So a neat feature of OpenCore is the ability to avoid the BIOS entirely and use Startup disk solely for multiboot. Problem comes in when we try to boot windows and have no way of setting the boot option back to macOS. That's where the BootCamp utilities come in.

Find and install drivers for bootcamp windows 10 quickly without going through Boot Camp Assistant If you have a partition that uses Boot Camp Assistant will have errors on Because I have partitioned so I will direct how to install it via Boot Camp Assistant This is the image I have installed the full driver First if you do not have wifi driver, you must buy a big usb adapter to plug in the. After you install windows you need to install the proper drivers from the apple software update to run windows 10 under bootcamp. The SFC command is just sfc /scannow and hit enter from an elevated command prompt ( + X ) click on command prompt (Admin). If you used Boot Camp Assistant to copy the Windows drivers to the same USB Flash Drive as the Windows 10 installer you'll find that the Boot Camp Installer is automatically launched after installing Windows 10. If not you can launch the Bootcamp Installer by going into USB Flash drive, BootCamp folder and launching setup. After I installed Windows 10 here in my mac, I wasn't able to finish the download for the drivers for the boot camp because my mac restarted. I cannot go back to mac because of the missing boot camp manager.Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Install, upgrade, & activate.

  • Note: This guide will not cover the creation of the Windows installer, only the installation of BootCamp drivers.
    • Example of Windows installer creation: Build a Bootable Windows ISO(opens new window)
    • Reminder: Windows MUST be GPT/GUID based, OpenCore will not boot legacy installs
  • Note 2: Using BootCamp utilities from macOS will erase the EFI/BOOT/BOOTx64.efi file on your EFI, which is needed for booting OpenCore. And OpenCore itself does not support MBR based installs so the utility is useless to us

# Preparations

To start we'll need the following:

Boot Camp Windows Driver

  • Windows already installed
    • MUST be UEFI/GPT based
  • Brigadier(opens new window)
    • To download the BootCamp drivers
  • SMBIOS injection enabled
    • As the drivers have a SMBIOS check
  • Setup Bootstrap.efi
    • Not required but can help alleviate headaches when Windows erases the BOOTx64.efi OpenCore uses

# Installation

To install, it's as simple as grabbing Brigadier(opens new window) and running either Brigadier.bat for Windows or Brigadier.command for macOS. If the SMBIOS you're currently using either has BootCamp issues or want to download for another SMBIOS, you can add -- model{SMBIOS} to the end:

  • Note: Older versions of the BootCamp installer(6.0) do not support APFS, you'll need to either choose a newer SMBIOS that would have it bundled(ie. iMac 19,1) or after installation update your bootcamp software. See below for more details on troubleshooting: Windows Startup Disk can't see APFS drives

Next you will find our bootcamp drivers under either:

  • Windows:
  • macOS:

macOS users will next need to expand WindowsSupport.dmg and place it somewhere Windows can get.

Next navigate to the bootcamp-{filename}BootCamp folder and run the Setup.exe:

Once all is finished, you now have BootCamp switching! There should be a little BootCamp icon in you tray now that you can select which drive to boot to.

  • Note: For those no needing the extra drivers BootCamp provides, you can delete the following:
    • $WinPEDriver$: DO NOT delete the folder itself, just the drivers inside
      • Apple Wifi card users will want to keep the following:
        • $WinPEDriver$/BroadcomWireless
        • $WinPEDriver$/BroadcomBluetooth
        • $WinPEDriver$/AppleBluetoothBroadcom
    • BootCamp/Drivers/..
      • DO NOT delete BootCamp/Drivers/Apple
      • Apple Wifi card users will want to keep the following:
        • BootCamp/Drivers/Broadcom/BroadcomBluetooth

# Troubleshooting

# Can't find Windows/BootCamp drive in picker

So with OpenCore, we have to note that legacy Windows installs are not supported, only UEFI. Most installs now are UEFI based but those made by BootCamp Assistant in macOS are legacy based, so you'll have to find other means to make an installer(Google's your friend). This also means MasterBootRecord/Hybrid partitions are also broken so you'll need to format the drive you want to install onto with DiskUtility.

Now to get onto troubleshooting: Othermr. grahams 8th grade algebra website.

  • Make sure Misc -> Security -> ScanPolicy is set to 0 to show all drives

If Windows and OpenCore's boot loaders are on the same drive, you'll need to add a BlessOverride entry:

  • Note: As of OpenCore 0.5.9, this no longer needs to be specified. OpenCore should pick up on this entry automatically
Windows bootcamp support download

# 'You can't change the startup disk to the selected disk' error

This is commonly caused by either:

  • 3rd Party NTFS Drivers(ie. Paragon)
  • Irregular partition setup of the Windows drive, specifically that the EFI is not the first partition.

How To Reinstall Bootcamp Windows 10

To fix the former, either disable or uninstall these tools.

To fix the latter, we need to enable this quirk:

  • PlatformInfo -> Generic -> AdviseWindows -> True

# Booting Windows results in BlueScreen or Linux crashes

This is due to alignment issues, make sure SyncRuntimePermissions is enabled on firmwares supporting MATs. Check your logs whether your firmware supports Memory Attribute Tables(generally seen on 2018 firmwares and newer)

For Z390 and newer motherboards, you'll also want to enable ProtectUefiServices to ensure OpenCore's patches are applying correctly.

If your firmware is quite old(generally 2013 and older), you'll want to enable ProtectMemoryRegions.

Due to the variations of firmwares from vendor to vendor, you'll need to play around with the combination of these 3 quirks and see which works best.

This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. Thanksgiving (b1 and up)college st. paul. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride.

# Windows Startup Disk can't see APFS drives

  • Outdated BootCamp drivers(generally ver 6.0 will come with brigadier, BootCamp Utility in macOS provides newer version like ver 6.1). You can try to alleviate these issues by either updating to the newest release with Apple's software updater or selecting a newer SMBIOS from brigadier(ie. --model iMac19,1) and when running brigadier.

For the latter, you'll need to run the following(replace filename.msi with the BootCamp installation msi):
