In practice, two Windows installation paths are applied on Apple Macintosh computers with Intel processors: using a virtual machine or using the Boot Camp Assistant program. The first way is more likely to choose if you plan to use Windows to install games. The advantage of Boot Camp is that this program is a regular means of Mac OS latest versions.
1
Consider the sequence of Windows installation operations using "Boot Camp Assistant" (BCA). We carry out the login to the computer using the system administrator account, and start the assistant, which is located in the "Programs" folder → "Utilities".
2
Installing Windows is performed using the optical drive drive or with a flash drive. If the system reports the absence of a drive (text with a yellow triangle), and it is needed - close the program, turn off all external devices and run BCA re-on. If you plan to install from the flash drive, do not pay attention to the message and click the " Continue».

In the next step, we define a list of actions performed by noting the relevant items. If there is an ISO image of the Windows installation disk and flash drives, mark the item " Create…" Noting the item " Download…"We understand that we will need to connect to the Internet, otherwise the installation will be incomplete due to the lack of necessary drivers. We put a tick opposite " Install…"And press the button" Continue».

If it was selected to create an installation disk on a flash drive, in the next step we press the button " Select"And specify the path to the ISO image file of Windows, as well as connect the drive itself. Then click two times the button " Continue", Confirming readiness to erase all data on the flash drive and proceed to creating a disk. The stages of the procedures provided by the procedure provided by the algorithm will be sequentially displayed on the screen.

Such as the formatting of the drive to create the desired file system and clean it.
6
As well as unpacking the ISO image and copying the components you need to install.

Then, if the item was marked " Download…", Bootcamp is looking for on Apple resources drivers for the appropriate hardware filling of the computer, downloads them and moves to the next step by offering to specify the size of the Windows partition created to install. Moving the slider, define the required volume and click the " Split disk to sections" or " Install", Depending on the version of the BCA program.

The duration of the disk splitting process on sections depends on many factors and may be sufficiently long. After its end, the assistant initiates the restart of the PC and starts installing Windows. Until the selection of the partition in which the operating system will be installed, the sequence of actions is no different from the standard one. At this step, select the section marked by Bootcamp, and remember its number and volume. Without paying attention to the warning at the bottom of the installation panel, press the button " Additionally", and then " Format"And MS possible loss of data that is still not in this section.
9
After formatting, the inscription Bootcamp disappears, so you check the correctness of the selection of the section to install Windows by its number and volume, then click the " Further" Further actions are no longer different from the standard installation steps.
Use to install Windows Assistant Boot Camp does not require any special knowledge and forces almost any user.
