High Sierra and Boot Camp?

To avoid confusion, can you start a new discussion and add the year/model of your Mac? W7 was last supported on a 2014 Mac.

i have the same problem after upgrading to high sierra , able to boot to window from high sierra but once in win10 not able to select high sierra partition. In win10 boot camp control panel, macOS X partition icon missing.

Hello Randy.

I have the same problem with bootcamp assistant it's crash directly after tape "continue"...

I found in my case the solution or the problem ... For use bootcamp you need a USB key for make download and install windows. Mine was insert and when it's not insert bootcamp continue well but tell me it's not a usb key in. I use disk utility and formate my usb key with ms DOS and bootcamp work like a charme now.

Have a chance with that.

Regards

Not all Mac models that support High Sierra - How to download macOS High Sierra - Apple Support - need/support USB. For example 2009-2011 Macs do not support USB installation of Windows. 2012 models with Optical drives support both, while 2013 and later models use USB2 flash drives. 2015 and later models do not support/need USB as noted in the Learn More section of How to install Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support .

I have the same problem. On my 2012 MBP when I installed High Sierra Beta it bricked the Windows side of things. Did the same exact install on my girlfriend's 2011 MBP and her Windows worked just fine after the upgrade. Go figure. I formatted the drive, fresh installed High Sierra figuring I'll just set BootCamp up again but then, like others have said, Bootcamp Assistant crashes. Just picked up a 2013 15" MBP, installed 10.13 and then tried BootCamp Assistant and it launched and started working. Figured OK great, I'll go ahead and set up my iCloud and everything on here then come back and install Windows. Proceeded to sign into my iCloud on it, updated to the new public beta and it's back to crashing. Go figure. Can't find a common denominator here considering it's working fine and will not crash on her 2011 model (which is also running the 10.13.1 beta). Unless it has something to do with my iCloud but that would make absolutely no sense whatsoever (although stranger things have happened). All drives are formatted APFS. So again, BootCamp is working fine on her 2011 model, BootCamp Assistant is working fine as well. It is not working on my 2012 model nor my 2013. All of which have been erased and fresh installed.

Thanks for the helpful links LonerT.

So, from your link and from the discussion, I gather that this is indeed a bug and that Apple is aware of it. I hope they issue a fix or otherwise remove that feature from the Bootcamp utility (in Windows) if they can't fix it since I spent quite a few wasted minutes scouring the internets for a solution.

I wanted to join this discussion so that hopefully I can get an alert if a fix is indeed issued and somebody replies here with the notice. Tnx.

Did you figure out a problem for this? I am having the same issue. Using a 2016 MBP15 with Touchbar. Bootcamp is Windows 10 Pro. Command-R, Alt key, Shift-Alt-Command ... none of them will let me get back to my MacOS volume. Bootcamp Control panel in Windows doesn’t see it either. My MBP15 boots straight into Windows. If you figured something out please share. Thanks!

If you are in Recovery Console and quit, does the Recovery Console ask you choose a startup disk?

How to switch between Windows and macOS in macOS High Sierra - Apple Support is the official Apple-documented method.

Thanks, I was having the same issue but this explains it. Basically, the Boot Camp Assistant is currently unable to see the new file system.

Pretty much right after I updated to High Sierra I applied a key to my Windows 10 partition. I had a pop-up in Windows 10 saying that I was almost out of space and to delete the old version of my operating system. I ALMOST clicked approve but then stopped and thought for a second. Looking at my HD in W10 it doesn't see a separate partition. I think if I clicked approve Windows 10 may have tried to delete my OS X. I can't verify this as I didn't approve the process but now I'm worried that Windows might start messing with my OS X partition accidentally due to not recognizing it.

Could Windows start switching the files to its file format with since it doesn't see the Mac partition?

That's not a concern worth giving time to... Deleting your old install would have meant deleting a directory on you Windows system labelled "Windows.old" - literally a folder with old versions of files now updated in your CURRENT "Windows" directory...

As long as you're not using a partition or volume manager you have no worries about Windows trying to erase the MacOS end of things.

The only answer people seem to give to this isn't an answer at all. It's simply instructions on how to boot back into Mac OS. No response from Apple as to the fix for bootcamp and driver updates. It's been 3 months now. Apple is slow as **** to fix anything much less acknowledge something that's broken.

I sincerely doubt there's any competition going on. Surely Apple has multiple separate developer teams. I can't roll back I haven't backed up recently enough.

Next time I will not update till at least the x.1 release of that version is out.

In my specific case, I have HS on an external disk, which is installed on a HFS partition, so switching is not an issue. It is not an optimal solution, and the external disk can be a bother to manage.

Hie. I recently did a fresh installation of my mac os I installed a fresh copy of sierra high. Meaning I formatted my drive including the partition which had my Boot Camp on Sierra the first one. Now I have installed my Sierra High when I try to do installation for boot camp, When I reach a stage after booting, were I need to select disk to install windows when I select Boot Camp Drive, it says "this partition needs to be formatted", and there is no way I can skip this option. if I format the Boot Camp Drive it changes its name then after installation completion I cant find the boot camp menu. Or other features that comes with boot camp it will be just like an other ordinary windows disk.

My question is are there any boot camp updates for mac OS Sierra High drivers available yet.
