Boot Camp Assistant User Guide

You can use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10 on your Mac.

Install Windows on your Mac

Depending on the model of your Mac, you might need an external USB drive to install Windows (you’re asked for one when you prepare your Mac for Windows if it’s required). Newer Mac models—with OS X 10.11 or later—use the internal drive to temporarily store the items you need to install Windows and don’t require a USB drive. To find out whether you need an external USB drive, see the Apple Support article Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant.

To install Windows on your Mac, do one of the following:

  • Follow the instructions in Install Windows on your newer Mac using Boot Camp.

  • Follow the instructions in Install Windows on your older Mac using Boot Camp.

Set the default operating system

After installing Windows, you can set the default operating system to either macOS or Windows. The default operating system is the one you want to use when you turn on or restart your Mac.

  1. In macOS, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Startup Disk.

  2. Click the lock icon , type an administrator name and password, then click Unlock.

  3. Select the startup disk that has the default operating system you want to use.

  4. If you want to start up using the default operating system now, click Restart.

The next time you turn on or restart your Mac, it starts up using the default operating system.

I have looked for a while now. I have found a download page here:


The latest date on anything I can find here is from 2015.


Another page directs me to use the boot camp assistant, but it requires that I have a thumb drive (ready to be reformatted), and I must reboot into MacOS I'm not going to do that. In anticipation to some responses, we can argue about it if you want but it'll be a waste of energy.


Many other situations would involve going to a web page and downloading an installer so I'm asking here for what I'm missing.


Thank you for responses that stick to the point and answer the question.


I felt like showing a bit more of the process:

1) 'install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp Assistant' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468

Ok this looks useful but the process is written for a fresh format and install of Windows.

Here's a link for:

2) 'If the Boot Camp Installer Doesn't Open...' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208495

Ok that's cool now I know I'm looking for some 'Boot Camp Installer' that needs to run on my Windows side

3) But of course there's no link to a 'Boot Camp Installer' I needed to use the Assistant from the MacOS side and the thumb drive.

4) Wait wait, here's a section called 'If you can't download or save the Windows support software:'

Camp

Oh, but this section just troubleshoots problems you have with formatting your USB drive and with USB drive recommendations.

I don't know why it's like this. Any other system would just have an installer and even an update agent for download. Is apple protecting IP and software licenses. Possible. Are they keeping users from downloading the wrong versions of stuff? Possible but there are other ways to do that.

Mac


They made a choice to handhold users through disk formatting instead of just having a download.
