel free to skip ahead.
It's been weird in winter shooting.
I like to shoot some stuff during the day.
But it's tricky because, like the light goes quite quick and no
wins is just a bit tricky to shoot in.
I don't mind I'm shooting in the dark, but I don't want to shoot in the dark during the day.
I mean yeah, OK, so as you can see, it's getting quite dark.
So I'm going to put lights on stuff, and we've just got up to after about
40 40 minutes of waiting for that copy over and partition the disc, we've
been asked to put in the password, so that may have taken the same amount of time for you.
This is the longest that's taken for me ever so
cool.
And now the Mac is going to flash a few times and shut down.
So hopefully that screen record just survived.
If it didn't, it's just a simple text box popping up to ask your password,
and the Mac is now rebooting, so I'm just gonna quickly swap around the
setup.
Forgive me.
It will just be the camera recording the laptop screen for this period of the video, but
it's just what we're gonna have to do, because I won't be able to use screen recorder during the windows
installation process.
So bear with me.
Okay, So we can see just at the top of the screen, we've got a little flashing
symbol.
This means that windows is starting up for us.
Just bear with me while I turn on some ambient lighting for the new
scene.
So that's good.
We now have Windows 10 appearing for us.
We are starting to get somewhere a little bit closer.
This part of the process will take a for a long time.
That last partitioning process usually imitates about 15 to 20 minutes,
but this time it took us.
I mean about 45 50 minutes.
In the end, it took quite some time.
This next part of the process in terms of actually installing Windows 10
via a usual windows instal method as the one of blank PC will take
somewhere in the region of 30 minutes to an hour.
Okay, so this has now been a bit frozen for a few minutes, which normally it
takes a couple of seconds but actually has frozen.
So I'm actually going to do a forced reboot.
PC is very, very hot.
Mm.
Why should leave a little bit longer.
Usually by this point, we would actually be part way into the windows.
Instal.
So I am a little bit concerned this isn't going to proceed, and actually might have
just sort of crashed.
So I'm gonna do a force reboot and then try boot back into windows manually by holding
down the L key when we reboot so we can hold down the power button.
Yeah, it's powered off.
Oh, no, that's not what I wanted either.
Okay, cool.
So that worked.
So I've got to host D Windows E f ibu.
We're going to go for windows,
so hopefully this will get us back to where you work.
Yes, we've got the expat flashing up.
Okay.
Yeah, we had the windows pop up again, and we're back to the underscore.
What we're hoping for here is the windows logo again.
And then with the actual booting up circle.
Okay, But we have got our windows like again.
And yes, we've got our circle.
That is hopefully gonna be getting into a start if you have the same thing that
I just had where the windows logo was not moving and you weren't getting anywhere.
Make sure you do what I just did and go back through
force reboot boot up again, hold down bolts, and then you'll boot into
the version of windows.
Okay, Cool.
So now we are windows set up.
This is going to be pretty standard for what you'd expect for beating up into a Windows
computer.
Whether you've done that much in the past or not, it will be pretty much what
you'd expect.
Okay, Cool.
So we're just gonna zip through this as quickly as we can.
Activation key.
I do not have a product key, so I'm gonna select.
I don't have a product key or just hit next.
You do not need a product key to activate windows.
You could actually run this forever without a product key.
Product key for Windows only gets you customisation options.
So actually, you don't need it to run the windows machine.
You will just be limited to a stock desktop background, et cetera.
We're just going to go for actually being here for Windows 10 pro.
That's what I run on my main windows machine.
I accept licence terms.
We have our partition that is set to boot camp hit next for anyone that's
been waiting a long time during this process.
I have actually just been reading some of my Kindle while this is
going on.
It's been kind of a weirdly nice time mid video to do some reading.
Each of these steps here are nice and easy to track because we actually get percentage increases as they're going.
So we know everything is going to go along much quicker.
Okay, So now Windows is going to restart in order to continue
trying to boot into Mac again.
Don't.
But into Matt,
Give me windows.
Yes.
OK, we've got the flashing underscore windows turn.
We still have a bit more of an installation process to go.
That essentially just means that all the components are now booted into our partition that we set up.
So now it will be a case of actually setting up our Windows user
account.
Yes.
Starting services.
Getting devices ready, etcetera, etcetera.
Okay.
Still a little mini restart again.
All of our services are supposedly ready.
Okay?
And we've got our boat up again.
Just a moment.
Not gonna lie.
I think one hour 21 is longer than a moment.
Okay?
Right here.
We go.
Okay.
We are past all of our borrowing.
Yes, and no questions.
A lot of it is sort of just saying no to Microsoft using your data.
Um, and this might take several minutes.
I just wonder, like when they say several minutes, Do they mean over an hour were about
an hour 24.
So thanks for sticking with us on this one.
I hope you're nearly there.
I hope you've been getting through all the same points if you've got any problems, but I haven't
hit.
Drop them in the comments.
Okay, We are now into a version of Windows 10, so it might look a little bit
weird.
This is interesting.
Compares the last time I did this, Microsoft Edge is now actually the
updated Browse the web myself.
The edge, Maybe later, um, is the chromium version, which is very interesting.
If you want to go see some videos on Microsoft Edge, you can go check out this player.
Stop here.
Might be interesting.
Um, so we've got the boot camp installer.
This is essentially the windows counterparts of what we were using on Mac.
And as you can tell, it looks exactly as you expect.
Do you wish Microsoft would improve the overall ui of stock Windows
applications?
Like what?
What BP is that What is it?
It looks like a dodgy restaurant menu.
Okay, so now boot camp has just optimised our
windows interface, and this is much more to a normal scale that we would expect.
So we got our start bar.
We've got a task bar at the bottom start menu everywhere.
It's absolutely fine.
Everything is looking good.
Mouse motion is normal.
Trump had is good.
Okay, so now boot camp instal completed.
Finish.
You must restart your system.
Yeah, Cool.
Really.
Start for us one more time.
Mhm.
Yeah.
We are now at a proper windows log in screen.
So we've got Oh, mate.
When did I hit the hash key?
Great.
My name is George hashtag.
Okay, cool.
Some log in normally.
Cool.
We're in.
Windows is set.
Okay, so here we have it.
Here is our Windows 10.
Ready MacBook Pro with bootcamp installed.
This is with all the hardware running.
Absolutely fine.
But now, if you want to get back into Mac os, what you'll need to
do is shut down, as you typically would with the
Windows device.
You could just hold the power button.
But you want to get on power, shut down completely
tax advice.
And then in order to get back into Mac OS, what we're gonna do is we're gonna hold down the
l key to then hop back in and pick.
You might be thinking right now.
Do you still need to keep the U.
S.
B in?
You can now pull the USB out.
You can format this, use it for whatever you need to in the future.
It doesn't really matter now, so now we're gonna hit power again.
Hold the salt.
I always tend to sort of give it a tap just after its into booting up mode.
We now have our Windows and Mac options.
So finally, go back into Macintosh HD.
I am just hit that.
And now we're booting back into Mac.
And then the same thing applies.
If you want to boot back into windows when you shut down from Mac OS, hold down the bulky
again and then select the windows option.
That is it for me today, guys.
