I do hope you got my file via e-mail.


Since then:


I told my problem for the manufacturer of the SSD and got this answer:


Thank you for getting back to me, I really appreciate it! Regrettably your model MacBook Air 6,1 is not compatible with Windows/BootCamp. We state it on our site of the SSD on the main product page:

 

Note: Not compatible with Apple Boot Camp when installed in the following hosts: MacBookPro11,1; MacBookAir6,1; MacBookAir6,2; iMac15,1 (Late 2014); iMac18,2; iMac18,3; iMac19,1; iMac19,2


If you have anymore questions, comments or concerns please reply to this email and I'll gladly assist you further!


Thank you for contacting OWC, have a great day!

I have seen that happen several times now. But no Windows is ever installed, just on the Wininstall USB.


The only time my Windows partition was filled with all the Windows 10 contents was there first time, when Bootcamp assistent performed a compete install.


The only thing was, that Windows didn't open.


Disk Utilities can now see Wininstall as well as CCCOMA_X64FRE_SV-SE_DV9, but they are not visible in Finder.


During the operation, Bootcamp immediately found the WindowsSupport folder and Win10_21H1_Swedish_x64.iso. Shouldn't that be enough? Bootcamp wanted to install Win10_21H1_Swedish_x64 on the USB. Why not on the partition? There was never any question about that, only the USB stick was a target.

Hello!


We haven't talked lately. Well, Watchdog violation doesn't mean much anymore. I have a Windows 10, that is easy to start, and there are other applications included. I did write to the producer of my SSD, and they comforted, that Bootcamp wasn't compatible with it. And enough big SSDs compatible with Bootcamp seem to be non-existing.


So VirtualBox is an alternative. I now have Titlevision on my Windows-screen, secured to start from the desktop.


But without films I cannot work with it, anyway. I have installed Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.26.vbox-extpack and VirtualBox says i is correctly installed.


But I can't see USBs of any kind. I have FAT32s och ExFATs, but they are unvisible. Edge is no help, so far. It was easy to install one of my addresses, very easy. All seems right, there, but my test picture doesn't come.


VirtualBox has installed the extension with USB OHCI, which I understand doesn't take all USBs. How change that?
