Windows with Bootcamp on iMac with only SSD HD?

I would like to run Windows with Bootcamp on my iMac. Retina iMac late 2014 with no internal hard drive, only the SSD and the 10.11.4. After countless tests, I dropped; I ask the community, is - it possible at all?

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.

Finally, I ask the moderator to move this thread on the forum of Boot Camp. This is an iMac general forum where most users use only OS X.

  • Impossible to install 10 Windows via BootCamp on iMac 5K with Fusion Drive

    Hello

    I tried to install Windows 10 Professional via Boot Camp on my iMac 5K end of 2015 (version OS X 10.11) with a disc of the Fusion 2 to for about a week now. Right now I'm on my 4th or 5th try on Windows 10 installation on the iMac because each installation fails gives me an error that the drive is not formatted correctly or he couldn't find the score even though I have the selected in the list of available drives. I even went up to both to run the commands of the PART of the DISK from the command prompt in the area of troubleshooting Installer Windows 10 to format drive to NTFS instead of FAT32.

    Here are some of the mistakes that I received:

    1 Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. This space of hard disk is formatted with a version not support the NTFS file system.

    2. we could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

    I used the Boot Camp configuration application (version 6.0.1) to create a USB key after you download the image ISO from Microsoft. The USB flash drive that creates the installer will start the iMac, but I can't get past the screen "where do you want to install Windows? I tried the merge disk partitioning ways without success, beforehand, because I thought that it could cause a problem. He was left as a full drive 2 TB, or divide the flash part away and seen the almost 2 to rotation and the merger of 128 GB (flash) portion and lucky either.

    I'm full of ideas on what to try... I have loaded Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp several times and have never encountered a problem with Boot Camp with 10 Windows so far.

    Workaround I found that worked for me was to install

    Win7 Pro 64 bit.  Then created just the Bootcamp driver USB key

    (no operating system installer).  Next I went to do the upgrade of Win10 of

    in the environment of Win7.  FWIW, I also chose to not save

    anything (new installation).

    You will need to keep the installation to make sure that you press the Option

    key with multiple reboots (why Windows still insists on this)

    and select the Windows volume to boot from.  Once all the nonsense restarts

    were carried out and finally Windows was running, I plugged it in training camp

    driver USB key, install hardware drivers and everything was good to go.

    Now, it was on an old MacBook Pro, which does not officially have the Bootcamp

    support for WIn10 if the material is quite capable.

  • Replaced the optical drive with an SSD, but how do we install Lenovo Windows 8.1 on it?

    Thanks in advance!

    For clean installation try to download Microsoft Media creation tool first. Using the tool, you can download a copy of the Win 8.1 installer. Save 8.1 only and not the PRO. During installation, the installation program does not the product key but it detect automatically your bios.

    You will need to place the ssd instead of the original location of the hard drive to boot successfully.

  • Anyone running Windows (Vista or 7) with a SSD having problems with Windows Update? FIXED *.

    I ask this question because I have now two computers with this problem.

    A computer running Win7 and it used to work with the SSD but recently I wipe the drive and reinstall the OS and now it will not update windows.

    The second computer is a laptop with WinVista final.  This machine, I have improved since a physical hard drive to an SSD a month ago.  This time, he made Windows update without problem.  Now all of a sudden it will also not Windows update.

    A third computer in my house that runs WinVista on a physical drive will be the Windows Update now without any problems.

    So the only link I see is the SSD...

    I replied to your other thread on this issue, but in the case where you'd miss it, I copied and pasted what I wrote here.

    FIXED!

    My laptop is fixed and is installing new updates (I probably Jinx it now and it will come with an error).

    What I did ask the help desk where you chat with a microsoft technician, they take control of remote access from my laptop, and after about an hour of playing around with it (I tried to follow what they were doing - many command prompt and things) they have restarted and said it should be good now. I was very doubtful, because it just shows the same page hanging so thought I would not want to go back and ask them again the next day, but I left it overnight and here this morning there were some updates 208 ready and waiting!

    The technician was really helpful, they offered me paid a pension of microsoft (I think they must do this in standard), but I politely declined and they were wearing on fixing it free in any case for me!

    They gave me a few options also, they said that if they had done did not work, then I could try searching with an ethernet cable (sometimes a more stable connection is all you need) or if it does not, they offered me a newer version of windows 7, which had all updates already downloaded if I wanted to do an OS reinstall everything (I said I prefer not the) do that but it was nice to have the option, if everything else has failed). They also said they would offer phone support for free all the reinstall if I need assistance.

    He also confirmed that they solve this problem a lot and it was certainly not an error at the end of microsoft, or anything to do with the SSD/HDD, etc..

    Overall, really impressed with the service of help desk, I highly recommend asking them if you still need help. Go here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/contactus?wa=wsignin1.0# and click on "services and applications" to open a window where you can chat.

    One thing though, once that my laptop had found all of the updates, I clicked on install and it came with the error message 80240016. I Googled, followed the instructions on this link here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows7/windows-update-error-80240016 and it worked perfectly the second time around.

    Just to confirm, now that I've finished writing this post, my updates have completely installed!

    Hope it will be useful to anyone still hurt!

  • I need to upgrade my Mac (MacBook white unibody mid 2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD

    I need to upgrade my Mac (white unibody MacBook mid-2010) with a SSD (and iMac mid-2010) and the RAM and SSD: I look to buy upgrades site Crucial and OWC site and there is a little difference, in terms of money: it's better to buy the Crucial site or OWC site.

    MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

    < re-titled by host >

    They have good tools to find compatible parts for your Mac models.  The OWC took is here

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/MyOWC/

    OWC tends to have the most detailed information on the Mac.  If I look to the top of the part to OWC and review specifications.  OWC offers often information based on the Mac-specific tests.  If Crucial offer something similar for a substantially lower price, buy it from Crucial.  I'm sure they have a refund is not political, if a part they say is compatible.  I bought the RAM and SSD both Crucial and OWC.  From my experience, be it high quality.

    For the 2010 iMac, OWC also offers a "kit" (with the tools and support) to replace the hard drive of 3.5 inches with a 2.5-inch SSD.  Eventually, if it's a 27-inch iMac, I think that you can Add the SSD instead of replace the hard drive.  And they have self-produced how-to videos on the process, related to many of their lists of products.  OWC provides a lot of information with added value and service for Mac users.

    OWC also offers kits to replace the optical drive on some Macs (including MacBooks) with an SSD (as a secondary internal drive).

  • Presario CQ61-110SL: upgrade for laptop Presario CQ61-110SL from XP to Windows 7 with new SSD EVO 840

    In fact on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed the Vista of origin instead.

    Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually get a new SSD Samsung 840 rather original EVO... What is the correct procedure?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

    There is no procedure to upgrade from XP to Win 7, it would be clean installation.

    1. place the SSD drive in the machine instead of the HARD disk

    2. start the installation of Win 7 disc to install Win 7 (best x 64 edition)

    3 install the drivers of the machine, you can download from >here<

    Windows 7 is optimized to work with SSD, there will be no problem.

    If you have important data on your old HDD, you can either save it before (on external support, USB key, Cloud solution, etc.)  or after it (via a USB cable plugged into the laptop as external drive). This is also an option to transfer data.

    Please, let me know if you have any other questions. Happy holidays!

    I was trying to install Windows 7 x 64 Professional on an SSD to the computer with a SATA - USB connector. I started the Setup, but it wouldn't let me install because it was connected with a USB key. Is there another way to install it on an external SSD?

    Unfortunately, no, Windows 7 must be installed on a device of storage internally. If you have the eSATA port, you can install it on a disk external eSATA.

    Hi George P Boutwell,.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    I think that VMware has a 64-bit/function version. You will need to contact them to verify this.
    64-bit to 32-bit is not supported by Windows Easy Transfer, as far as I know.

    I hope this helps.
