PC gaming on a Mac with Bootcamp
After doing research and having successfully created a Gaming partition on my new iMac I wanted to share what I found.
Introduction
This process is not recommended for the Mac beginner or even for the casual user. The following is a suggested process for configuring a Mac to be a PC gaming tool. Most Mac users would consider this use to be sacrilege but we gamers, that love the Mac, from time to time will find a game designed only for Windows that must be explored. (Only for Intel Macs)
BE SURE to back up everything you have before attempting to create a second storage drive partition. Better yet, use a Mac that has no important files on it as your Gaming Computer. That way when you melt the Graphics Card you might be less angry with yourself.
I installed Boot Camp on a brand new 27” iMac with an i9 Intel chip and the best AMD Graphics Card available. This procedure will not work on the new Apple Silicon M1 or other Apple processors.
