Q: Upgrade a 13" Early 2011 MBP to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1

it's almost the same without $WinPEDriver$ and AutoUnattended.xml but i think this is because i didn't download the bootcamp drivers via BCA

Seems like it wasn't formated the proper way . . . i will format it under DiskUtility and then make it bootable again with the Win10 ISO I'll start allover the process and come back with a status update

Can you download BCA drivers and make the structure similar? We also need to change your MBR on the USB and then try.

Dude give me your skype or add me )

I do not use Skype. . This should still work. You may also want to remove your Skype ID from a public forum. It is an invitation for SPAM and Skype is worse for controlling your machine.

Thank you for the tip,

The problem is that i don't have in bootcamp the option "Create a Windows 8 or later install disk"

Let us modify the one that you already have. . Download the BC Drivers using the Download option and add them to the USB. Make sure   the USB is a USB2, with FAT. We can manipulate the MBR with Gdisk.

It's gone for a while i have already formatted it and installed bootcamp on it now i am following this tut to enable that option in bootcamp so it will create de USB disk from the ISO directly

Dude I think i'm losing my marbles.

After installing xcode and making Boot Camp to make a bootable USB stick from my ISO . . . i'm getting this error i'm really losing it

The usb stick looks perfect now

Did you just format your entire HDD for Windows?

shows something different or your previous terminal output has been cut off.

That was another USB stick that was made for UEFI with GPT forget about that one it's out of discussion for a while, the current one is MBR FAT(MS-Dos) formated by the bootcamp . . . also the HDD was formatet by bootcamp . . . i'm out of clues

I have also found that there is newer  firmware SMC EFI update for my macbook but sadly it can't be installed on 10.10

And there is another thing that i don't understand there is a wierd partition (boot option) that it doesn't exist besides Macintosh HD I have EFI . . . and that EFI is a remain from my old Windows 10 install . . . it goes into the blue screen "You PC needs to be repaired : ( "

when i go into disk utility i don't even see that partition . . . . it doesn't exist

When you install Windows using EFI boot, the EFI partition is modified to contain Microsoft pieces. Please see Can't resize Macintosh HD partition for the EFI-related discussion. If you do not have Windows anymore, see the steps to remove the Microsoft parts.

As I can see my disk2 is unencrypted, shall I move on with the steps from that thread ?
