iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011) macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.6
I decide to re-install Windows 8.1 on the iMac. But my superdrive cannot read Window 8.1 DVD for the Boot Camp. I have test the DVD on PC, (Dell), it work normally.
Do my superdrive malfunction?
Or, Is this the reason people keep doing EFI Boot with USB, instead?
iMac Pro
Remembering, I have successively open about 20 DVD in last 2 month, I'll test them again asap. However, I just found this 'Boot Camp Assistant User Guide' https://support.apple.com/th-th/guide/bootcamp-assistant/bcmp09f5f773/6.1/mac/10.13
It's said 'Older Mac computers require an external USB drive to install Windows on your Mac'. Which bring an important question;
Even if, I install Windows 8.1 with Boot Camp Assistant. Would it return EFI?
EFI, which cause an issue 'No Audio on Boot Camp'.
You may have an issue with your Superdrive. Does your Superdrive play Audio CDs and Video DVDs properly?
Boot Camp Assistant cannot read any Windows Disc. Is that normal?
