Windows 10 via USB Good day! I have a MacBook Pro late 2011 os: High Sierra. No CD drive (replaced by Optibay hdd). When installing Boot Camp, it says that you need a CD drive! How do I install Windows 10 via USB? There is no specific information on the forums of Russia what and how! Help me find a solution to the issue! (sorry for the crooked translation))

How to install windows 10 on iMac mid 2011 21 inch without usb flash using bootcamp Hello everyone, how can I install Windows 10 on a mid-2011 21-inch iMac without using a flash drive? I heard that this can be done through a partition on the disk, but I'm not sure about the specifics. I'm using macOS 10.13.6.

Installing Windows 10 onto a USB Flash-drive using bootcamp Hey There So I need to install windows as a seperate operating system and would like to install it separately onto a usb flash drive, similarly to how you would install macOS onto a usb, plug it in and boot into it. The reason being I don't have loads of storage to partition into windows being on my machine. I was wondering if this is possible, if it is possible, what are the options and methods of doing so? I would preferably like top use bootcamp but obviously if this isn't possible on bootcamp, I would be willing to look into other options. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Unless you are installing Windows into a Virtual Machine you will need a USB drive for a Boot Camp install. Here is an Apple article with instructions for installing Windows using Boot Camp.
