My iMac has bootcamp on it that I haven't used yet but a family member has a Mac mini. I was wondering if there was some kind of way to use the bootcamp from my iMac on the Mac mini.
iMac 27″ 5K, 10.15
The issue really isn't with Bootcamp but with the Window's licensing
and activation. And all that depends on what version of Windows you
have and if you wish to continue to use Windows on the iMac.
If you want to retain Windows on the iMac, you will need to purchase
a license for the Mini. Also, depending on the Windows version and
how you obtained it, the license may not be transferable to the Mini
if you decide to remove it from the iMac.
So, step one would be to research your version of Windows
on the Microsoft site and determine what can and can't be
done in terms of activation.

Use already purchased bootcamp on numerous computers?
