Problem Windows/Bootcamp Partition with unsupported Mac (iMac 21.5 "mid-2011)

I tried many door routes stealth to install Windows 10 on my iMac (21.5 inch, mid-2011; 1 TB SATA disk), which seems to be not taken in charge by Apple. Whenever I try to use Bootcamp to try to establish a partition, in the end it cuts and force restarts my computer.

I decided to make my own (150 GB, FAT MS-DOS) partition and a bootable USB stick with all the files .iso on it. The bootable USB key works very well and can get into Boot EFI without problem. The score, according to the EFI boot and Windows Installer, "has a table of MBR partition...". [and] Windows can only be installed on GPT disks. »

I tried to format the partition to NTFS by using the command-line Windows, such as proposed in the link below, but after downloading the Tuxera NTFS file to move the .iso to the Windows partition image file (I guess to make its own bootable drive) the drive itself is not started.

In fact, the Windows partition came not in the start screen (hosting option after reboot OR allowing the computer initiate by itself).

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mac/comments/3rzxd5/guide_windows_10_bootcamp_on_unsupp orted_macs.

After trying to format this partition using the Windows command line, Windows begins to remove it and provides the same error message. After some research, I found that the partitions are hybrid and need for special maintenance. I tried to use gpart, but when trying to convert ONLY TPG, took place the message in a terminal:

Caveat! Main partition table overlaps the first partition of 32 blocks!

You need to remove this partition or resize in another utility.

Caveat! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition of

33 blocks!

You need to remove this partition or resize in another utility.

I activated the command 'csrutil disable' in Recovery Mode in order to bypass the Protection of the integrity of the system, I found that some users of El Capitan were problems with this.

I was not able to proceed to the question since this last error and I'm not sure how to proceed, especially because I don't want to lose my data on my Mac hard drive. If anyone knows any information on how I should proceed, please let me know!

1. you use Boot EFI on a preUEFI computer.

2. to help TO do a FAT32 partition will also create a hybrid MBR. Please after the release of

sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

3. you need not of Tuxera, because Windows install has already the ability to convert FAT to NTFS.

4. your built-in optical drive works? If so, your W10 ISO burn to a physical DVD and try to follow the standard installation of the BCA.

    Why my iMac (27 inch, mid 2011) cannot run Windows 10 in boot camp? And if he can't, he would work in something like parallels?

    To be honest, Windows 10 is compatible with your Mac, but Apple does not release from Windows 10 drivers for it. There are various guides on the Internet to install the drivers for Boot Camp Windows 10 even if your Mac is not supported, but follow them at your own risk (don't forget that you won't receive help to make).

    However, you are free to run Windows 10 on a virtual machine. To do this, you can use Parallels, VMware or VirtualBox, but remember that a virtual machine will give you less performance than Windows natively on your iMac. Read-> Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

  • 10 Windows Bootcamp Partition encryption

    Hey all!

    First of all, thanks for any help that anyone can provide!

    I've been digging around online for any help regarding encrypt the partition 10 Windows on a MacBook Pro.

    From what I've read online, it seems as if the OSX partition is encrypted with FileVault. the bootcamp partition will break (failed to connect to Windows plus). If the BootCamp partition is encrypted by BitLocker; the OSX partition will break (unable to connect to the OSX partition).

    If the statements above are met, the more desirable (and apparently the only viable solution for my situation) is to recreate the BootCamp partition to be primary (take up more HARD disk space, leave 5 to 10 GB for OS x), install Windows 10, encrypt the drive with BitLocker and never connect to OS x again.

    This line of thinking is right? It's a bit difficult to find information about this specific set of scenarios.

    To help, here are my requirements "in stone":

    • I need Windows 10, cannot work without it
    • I would like to OSX, but can do without them.
    • I can't change the laptop or hardware, the MBP is my only option
    • I need to encrypt my daily driver must be

  • Should I update iMac 21.5 mid 2011?

    When I got my new iMac iRetina my old iMac was put in mothballs. By this, I mean that he sat at a desk not used for more than a year. My wife wants to start using it and I just turned it on and a miracle happened, it works. I thought I had left it in a State ready to be configured for a new user, but it is apparently already configured to connect to my apple id because I see an option to close your session with my name on it. Two questions: 1) how that it is configured to check? Since we went with the iOS devices, we used the same ID apple so if we buy apps, they are working on one of the devices. (2) it is a 21.5 "mid-2011 with an Intel Core i5 to 2.7 ghz and 1333 mhz 24 GB DDR memory. He is currently in OS X Lion 10.7.5. What OS should I update 1) this iMac can deal with good performance and 2) is free? Did someone using Open Office for the iMac? If yes it you please?

    1. System Preferences > users and groups > Admin account

    System Preferences > iCloud > sign in

    If it is not configured as you wish, the easiest would be to wipe the drive with disk utility and reformat. Then, in the wizard configuration, make your choice.

    2. you can upgrade directly to El Capitan 10.11.5

    In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

    Several things you should do before moving...

    1. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

    2. check HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

    3. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps

    4 make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

    5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

    6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Copy and then drag it to a different places like downloads.

    7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

    Make sure that you are not running Firefox mode full screen with all the hidden toolbars.

    • Press F11 to toggle mode full screen (file/Firefox > fullscreen)

    If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, which should make the convening of menu bar.

    Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".

    • Is he missing elements then open the window customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Firefox > Options > toolbars" (Linux, Windows)
    • If a missing element is located in the toolbar palette and then bring her back in the window customize the toolbar

    Hi all

    I recently bought the dv6-7246us and have updated for one SSD HARD drive. The problem I have now is I can't boot from usb or dvd drive that contains the Windows 7installation. Initially, this laptop has a HDD with Windows 8. I changed the boot order to boot from the USB drive and the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive several times and have still no chance to start to the top of the installation. Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hi, Robert:

    Go you into the BIOS and change in legacy Mode?

    I think that you need to do in order to boot from another device other than the hard drive.

  • Problem Windows XP Machine with SCCM 2007 R3 of construction

    Hello

    We will have problems of construction machines XP with XP; drivers are missing when the build is finished, even if they are still present in SCCM, when we look in the drivers section.

    I think I've narrowed the problem to the step "Setup Windows and ConfigMgr". If I put the TS to continue in case of failure, the machine continues to build and the fact successfully; No devices have drivers when I look in Device Manager.

    I'll add this too, although I'm not sure of its relevance: in newspapers, it is said that he is not allowed to install a particular package, although I don't know if the package applies actually models we going to have a problem with.

  • Suddenly, my iMac (27-inch mid 2011) works with my time capsule.

    It shows that it is connected to the time capsule, but when I go on the internet, the screen says that I'm not online. However, my iPhone works very well using my time capsule as the router.  My iMac has worked last night. I put to sleep and when I woke up, it does not go online.  I tried unplugging everything. I also tried to remove my time capsule of the recognized networks and then connection. Still does not work. Any thoughts?
