I can not believe boot camp assistant is not on the M1 Macs, what a bummer. I was super excited to try it out, my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable.

You sounded like Bane ! Thanks for the tip

Best video I’ve found for installing windows 10 on a Mac major plus he shows you how to get back to ‼️ THANK YOU

[ankurbhaskar]

Sucks that Boot Camp isn't compatible with M1 chip Macs, but considering those are so brand spanking new I hope in 2-3 years time they find a way to make it compatible on those. Right now I'm on my mid-2014 MacBook Pro with a puny 128 GB of storage, so around then I'll definitely need a new laptop of some sort.

Also there is some 3rd party software you can use to change the partition storages later, even though it seems like a headache. Intengity did a video about Boot Camp gaming too where he mentioned & showed it.

Respectfully, you sound like Stitch. Thank you for this video my little blue friend.

All I have to say is technology is amazing. And Thankyou

How did you get your FPS to be so smooth? If the game is not old my FPS drops significantly on a macbook pro 2015.

This guy was in a movie. I haven’t seen the movie in a while so I forget but I think the name was professor Snape from Harry Potter. I’m not saying he was on a broom while recording this but he might of been

Ello there! So i recently got a new computer (a MacBook pro 15" 2018) and have been debating if i should download windows bootcamp. My old computer (13" early 2011) is at the point where it takes like 5 minutes to open chrome, and often gets <20 fps if i play Minecraft. Which is pretty much the only thing i have installed after wiping it to improve its performance.
I'm just wondering if you think this is worth the hassle, because i have been extremely paranoid when it comes to downloading anything big on my new laptop in fear of ruining it, mainly because it is probably the nicest thing i own lol.
if it is worth it, does it affect/effect (english is hard) the Macs overall performance?

Any insight is welcome, thanks :)

I reached this part in the video 5:15. It told me that my system partition should be fat32 or msdos-fat, I've been searching how to do for almost a month now and still haven't fixed it... I was able to install windows 10 on my MacBook Pro before but it was rebooted cause something was broken :/

[DeportThemAll]

I have a ton of Steam games and I am about to get my first Macbook. Is bootcamp safe to run on the Mac? Will it slow the mac? Can it be fully removed for a clean restart?

[MrUnderdawg]

The most important part you missed is when starting bootcamp you need a flash drive to attach windows 10 ?

[christophersanchez]

What side-scrolling game were you presenting at 4:30? Looks beautiful!

[ravie]

not that familiar with computers, but can i download this windows 10 on an external hard drive instead of my built in hard drive since i have like zero space. my external is 2 TB

[monateru]

people who complain about less than 60fps obviously havent played minecraft on 2009 rubberized macbook at 2 am with 25 fps max. 30fps is a luxury

[clash]

restarting your computer and holding alt or options changes between drivers if you don’t use a usb

[ivyripple]

Is it absolutely necessary you have the latest software update? When I go to download 'MacOS Big Sur' it always ends up in an error message. Also, with the new update I will only have 61 GB of storage and u said we need 68 GB so its not the best.

[quwenkygoop]

I love you sm my pc is In the shop and I need to play the sims 4

[hkraytai]

It works fine until an OSX update and then something will not work until bootcamp gets a patch.

[axisbruce]

Hey should we install any drivers ? Before?
