How to Install Windows 10 on MacBook Without Bootcamp

If you have multiple internal hard drives, you can select a different hard drive from the one running macOS and create a single partition on that drive to use solely for Windows. This process may take a long time to complete (you can click the Stop button to interrupt this process). When setting up your Windows installation, make sure to specify a partition size by dragging the divider between the macOS and Windows partitions.

To get started, you'll need to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows ISO image. To do this, insert a USB drive into your Mac and open Boot Camp Assistant, located in /Applications/Utilities. Click Continue at the introduction screen, then select the USB drive as the destination for the Windows installation files.

Next, select all the tasks and click Continue to create the bootable USB drive. This process may also take some time to complete (you can click the Stop button to skip this process).

Before installing Windows, make sure your Mac is up to date by checking for software updates. You can do this by opening the Boot Camp Assistant application on your Mac and clicking Continue at the introduction screen.

Once you have a bootable USB drive with the Windows ISO image, you're ready to install Windows 10 on your MacBook. Connect an external USB drive or insert a flash drive into the USB port on your Mac and keep it connected while you install Windows and the Windows support software.

It's also important to note that older Time Machine snapshots and cached iCloud files may be removed during this process to make space for Boot Camp.

In terms of performance, Windows 10 runs well on the Mac, with no noticeable sluggishness or major issues. We've tested it on an early-2014 MacBook Air without any problems.

Overall, installing Windows 10 on your MacBook without using Bootcamp is a relatively straightforward process that requires some preparation and patience. By following these steps, you can successfully install Windows 10 on your Mac and start enjoying the benefits of running multiple operating systems on your device.
