It's Never Been Easier! Install Windows in Mac OS! No BootCamp required.

octobre 26, 2024 Mourad ELGORMA

I installed Windows 11 on my Mac Pro 5,1 using an app made for Mac, link below, called Windows Install. This can be done on any intel Mac running OpenCore and it could not be easier or faster and you do it right within Mac OS. No Windows boot thumb drive needed. You need to be running OpenCore and Mac OS 10.13 or later. The app also has built in BootRom Protection for your Mac Pro 5,1 so no worries about bricking your Mac Pro due to Microsoft certificates being written to your boot rom.
