Windows 10 bootcamp on external support.

Hello

I am currently studying a master's degree in engineering at the University, and it becomes increasingly imperative that I have a stable OS of Windows that will run the likes of AutoDesk Inventor on my system. However, I'm not really happy to have the cancerous BONE on my system disk.

My system features;

  • MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2015, retina), 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 500 GB SSD, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4).

I have a legitimate copy of Windows 10 install through bootcamp (I have absolutely no interest in the use of Parallels, or any software emulation/VM floating BONE on the core of OS X system), and have all the drivers seated on a USB key.

What I really want to do, is create a boot volume on an external hard drive (similar to the creation of a Virgin encrypted volume in "Disk utility"), install the OS and take over the entire image for volume on the outside.

The way I see it, the volume becomes active when I open the DMG file in the OS, but then the volume remains active as long as the hard drive is connected to the laptop, which means that I initialize the volume while under OS X and reboot the system, then choosing the volume as disk bootable, so pulling on Windows as the active operating system running from an external drive and seen in as a construction in HARD DRIVE disk utility.

Someone at - he already tried this? I'm looking to go forward and start on this subject, however to install the operating system takes an absolute age and I'm not really want to go through the full process of reverse it then should windows seem reluctant to move.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards

Niall

1. your Windows license does allow no external boot. Windows-to-go is part of Windows Enterprise, which is not officially supported.

2. you can not USB/FW, but you can try an external drive Thunderbolt as a Windows destination.

3. you don't want to compress the Windows installation by using any utility OS X. Envisagez native NTFS compression, which requires processor to Compress/decompress cycles.

4. you can also consider solutions like Winclone to clone an internal installation is installed on an external drive of cloning.

    Hello

    While installing the printer on Windows using Bootcamp can work, there is no guarantee...

    The OS installed in fact like a virtual envoirnment, which means that your Windows operating system uses your Mac OS USB drivers as the host, and not those intended for Windows windows.

    This is why it is not recognized by the software.

    This is normal and expected behavior. Your 2011 Mac does not support the USB Windows installation. You must use a physical DVD burned ISO. Your Mac does not officially support Windows 10. The ISO files are available at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home .

    Documentation on Apple's site shows not all models. Please visit https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/mac/5.0/help/ for an older version (FC5).

    Hi all

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 inch 2011 lag and I try to install Windows 10. I've tried 3 different methods. I can provide more information if necessary.

    I had running Windows for 10 minutes (2 reboots) until he got stuck on the screen to start due to an unknown error (probably error compatibility)

    I am currently give up and try to install Windows 7 instead, hoping that he'll be fine

    If any of you guys have any suggestions please tell me this is greatly appreciated!

    I don't think that you can install Windows 7 with Boot Camp on El Capitan:

    • A Microsoft Windows installation media or disc image (ISO) containing a 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows 8 or later *.

    From: How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support.

    Windows 10 is simply too new for your Mac, and Windows 7 is too old. It is quite a difficult situation. If you really need Windows, you would need to get a copy of Windows 8, or put to level to an earlier version of Mac OS X with a version of Boot Camp that works in Windows 7.

  • can not start after the installation of 10 Windows via bootcamp OSX

    Hello, I need help.

    I tried to install 10 Windows via bootcamp, and I did it successfully with no problems. However, after the installation, I restarted my computer, hold down the option key and tried to boot into OS X, but it won't work. It would be a symbol that boot lead me to windows 10!

    all solutions? I do not have a backup of my files under OSX, I lose my files?

    NOTE: when I formatted the partition for windows, he said not bootcamp next to him, but it is clear that the partition that I had to format, it is the same size that I decided to make Windows when I was in bootcamp in OSX + it was empty at 100%.

    UPDATE 1: so I managed to get into the recovery of the internet and deleted the partition that had the windows and install OSX Marverix instead (temporarily) also, I fixed the hard drive MACINTOSH HD, but now I can't boot it at all when I press the option button during the priming of the mac. all solutions?

    Yes, but your post is so incomplete, you did not provide details of what errors you got. Chances are you have too small a SSD and simply do not have enough space.
