High Sierra and Boot Camp?

Have there been updates to Boot Camp in High Sierra?


When I update to High Sierra do I need to set up Boot Camp again or are there just some driver updates?


Going to back up both partitions anyway but just wondering.


Thank you!

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10), Windows 8.1 (Boot Camp)

I'm experiencing the same problem. I just tried to make a bootable USB for Win7 and every time I hit continue it always crashed right after that. I haven't tried on Win10 yet.


Also, I tried the alternative of running dd to try and directly install the .iso onto the flash drive but it kept giving me an error saying that it couldn't do it.


Since Bootcamp has a lot to do with the file system when you install this kind of stuff I have a feeling that bootcamp doesn't support the translation of the dd command from APFS to the FAT/NTFS file structure that has to be used when you create the bootable USB. If the dd command is failing, that's what bootcamp uses to create these "installmedia" drives I think so this would explain it's crashing.
