Want to leverage the flexibility of dual booting in MacBook Pro? This guide provides you with detailed instructions to install Windows alongside macOS on your MacBook Pro that has an Intel chipset.

##What You Need?

  • An Intel Mac
  • A copy of Windows 10 ISO file
  • A USB Flash drive with at least 16 GB storage
  • At least 55 GB of free space on your Mac
  • Patience and a little bit of technical know-how

##Preparation

  1. Back Up Your Mac Before you start, back up all the important data on your Mac, as the process can potentially erase everything.

  2. Download Windows ISO File Download the Windows 10 disk image (ISO) directly from the Microsoft’s official website.

##Procedure ###Step 1: Open Boot Camp Assistant Boot Camp Assistant is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows. To find it, simply go to the spotlight search and type “Boot Camp Assistant.”

###Step 2: Download Windows Support Software After opening Boot Camp Assistant, tick the checkboxes for “Create a Windows 10 or later install disk” and “Download the latest Windows support software from Apple.”

###Step 3: Partition Your Drive Choose how much space you want to set aside for your Windows partition. Microsoft recommends 40 GB, but you might want to allocate more if you plan on using Windows frequently.

###Step 4: Install Windows Boot Camp will then prompt you to start the installation. Follow the on-screen steps to install Windows. This will involve formatting the Windows partition and installing Windows on it.

###Step 5: Install Boot Camp on Windows Once Windows is installed, your Mac will restart and load into Windows. You need to install Boot Camp drivers now. Locate the Boot Camp installer, run it, and follow the on-screen instructions.

###End Notes And there you have it! You can now switch between macOS and Windows on your MacBook Pro by simply restarting the machine and holding down the Option (Alt) key during boot up.

Remember that you can also use this method to install other versions of Windows, but we strongly recommend using Windows 10 for the best compatibility with macOS.
