Hey guys ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ‘‹, So I got a MacBook some months back and had difficulties installing Free Adobe Photoshop on it to continue my design ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿ’ป gigs. Well,I had to add a Windows OS to the system. If you are also a gamer ๐ŸŽฎ and you still want to enjoy your cool games with your Mac, this article is for you. Letโ€™s get started.

DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 ISO

Select the Windows 10 edition, your preferred language, and confirm. Afterward, select the bits you intend to download (I suggest 64bits). Let's proceed to the next stage now that you've downloaded the Windows 10 ISO.

CONFIGURE BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT

Open the Finder app on your laptop and navigate to Applications, then Utilities, and finally the Boot Camp Assistant. Once the boot camp is opened, click continue. Click Choose (next to ISO image box) and navigate to the location of your newly downloaded Windows 10 ISO to select the file. You can now specify how much space you intend to allocate to each OS by dragging the arrow between them. Once that is done, click on the install button and verify your password. That's it; your computer will restart into Windows 10.

SET UP WINDOWS

Fill in the necessary details on the prompt message and if you don't have a product key; no worries just click "I don't have a product key". After that select the "windows 10pro" unless you have a product key then you can select the "Windows 10 Home" and click next to get it installed. I recommend you use customized settings so you can turn on or off personalized settings. Create your account to get started

RUN BOOT CAMP INSTALLER

You will be welcomed with a Boot camp installer prompt message once your account is created. Click on next to install the necessary drivers to enable it to work with Mac. You'll see several pop-ups, click install so as to get the drivers required to run the hardware, and finally click Finish to complete the installation. Connect to the internet, click on the start menu and click Apple software update to install other software needed.

RUN WINDOWS UPDATE
