Windows 10 on Macbook 4,1 (Early 2008)

Hello,

I have been trying to install windows 10 on my MacBook 4,1. I have tried multiple methods but only resulted in "No Bootable Device" or "Missing Operating System". Any help would be really appreciated.

Also don't say "You can't install windows 10 on this mac" because I know you can.

Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant - Apple Support


by installing win7 and upgrading from within windows to 8 and then 8.1 and finally win10, there were no drivers so the stuff the win7 driver did not work with did not work, the bootcamp app did not work and windows could not see macOS drive, but one day it just stopped working, might have been a windows update.
