Apr 01, 2014 I have followed boot camp and it is very straight forward, just not working on this iMac. I have done it on a mac book, no problems. I am assuming there might be something wrong with my superdrive, as I have tried pretty much everything. No Windows 10 Bluetooth drivers for mid-2011 MacBook Pro using BootCamp I have installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my mid-2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch. I had been running Windows 7 with no problems. Boot Camp Assistant prepares your Mac by creating a new partition for Windows named BOOTCAMP and downloading the Boot Camp support software. Important: If you’re using a portable Mac, connect it to a power source before continuing. Feb 01, 2020 or do I have to wait when they officially release the date to support older versions like my 2011 Mac mini. Apple has no plans to support W10 on 2011 or older models. See Install Windows on your older Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference.

UPDATE:See comment section below this post.
This guide is so complicated because the iMac's 27' Mid 2011 SuperDrive doesn't recognise the windows install disc. It's useless.
IMPORTANT: Unplug all external and physical hard drives (where possible) that you won't be installing to to avoid accidentally erasing them. 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. Traktor scratch pro 2 crack.
RECOVERY: If you nuke your machine, restore your time machine backup. Instructions here.
Windows 8.1
UPDATE: Because of the issues listed later on, I've decided that Windows 8 via Boot Camp is futile. Trying Windows 7 SP1 instead.
- Remove your firmware key by restarting, holding alt, choosing recovery, then in 'utilities' choose 'firmware assistant' or something
- Download the 'bootcamp drivers' from here, as of 15 September 2014, for the iMac Mid 2011, these are the latest
- Create a Time Machine Backup
- Create a mac bootable windows usb drive by either (windows install dvd will not boot on EFI systems):
- Using 'Bootcamp Assistant' on your Macbook Air
- Or by modifying your iMac's Bootcamp Assistant using
sudo vi /Applications/Utilities/Bootcamp Assistant/Contents/Info.plist
and adding it to the HAR listing, the USB listing and the EFI listing. Remove 'Pre' from the USB and EFI listings if it is there - Create the partition by either:
- Using 'Bootcamp Assistant'. Then to avoid the error
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks.
usegdisk
to delete the 'Hybrid MBR' setup that 'Bootcamp Assistant' created, gdisk instructions here - Using 'Disk Utility' to resize the OSX partition and leave the free space free
- Boot into the installation media by restarting, hold alt key, and selecting 'EFI'
- Install windows on the partition
- To avoid the error
Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installation. To install Windows, restart the installation.
later when installing, delete the first partition calledEFI
on the partition screen1. UPDATE: This is likely the cause of Issue 1 - On the partition screen delete partitions 4 and above and use the unallocated space for the windows partition
Issues
![Mac boot camp mid 2011 mac pro Mac boot camp mid 2011 mac pro](/uploads/1/2/6/1/126142090/712984390.png)
- Once all installed. Windows can boot to OSX, but OSX and Windows cannot boot to Windows (error
No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key
). Instead you must use the 'alt' on startup technique. Doing a Windows Repair & Diagnose Startup Problems does not fix the issue.- Other possible fix. this one works
- Audio doesn't work. Updating to latest Realtek drivers doesn't fix it. May be related to Hardware updates with Windows Update. Could be AMD drivers instead.
- Only 2.5GB of Memory is available out of my 16GB. I have four 4GB sticks inside the iMac and running Windows 8.1 x64. Can not figure out how to fix this.

Windows 7 SP1
- Doesn't work when using the Macbook Air's Bootcamp Assistant to create the USB Drive. Errors with:
No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key
error - Testing via unbootin now.

Ubuntu

- Don't use the 14.04 AMD64 MAC image, it doesn't boot! Ironic and ANNOYING! Same annoying result for unetbootin on GUID, MBR, and via dd, and dcfldd methods.
- Instead use the 14.04.1 AMD64 image, it does boot. Tested with unetbootin on GUID and MBR, both work.
Troubleshooting
Mac Boot Camp Mid 2011 Mac Ssd Upgrade And Cnet
- Install rEFInd, it's the next version of rEFIt. It will show all the available boot devices, even ones that can't be booted (
No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key
error). Often the 'Fallback' boot device is the one you want. You always want the EFI boot device. - There is a 'EFI Boot' that is a Windows 8 Recovery still persistant, even though the entire HDD has been wiped and reinstalled via the OSX USB Install.
- This guide which uses diskpart's
clean all
works for getting rid of that recovery sector.- If you then install windows 8.1 ontop of the new cleaned partition it still has the audio and memory issues as before. Seems like it could be an EFI thing.
- This guide which uses diskpart's
- This may be a better install guide than the usual ones.
- This may work for booting from the external superdrive.
- Without Bootcamp (just the alt on startup) just get a black screen with blinking cursor
- Have not yet tried with bootcamp.
- This tool or this tool may also work.
- Rufus EFI only on ? only boots, but doesn't load. Just hangs on boot.
- Refus EFI&BIOS on MBR doesn't boot, shows windows logo then does the
No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key
error - Microsoft's tool doesn't detect the USB drive (tried on VMWare Virtual Machine and on a Windows Physical Machine)
- This guide could work for using VMWare to get the initial setup going.Description: send me if u made anything with my loop:)juice wrld, lil uzi vert, trippie redd, lil skies, yung bans, xxxtentacion, nav, lil xan, lil peep, emotional trap, r&b sad, instrumnetal, emotional instrumental, ambient trap, smokepurpp, lil pump, ronny j, ski mask the slump god, 808 mafia, oogie mane, playboi carti, ybn nahmir, tay-k, lil yachty, lil gnar, comethazine, zaytoven, iann dior, poorstacy, internet money, sad, bandit, polo g, lil tjay, lil tecca, juice wrld, melodic, bell, bells.

- This guide could work for getting Windows 7 to boot on EFI.
- Didn't work. Had the same hard freeze issue as Rufus EFI only had.
