Can I install Windows with Boot Camp in other HDD?

Hi Loner T

It´s my fault and my ridiculous question... Sometimes We ask stupid questions when we have the answers in front of us 🙂. And that, I am sysadmin and Apple OSX used Management Certificate (Yosemite)... Bad day I suppose 😟

Only create new partition in HDD and BC-Assist check this to choice. Create USB bootable with Windows 10 and BC-Drivers. Bootcamp reboot my iMac and ready to install

Hi again.

Not yet, tomorrow or long this week check this.

When I install windows and check all,tell you that restaurant tell you the result. I use windows In VMWare by bootcamp too.

Thanks for all

I think... Would it be enough 40Gb in SSD to install Windows 10 base system? It´s more faster SSD than HDD but less space...

Maybe install Windows in SSD and them install apps (WinRar, Office...) in one partition in HDD... Is it Bad idea?

I'll use almost always with VMWare fusion... VMWare support lunch BootCamp Windows in OSX 🙂

What do you think?

It´s iMac 27 inch, late 2013 flagship (i7 4770 3,5Gb Tb 4,3Ghz, 16Gb RAM, 3Tb Fusion Drive and GeForce GTX 780M 4Gb GDDR5) 🙂

I was erase fusion drive and separate 2 physical disk: 128 SSD and 3Tb HDD.

It´s very stupid from Apple that we can not update SSD because 128 in date, it´s poor...

Sorry, my fault xD --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1p3B4bWZNA but It´s so much difficult to upgrade... talking about $3.000... If I broke any components or cables, I stay out jumping by the 5th floor jaja

Hi!

I think that don´t understand you clearly:

1. Backup OSX via Time Machine.

Two week ago, I did install El Capitan (clear install without TM Recovery) and I take long time , I can´t allow me this again

2. Break the Fusion drive in Internet Recovery Console.

I remember you that I haven´t Fusion Drive, this step isn´t necesary.

3. Split the SSD in half ~ 60GB each.

4. Use one half to install Windows (recommendation is to use the lower SSD half for Windows). Please install W8.1 or higher using EFI.

I understandb you say break in 2 parts SSD (half space aprox.) 60Gb first position to OSX and second for Windows,

5. Create a Fusion drive using the upper 60GB and half the HDD as a Fusion drive and use Migration Assistant to restore OS X from TM.

6. Use the second HDD half as D: for Windows and install applications on D: as necessary.

2 steps don´t understand.

First, you want to I create Fusion drive with one half of SSD and half of HDD to install OSX? Fusion 60 SSD + 1,5Tb HDD more or less.

Second, Install Windows 8.x + in other half SSD and them use other half or HDD to App from Windows?

It makes no sense to me... use windows occasionally, lose much space with this steps.

Fusion drive It´s very slowly tham separate physical disk...

Yes... but if I have do it, SSD It´s not enough space for both systems...

SSD part 1 --> 60Gb for OSX

SSD part 2 --> 60Gb for Win10

HDD part 1 --> 2,5Tb for OSX

HDD part 2 --> 500Gb for Win10

60Gb partition for OSX It´s enough but not for Windows I think

Yep, It´s possible to ok...

Install in VMWare a Windows clear install and use space It´s 13,8Gb them install only VMWare drivers. It´s possible that 60Gb or less are suficient free space.. However with anything apps to re-parted SSD, It´s possible to resize SSD...
