Early 2013 Macbook Pro, Windows 10 installation process?

Cool.

So I removed that installation of Windows and repartitioned my drive using BCA. When my computer attempted to restart I held alt until I saw the bootable drives and chose the one called "Windows". After that my screen goes completely blank except for a blinking cursor in the top left corner of the screen.

After waiting about 30 minutes without any change, I performed a hard restart of my computer, booted into macOS and tried the process again, this time by creating a partition in Disk Utility, restarting my drive, etc. I get stuck at the same place, blank screen except for a blinking cursor. :-(

Any thoughts on what is going awry?

Hey,

So I checked my flash drive and you were spot on, it was a USB3. I switched it out for a USB2 drive, remade my partitions (in both BCA and DiskUtil) and after my laptop restarts and I get to the driver select screen there is no "Windows" driver, only an "EFI Boot" driver. Is my flash drive not formatted correctly?

This is the flash drive model: https://www.amazon.com/Gigastone-GS-Z16GCNBL-R-Classic-Flash-Silver/dp/B01FESZ0MU

I reformatted it before adding the windows installers and windows support. Formatted as exFAT MBR.

Thank you for sticking with me through this. I tried upgrading to Mojave 10.14.6 but my Macintosh HD isn't formatted in APFS. I'd like to convert, and I've tried everything listed in this tutorial:

https://iboysoft.com/mac-data-recovery/convert-to-apfs-option-not-available-or-greyed-out.html#:~:text=Solution%3A%20To%20fix%20the%20%22Convert,and%20then%20convert%20to%20APFS

None of them worked. Do you think my only option to convert to APFS is reformatting the drive? Sorry, different topic...

I'll try the other suggestion you made about running everything through BCA and report back.

So I tried to run everything through BCA and it failed on copying the image to the USB drive because there was "not enough space". I assume this is because of the FAT32 format which only allows for up to 4GB per file. I attempted to create my own drive using unetbootin, as mentioned in this tutorial, and it did show a Windows driver upon restart, but when I clicked on it, the screen went blank with the message : "Non-system disk, press any key to reboot".

So I put aside some time to reinstall macOS from my recovery drive, which allowed me to change my drive's format to APFS (another thing that I have been trying to accomplish for some time), updated Mojave to 10.14.6 and retried BCA to install windows (with an exFAT formatted usb2 drive) and I still run into the same issue where the Windows boot driver does not show up when I start my computer while holding down the ALT button. What would be your recommendation for brand/model of flash drive? I didn't realize some USBs have issues with this and am unsure what kind I should get. I've been using a Gigastone drive and a Brookstone (probably generic).

Hi Loner T,

Thank you for the assist. msinfo32 shows:

BIOS Mode: UEFI

I'm still using a USB2.
