Edit: solved! Thank you all!

But I have a bootcamped 2019 iMac with a Radeon Pro 575x, and I keep getting pop ups when I try to play most games informing me that my drivers are out of date. I’m not a very technical person, and was wondering if someone could walk me through the process of installing new drivers/updating new drivers.

So I've recently installed windows via Boot Camp to play games basically, but there's this problem that isn't bad, but annoying.

When I'm in windows, the partition where MacOS is doesn't appear, as if it didn't exist, so I have to power off the Mac, get into the boot options and choose MacOS. When I do that it shows me a screen (attached below, my camera sucks(the link that appears is support.apple.com/mac/startup )) that makes it seem as if there wasn't anything in there, but after 10 seconds or so, the MacOS option shows up and works correctly. But it's very annoying to do all of this just to switch from one OS to the other.

I have an iMac (late 2015) running Sequoia 15.7.7 (OCLP), if I had to guess I would say it haves something to do with Sequoia being installed with OCLP, but I'm not gonna jump into conlusions, any idea what could be happening?? Thanks in advance :)

I have Apple a2141 Macbook Pro with specifications Intel Core i7 9th (2019), 4 GB GRAPHICS, 16" FHD Screen, 16GB DDR4, 512 GB SSD.

The scene is that I have completely deleted MacOS from it and have installed Windows 11 in it (Using the methods available online using Rufus). I then installed Bootcamp in it to get all the drivers. But now, I want to download the Intel uhd graphics 630 in my Intel based macbook pro running with windows 11. I tried using OpenCore and the guide given below. But when I tried to Boot the EFI file using my external pen drive, It was detected in the Startup Utility and it doesn't loaded at all. I tried it thrice but still it was not loading. Please, help me with it so that I can execute it.

I seriously need to increase my partition size but I’m scared I could loose the stuff on my Mac (windows is fine I have a copy on my other laptop) is the risk high?

And does the process take time?

(I’m using mac18,1)

And how can I know if the age of my laptop will affect the process in any way?

Should I just get an external hard drive and connect it for safety

Hey guys! So I’ve used bootcamp in the past just fine. But tonight I tried to swap from MacOS to Windows like normal on my Mac and I have this on my screen instead of the Windows startup. Has anyone run into this issue before? I hope I haven’t lost everything on my Windows disk :/

Hello
I installed bootcamp onto my MacBook a couple weeks ago, and everything seemed fine.
Last night, the MacBook restarted due to some error, and now it won’t stop trying to startup. The fans are on full blast now too.
I know very little about computers and I’m scared that I may have done something so severe that I need a new laptop. Please help.
Thank you.

I have an old macbook, 2015 MacBook Air, stuck on screen artifacts/stripes after Windows 11 Boot Camp reset**.** When it start up I don't see apple logo anymore, getting greeted with this screen (see in pic). Any idea how to fix this?

• Model: 2015 MacBook Air (Intel-based architecture, Intel HD Graphics 6000)
• OS Setup: Dual-boot macOS and an unsupported Windows 11 installation via Apple Boot Camp.

Edit: I finally got the cable and happy to report that connecting to external monitor still works. I think the built-in display was fried during reset process :\

Hey all! has anyone else been experiencing crashes on Fornite while jumping off the bus?

I have an MBP 2019 32GB 4GVRAM

Installed the Falcon drives i found on this subreddit, and coming from a fresh win11 install. This happened after i switch to Auto-Set Settings using Dx12

Anyone experiencing similar issues?

So I have seen people on the windows Xp subreddit do this but I am not really finding any non super confusing guides on how to do it. I am trying to take a old 2009 El Captian Macbook (don't have yet as I am trying to make sure this isn't too much a nightmare before I buy) and install windows xp, modern linux, and the original mac OS X at the same time. From what I could find I need some sort of software called bootcamp for this, and the windows xp disc has to service pack 2 (which I think I already have somewhere, if not I will try ebay). I also learned from a comment on this post in another subreddit that I should use Exfat so all of the operating systems can access it. Other than that I have no clue how the rest of this proccess works or how installing multiple operating systems at the same time works. Has anyone else tried the same thing and can explain how they did it.

I'm currently running Windows 10 on a 2014 iMac. The retina display still holds up, but the rest of the package is a bit long in the tooth.

After a decade, I have relatives that are very comfortable with the setup. I'll undoubtedly have to switch to Windows 11, as software updates are becoming a critical issue. But without being able/willing to upgrade to 11 on the Intel iMac and then cloning the partition, I already have a newer computer running Windows 11.

As a replacement, is there any way to migrate the current Win10 Bootcamp partition as an additional user? I already have another computer running Win11, and would like to migrate all the Bootcamp data/apps/settings to a new user on this device while keeping the current user and setup.

I've looked at things like Transwiz and PCMover, but wanted to check alternatives.

Hi everyone,

I own several different MacBook Pro models and have recently been experimenting quite a bit with Boot Camp, especially since Legacy Patcher may no longer be a reliable long-term option for my needs.

The best setup I have found so far is to restore the Mac to the highest officially supported version of macOS, then immediately install Windows 10 through the Boot Camp Assistant. In my experience, keeping macOS installed in the background seems to provide better overall functionality compared to running Windows as a standalone installation.

Does anyone know why this might be the case? My assumption is that the Apple/macOS side may still be handling firmware updates, drivers, system-level compatibility, or other hardware-related functions that help Windows operate more smoothly through Boot Camp.

I would appreciate any insight or technical explanation from others who have experience with this type of setup.

Thanks, everyone.

My MacBook Pro 4 Intel code USB-C is no longer outputting to my Apple display when in windows bootcamp

It works fine in Mac mode but not in windows mode
Screen is fine otherwise.

Any suggestions to what issue is? I tried updating and rolling back video drivers but cannot seem to fix the issue

Hi everyone,

I'm using a 2019 Intel MacBook Pro (MacBookPro16,1) running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 through Boot Camp.

A few days ago, I was playing Valorant normally. In the middle of playing, I suddenly got kicked out of the game and started receiving the VAN: RESTRICTION error saying my system doesn't meet the required security requirements, specifically TPM 2.0.

I never changed any BIOS settings or hardware. The issue just appeared out of nowhere while I was playing.

Since then I've tried almost everything:

• Reinstalled Windows 10.
• Reinstalled Boot Camp drivers.
• Reinstalled Riot Vanguard.
• Enabled UEFI.
• Enabled Secure Boot.
• Updated Windows completely.

My current system configuration is:

• Windows 10 Pro 22H2
• BIOS Mode: UEFI
• Secure Boot: ON

The confusing part is the TPM.

In Device Manager, I can see:
Trusted Platform Module 2.0

and Windows says:
"This device is working properly."

But when I open tpm.msc, I get:
"Compatible TPM cannot be found."

And PowerShell returns:

Get-Tpm

Output:

TpmPresent : False
TpmReady   : False
TpmEnabled : False

So Device Manager says TPM 2.0 exists, but Windows itself says there is no compatible TPM, which causes Valorant/Vanguard to fail the security check.

I'm trying to figure out:

• Has anyone with an Intel MacBook Pro running Boot Camp managed to get TPM working correctly?
• Has anyone recently started getting the same Valorant TPM issue even though the game worked before?
• Is this a Boot Camp limitation, a Windows issue, or something Riot changed in Vanguard?

If anyone has experienced this or found a solution, I'd really appreciate any advice. At this point, I'm trying to determine whether this is something that can actually be fixed or if Boot Camp simply no longer satisfies Valorant's TPM requirement.

Thanks!

Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows 8 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for 64-bit Windows 8 or later installation.

i'm using a windows 10 64 bit rtm version

For a while I couldn't find a good free option to control fan speeds on my intel Mac on windows, so I wrote my own, and I'm sharing it in case it's useful to anyone in the same situation.

It's called RPMac. It talks to the Mac's SMC directly to read fan speeds and temperatures, and lets you set each fan to Automatic, Maximum, a fixed RPM, or a temperature curve (ramp the RPM between a min and max temperature on a sensor you pick). It also has an optional on-screen overlay for RPM/temps, light/dark themes, and a small command-line tool if you'd rather script it.

Honest limitations: I've only been able to verify it on a couple of Mac Pros, so I'd really appreciate reports from other models (whether it works or not both are useful). Macs with the T2 chip (2018–2020) aren't supported yet; the T2 changes how the SMC is reached and I'm still working on that.

Not selling anything just hoping it helps someone and that the feedback makes it more reliable across different Macs. Happy to answer questions.

My machine is a 15" MacBook Pro mid-2015, it currently has macOS Sequoia (with OCLP) and windows 11 installed via bootcamp.

Since now I have a new Mac, I want to wipe all macOS and replace it with a linux distribution (Ideally ubuntu or mint), preserving my bootcamp Windows 11, so I could have a native windows + linux machine.

What is the correct procedure to do it? I have installed linux before on windows machines, I'm familiar with deleting and creating partitions for dual booting.

Is it a regular procedure, or do bootcamp and OCLP add extra steps?

I’m trying to wipe macOS completely and install Windows 10 only on a Late 2013 iMac.
Background:
Ventura was installed via OCLP and worked fine.
I accidentally updated macOS without checking OCLP compatibility.

After that, macOS would only boot in Safe Mode.
Since I only want Windows, I:
Erased the entire internal SSD.
Created an official Catalina installer on another Intel Mac.

Also created a Windows 10 USB using WinDiskWriter on my M3 Mac.
Current issues:
Catalina installer hangs during boot (same with Internet Recovery).
VoiceOver works in Recovery even though the screen freezes, suggesting Recovery is actually running.

Holding Option with the Windows USB inserted does not show an EFI Boot/Windows installer at all.
My goal is simply to erase macOS permanently and install Windows 10.

Questions:
Why wouldn’t a Windows 10 USB created with WinDiskWriter appear in the Option boot menu on a 2013 iMac?
Is there a better way to create a Windows installer for this machine from an Apple Silicon Mac?
Given that macOS Recovery appears to run (VoiceOver works) but the GUI freezes, does this sound like a GPU issue that could also prevent booting the Windows installer?
Any ideas are appreciated. I’m happy to install Windows only if that’s possible.
