Boot camp windows startup disk

I’ve partitioned boot camp but every time I try to restart my Mac the startup disk for windows doesn’t appear. How do I get windows to boot.

Your disk does not have a a Windows partition. See Install Windows on your newer Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support for reference. You may run into disk space issues, because the 120GB storage may not be sufficient for a W10 installation. Your early 2015 MBA supports installation of W8.1, as noted in Use Windows 8.1 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support.


Be aware that upgrading to High Sierra or newer will cause issues because they only support W10, not W8.1.
