Q: Macbook Pro Mid 2009 El Capitan, Install Windows 10

Hi, I need a help.

 

The other day I changed my HDD to SSD.

Then I install new OSX El Capitan normally.

 

However, what I really want is to use Windows 10.

But apparently, this Macbook's Bootcamp Assistant (BCA) only supports installation of Windows 7.

I edited my BCA's info.plist so I could install Windows 10.

Fortunately it worked, well, at least I had Windows 10 (The installation was a success when I used DVD)

 

Few days ago, I felt like I needed more space on my Windows, so I tried making new partition using Disk Utilities, the moment I did this, my Windows 10 became corrupted and I could not boot into Windows anymore. So I decided to reinstall my Windows.

 

Apparently, on Windows installation, after I select the language, region etc, it asked for a Driver (Which I believe is Bootcamp Support Software), I had tried downloading all Bootcamp Support Software available from Bootcamp 4 all the way to Bootcamp 5. None actually worked (I did not remember which driver I used on my first installation of Windows 10 worked)

 

Moreover, I tried using a bootable USB, it does not ask for Driver (skipped the step), but I could not install Windows 10 because I believe my SSD is an MBR, Windows requires a GBT. So I deleted all partition, then it allowed me to instal Windows 10 (Great!)

 

NOW THIS IS THE PROBLEM:

Once I turn off the machine, Windows 10 is not longer operable.

I mean, when I turn it on, yes Windows 10 starts, but it keeps on diagnosing problem etc... and at the end, it gives me options to restart PC or do some Advance Repair.

 

How do I fix this problem. I don't mind not having OS X on this Macbook.

 

Your help will be much appreciated.

MacBook Pro, Windows 10, null
