The actual installation of Windows 10 on a Boot Camp drive or partition can also be handled through the same Mac OS Boot Camp Assistant application used to create the installer, but we’ll cover those details in another article here, specifically about installing Windows 10 in Bootcamp.

If you want to continue after that, the Mac will need a separate 30 GB or larger partition or drive to run Windows, and as always a full backupup to complete up of your Mac before modifying partitions or installing system software, be it Mac OS X or Windows. Note: We will not go into the details of installing Windows in Boot Camp on Mac for this particular solution, we will focus on creating the Windows installer for now.
That’s it, you now have a Windows 10 installer ready to create a Boot Camp partition and install Windows on a Mac. inf, BootCamp, and other files and processes that cannot be run in Mac OS X because they are Windows files. If you browse that volume, you will find that it is full of.
When you have finished creating the Windows 10 installer, you will see that the USB flash drive on the Mac has been renamed to “WININSTALL”.
Confirm that you want to format the USB flash drive – be absolutely sure you have selected the correct drive in the previous step, otherwise you may erase the wrong volume – wait a while, creating the installation drive for Windows will take some time. Select the target USB drive for the Windows 10 ISO to change to the bootable installer, then click “Continue”. Next to ‘ISO Image:’ click ‘Choose’ button, if the Windows 10 ISO is in your Downloads folder, it will probably be selected automatically, but confirm that it is the correct ISO anyway. Click on “Continue” button – you chose not to install Windows, right?. Check the box for “Create a Windows 8 or newer installation disc” – and, for now – uncheck the “Install Windows 8 or newer version” – do not skip this check mark for now, otherwise Boot Camp will try to install Windows on the Mac right away, and that’s not what we want to do here (but still). Open the Boot Camp Assistant app in / Applications / Utilities / (or launch it with Spotlight). Connect the USB flash drive to the Mac – this will erase and turn into the bootable Windows installer. Have the Windows ISO file downloaded and found somewhere easily. While we’re focusing on creating the installer for now, you may want to make a backupup start and finish up of the Mac with Time Machine, especially if you are not familiar with formatting drives.
