- Get the Windows you want to install on Mac. Just head over to the Windows Store. You can choose to purchase a digital copy, which you’ll need to download (and then download this tool to create a Windows 10 disk image), or you can purchase a Windows 10 flash drive which Microsoft will ship to you.
- The next step is to open Boot Camp. To do this, simply select the Utilities folder from your Mac’s application list and open Boot Camp Assistant.
- You will be prompted to back up your data if you wish. It’s recommended. Click Continue to advance to the next screen.
- Boot Camp Assistant copies your desired Windows operating system installation files from either an ISO file, or a physical disc, onto the plugged in USB drive. Simply choose the location of the ISO file and its intended destination (the USB drive) and click Continue.
- Create a Partition for Windows and set aside 55 GB (Apple’s recommendation) for the latest Windows 10.
- With the partition completed, Boot Camp Assistant now asks you to begin installing the Windows operating system.
- After following a few on-screen prompts the installer asks which partition you wish to install the Windows operating system on. Simply select the partition labeled BOOTCAMP and choose Format.
- Continue to follow the install wizard’s commands and Windows should complete installing in around 30 minutes.
