Hi Dan, Are you installing windows 10 to bootcamp or just on to your mac's ssd without any other setup.
No the mac can't by default mount an NTFS partition so the best thing to do is to format it as a FAT32 file structure To install windows you need to run on the mac side Boot Camp assistant, Then follow the prompts to install your windows. Easiest option is to put the windows installer package if in an ISO file on to your desktop, Then format your USB flash drive to a fat32 format and then once done Have that the installation in to bootcamp should work fine for you. -----Original Message----- From: 'Dan' via MacVisionaries <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, 21 December 2018 8:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Having problems with attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP 2014 Hello Folks, I've been attempting to install windows 10 on my MBP mid 2014 model year machine. Here are the problems I'm having. The first time I attempted to do this, I got a message that the install couldn't be mounted because of not being able to format NTFS. Then after restarting the machine making sure that boot camp partial install was removed, I attempted it again. This time I got the error that the usb drive didn't have enough space. So I used a larger usb drive with 64 GB instead of 32 GB and still got the same result. This is really dumb. I might as well purchase a refurb windows machine rather than fooling around with this. Even though this was what I really wanted to do. Now I do have another comment to make. In the install, the first time, My son picked the no license option and it was after that that the unit said that NTFS couldn't be mounted or something like that. Any suggestions? Thanks.
