partitioning disk error
when I get to the partitioning disk part of the bootcamp process, the blue bar which shows the progress of the partitioning goes full and does not change.

Rebuild MBR to match the new GPT information thus resetting the Hybrid MBR. Use defaults for other questions (like partition codes). The only values that need modifications are the Boot flags and step 10. Accept all other defaults that Gdisk offers. Please see thesample Q&A as an example. These steps can be repeated if you make a mistake before you get to Step 12, otherwise start from Step 1 for these steps. Step 6 has numbers which are typed with a space between the numbers. Please see the sample Q&A before you execute these steps.
Here is sample Q&A for this section. Please notice the Press Enter/Return.
Place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR (good for GRUB)? (Y/N): Y
Creating entry for GPT partition #2 (MBR partition #2)
Enter an MBR hex code (default AF): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): N
Creating entry for GPT partition #3 (MBR partition #3)
Enter an MBR hex code (default 07): Press Enter/Return
Set the bootable flag? (Y/N): Y
Post the output of
sudo gpt -vv -r show /dev/disk0
sudo fdisk /dev/disk0
for validation.
Ok, i’m back on the apple partition
no I don't think so
ok, I downloaded it and went through the installation process for it but I do not know what to do next.
gpt show: unable to open device '/dev/disk0': Operation not permitted
fdisk: /dev/disk0: Operation not permitted
it seems neither of them worked
oh wait sorry, I didn't see the steps before with what to do
sorry, I don't really know what to do, I have never really done anything like the before and it is a bit too confusing for me.
Yes
Nice! Can you execute the Rebuild MBR steps on page 4 of this discussion?
Excellent!
Done
There is one thing actually, most of the apps or games on the Microsoft store say, ‘this app is not compatible with this device’ but I don’t know if you know about this problem or not?
What GPU do you have in the iMac?
NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M 512 MB
Can you select a game and check it's System Requirements?
This is an old game. You have better GPU/CPU than the game requires. However, if the game does not support newer DirectX versions, you may run into issues. You can run dxdiag and check.
