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)

Well, just a quick update here. I have a thunderbolt drive connected to my MBP. I unplugged it and guess what? BootCamp Assistant started working. So maybe this will help some people out. If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, try unplugging it before you try to launch BootCamp Assistant. If you're trying to install Windows to that external drive, well I can't help you there yet.

If have a similar issue but with the difference that after updating to HS my Windows 7 installation doesn't start at all. When I hit "alt" during the boot sequence I can only see the OSX partition. The Windows installation is not visible. When I chose Windows as the standard start volume in OSX the boot sequence end with the message "no bootable divide - insert boot disk and press any key". So OSX runs fine but Windows is not running after the update. HAs anybody any idea?

I understand your frustration. Provide Product Feedback (and wait!. BTW, you are competing with iPhone X 😉 ).


Another option is to not upgrade to High Sierra, or rollback to Sierra where it works as designated. If HS is a must, then there is at least a workaround.


For someone who also uses macOS/Windows remotely, this is worse than someone who has physical access to the Mac.
