Click Install now

Accept the license agreement

When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.

You will receive the following warning:

The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • About this Mac window

    A week ago I updated my Mac Mini end of 2014 to Sierra and, among other drawbacks, I found that the "to comments of this Mac window" doesn´t show when it is called. In addition, the button of the substitution of Apple ban on which they consider unreliable applications (i. e.  those not manufactured by Apple or not using the iTunes channel) is now gone and I won't unintentionally control I have in my computer.

  • I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

    On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

    Help, please?

    This is not a mechanism supported by Apple to change the size of the Windows partition. Apple supports the remove/reinstall only.

  • Bootcamp Windows - partition cannot be mounted

    Hey all,.

    I've been using Windows on my iMac (late 2012, Yosemite 10.10.5) without problem but today after I started MacOS Yosemite (to control simple file), cannot start again to return to Windows. Had no problem Bootcamp before... have not used to any advantage either 3rd disk utility. The only thing I have recently increased the Windows size 200 GB partition by decreasing the MacOS partition through disk utility (a month ago, no problem since then until today)

    1. Windows has disappeared from the startup disk

    2. disk utility shows disk0s4 gray and cannot be mounted. In addition, the correct partition size was 700 but here its listed as 500 GB GB (which was the old size before you increase it)

    3 when I try to restart with pressed ALT, Windows, but cannot restart, with a black screen showing "a disk error occurred.

    I'm not very familiar with techniques more. Only, I tried to install "Find" but cannot achieve anything with it.

    I tried your advice above and seems THAT NTFS is there...

    one last thing... when I try to check disk0s4, said "it should be repaired. When I hit repair; It says this:

    Need my Windows as soon as POSSIBLE, what more should I do?

    I don't have not upgraded to Sierra again. That I should? Or it will be even worse?

    I have tons of files on Windows that I need and unfortunately not supported for a while anywhere (sorry about that now).

    Help, please...

    stuff more to indicate...

    and I know if it's significant but cmd + s & ' fsck - fy "has not done anything other than check the Mac partition.

  • We can establish a common partition for Mac OS and Windows Boot Camp

    I'm new to Mac, so please excuse my ignorance.

    I have a MacBookPro 11 mid-2015 with 512 GB SSD and 16 GB of RAM.

    I have Mac OS X El Capitan and that you have installed 10 Windows using the Boot Camp utility on a 150 GB partition. I wanted a common partition on exFAT which could serve as a repository for my data either of the OS. My intention - 150 GB for Mac OS - 200 GB of data - 150 GB for Windows 10. How can this be achieved?

    Earlier, after the Boot Camp, I reduced the Mac OS to 350 GB partition to 150 GB and released 200 GB. Formatting this turned me expensive because it stopped my Windows to start. Repair it was a waste of time and effort. I draw the hard Windows on a Mac is sensitive to changes in the partition.

    In addition, is using Virtual Box better than Boot Camp? I don't have as much virtualized environments.

    Please advice.

    You can connect an external drive of ExFat formatted. The OSX and Windows can read/write on a disk formatted ExFat.

    A virtual machine has its advantages, as does a Boot Camp facility. A virtual machine allows the simultaneous OS, any necessary initialization to change operating systems. Data can be shared between operating systems more easily. Computer such as memory resources are shared in a VM for applications environment to run slower.

    Installation of Boot Camp allows Windows to run in native mode by using all of the system resources, so apps will go faster. But to change operating systems, a reboot is required. It is more difficult to share data.

  • Starts two windows shows

    When I press 'option' to choose which partition to start in the start menu, there is a Macintosh disk which is my os x and partition of two windows.

    The first is the windows operating system and the other opens just the installation.

    How can I remove the installation partition and give space on the windows partition?

    Thank you!

    Also, when installing windows 10, I pressed accidentally the "option" key after the installation finishes (it goes then to the start menu) and then I select the windows partition to boot windows. I don't know if that will cause a problem like that or not.

    Problem solved,

    After the start under os x, the installation of windows partition is removed.
