On your Mac, do the following steps in order.
 


STEP  1: Check for software updates
Before you install Windows, install all macOS updates.

  1. On your Mac, quit all open apps
  2. Choose Apple menu  2f77cc85238452e25cb517130188bf99.png > System Settings, click General 7c4faef8373d3d73052729c76d485046.png in the sidebar, then click Software Update on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
  3. Install all available macOS updates.

If your Mac restarts after installing an update, open Software Update again to install any additional updates.
 


STEP  2: Prepare your Mac for Windows
Boot Camp Assistant prepares your Mac by creating a new partition for Windows named BOOTCAMP and downloading the Boot Camp support software aka "drivers"

Important: If you're using a Mac laptop, connect it to a power source before continuing.

  1. On your Mac, open Boot Camp Assistant ef123bfd86912dfe8cc77bd7141fa9b5.png , located in /Application/Utilities.
  2. At the Introduction screen, click Continue.
    The system is checked for total available disk space.This process may take a long time to complete (you can click the Stop button to skip this process).
  3. If you have only one internal disk, choose the Windows ISO image, specify the partition size by dragging the divider between the macOS and Windows partitions, then click install.

    Important: You can't resize the partition later.

     
  4. If you have multiple internal disk, follow the onscreen instructions to select and format the disk you want to install Windows on and to choose the Windows ISO image.
     
    • If you select your startup disk: you can create an additional partition for Windows. Specify the partition size by dragging the divider between the macOS and Windows partitions.
       
    • If you select an APFS-formatted disk: You can either create an additional partition on the disk for Windows, or erase the entire disk and create a partition for Windows. If you choose to create an additional partition, specify the partition size by dragging the divider between the macOS and Windows partitions.
       
    • If you select a non-APFS-formatted disk: You can erase the entire disk and create a partition for Windows.

If Boot Camp is already present on the disk you select, you also have the option to uninstall it.

Important: You can't resize the partition later.

When this step is complete, the Windows installer starts.

 


STEP  3: Install Windows

  1. In the Windows installer, follow the onscreen instructions.
    When the installation is finished, your Mac automatically restarts using Windows.
  2. Follow the onscreen instruction to set up Windows.

    Important: Do not click Cancel Button in any of the installer dialogs.

    If a message appears that says the software you're installing has not passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.

    You don't need to respond to installer dialogs that appear only briefly during installing, but if a dialog asks you to install device software, click install.

    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you must respond to. Look behind open windows.
