I have also a mac mini Late 2012 . Is it possible to replace the hdd there, in witch i want to install windows, and then put it back on my macbook pro ?

Apr 26, 2015 6:17 PM in response to imastorasby Loner T,Yes. After you remove the disk from MacMini, because it has different Apple hardware compared to your Mac, you will need to be careful with drivers. If you can avoid installing BC drivers for the Mini on Windows, it would easier to move Windows from the Mini to you machine.

Apr 26, 2015 7:58 PM in response to Loner Tby imastoras,This mean that i would make the whole process over again or i can use the same bootable usb that i have now ?
To Avoid installing mini drivers ,you mean these three files i have already downloaded from macbook pro ( $WinPEDriver$ , AutoUnattend.xml , BootCamp) ,right ?

Apr 27, 2015 2:59 AM in response to imastorasby Loner T,These files help BC install drivers silently when Windows is installed. Unless you are willing to modify these, you will need to let it complete on the Mini. Once Windows is up and running on the Mini, carefully remove drivers which are Apple-specific. USB, Mouse and Keyboard drivers should be left as they are. You should remove the Bluetooth and Wireless and Wired Network drivers.

Apr 27, 2015 4:58 AM in response to imastorasby Loner T,Let them be fully installed on the Windows on Mini. In Device Manager, right click on Bluetooth, and Uninstall Driver. Repeat the same for Wireless and Wired Network adapters.
