Hello!
As the title implies, I'm having some trouble installing Windows 10 on a 15" MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013).
I'm at wits end right now, so I turn to you guys, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction!
I started with creating the USB installer from Boot Camp Assistant, this seems to go off without a hitch (having done this multiple times, sometimes it fails, but then if I try again it will do one that doesn't fail).
I've created partitions through the Boot Camp Assistant, and also without (I read about making an exfat partition, so I tried that), but both to no avail.
When Boot Camp Assistant finished making the partition it tries to reboot into it and gives me a "No bootable drive, press any key to restart" type error. Keys don't work, so I force shut down the laptop and restart it holding Option to select the USB installer and go from there.
The USB installer boots without a hitch and gets me into the Windows 10 installer. When it comes to selecting a partition, I select the Boot Camp (or self made) partition and Format it. At this point it still won't let me install on the partition because: "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks."
Having read a little bit, I found the gdisk Terminal utility and ran through that. Initially it wouldn't write, so I booted into recovery to unlock it, and then it seemed to go off without a hitch.
When I then boot back into the Windows 10 USB installer, it seems to install the OS without issue onto the selected partition. Yay! Right? Not really..
As soon as Windows 10 tries to boot up (at this point, from the partition, since it installed) it immediately starts crashing. Basically getting an error like such: "System thread exception not handled igdkmd64.sys"
Again, reading around a bit taught me that it seems to be some sort of (graphics?) driver error. Some of the solutions I saw seemed to assume that you can already boot into Windows 10 and have a few minutes before it starts crashing. I don't seem to have that luxury.
That's basically the spot I'm stuck at. I've run through this loop multiple times (with the different partitions, multiple times with each method) and seem to be stuck here.
Hoping someone can provide some insight!
