But then when I got to step 3 I started running into some issues.

Also make note of which drives and partitions remain (e.g.

System and Storage hard drives), and be super careful to not erase the wrong one.

This reduces the attack surface for malware that relies on modifying system files by preventing any user, whether with system administrator (root) privileges or not from modifying a number of operating system directories and files.

If youre like me, you havent touched an optical disk in a few years and prefer the ease and speed of using a USB flash drive instead.

Bootcamp Mini Download A Developer

Then it will say you need to download a developer tool from Apple.

Agree to download it.

You dont need to install the whole X-Code, if it asks.) Once its been installed (its automatic), you need to go BACK to Terminal and run that command again.

Bootcamp Mini Windows 10 Will Install

Windows 10 will install and run without them but not very well and a lot of hardware either wont work, or wont work very well until you install the drivers.

Windows 10 requires a GPT disk when using EFI boot, so we need to revert this change using a tool called GPT fdisk (gdisk).

You will probably get a warning that its not a signed application, if you do open OSX System Preferences - Security and Privacy - General and you should see a note down the bottom about the application you just tried to open with an offer to open it again.

If not, type q to quit without saving your changes and double check the device number.

Note that gdisk wont confirm a change; itll just show you a new experts prompt.

Be ready to hold down the Options Alt key after each reboot, but instead of selecting the USB device named EFI Boot select the newly created hard disk labelled the EFI Boot instead to ensure the installation continues smoothly.

This is the same method you will use to choose between booting into OSX or booting into Windows once setup is complete.

Audio was the only immediately noticable issue, though strangely the audio provided through my 2008 Apple Cinema display works without issue.

This may be your problem if you get an error when selecting the partition in the Windows install that says We couldnt create a new partition or locate an existing one.

After Step 7 in the iFixit guide you have access to the drive connections.

The one furthest from the power supply is the top drive (one just under the antenna plate).

Installing the Bootcamp drivers at the end will break the Windows installation.

If your mac has a separate graphics card, as the iMacs do, this wont apply.

I had an issue saying only 2.48 GB usable memory.

Do you think using USB installation could cause the memory issue too because I am kinda confused here Thank you.

The screen to allocate the window partition will appear and then install win10.

The sound card will work once you install the bootcamp driver.
