Several things to note for those who are considering this Mac as their Windows machine:

Once the Windows install gets to the partition screen, select the newly created partition and click on Format button which will format it for NTFS, after that’s done, the installation should proceed without hiccups.

Bootcamp wizard will have created this USB option in the very first steps before requiring the initial restart of the computer. After that, restart the laptop again, hold the OPTION key and make sure that you boot into the USB Windows option. After that, go ahead and create a new partition, name it whatever you want it to be named and then make sure to format it as ExFAT. You have to click on the disk, not individual portion, and then Delete this BOOTCAMP partition which will leave some unallocated space on the disk. Since this partition is corrupted, it’s not enough to Erase it.

The Disk Utility will allow you to see the newly created Windows partition that will probably be named BOOTCAMP.

This is a high level description of the problem and also a description of how to solve it.Īt this point, one should boot back in Mac OS, go to Utilities (I believe it’s GO->Utilities from the main menu bar, again I have no clue about anything when it comes to Macs) and then go to the Disk Utility instead of Bootcamp.

Having tried and repeatedly failed at installing Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp utility that comes bundled in with every Mac following the official Bootcamp guide, I was lucky to find a kind of a cryptic post on the Apple care site that eventually shun enough light for me to get the install working. Generically speaking I was right, although I think that dumb luck had a lot more with the successful outcome of the endeavor than any supposed technical prowess that I might claim to have. However, I had done about a day worth of research about installing Windows on Mac before making the purchase and I knew that a lot of people ran into many issues trying to install Windows 8.1 on it regardless, I decided that my better than average technical acumen will help me overcome whatever Apple contrived adversity I may encounter during this noble undertaking.

I have to admit that prior to this purchase I have NEVER ever used Mac before. The first thing I did after I unpacked this admittedly very impressive piece of hardware was to attempt to install Windows 8.1 on it. The closest laptop from a standard Windows ecosystem perspective was a Dell XPS 15 Touch however, I could not afford to wait five weeks for it to arrive (supply chain issues perhaps?), so, instead, I stopped by an Apple store and, after five minutes there, walked out with a significantly more powerful alternative from Apple albeit at an almost $1k premium.Ĭoming from one of the biggest Apple haters out there, this is saying something. I am very surprised myself with myself, but at this point, I totally understand why Microsoft decided to do what it did with its own line of hardware devices because offerings from companies like Dell, Lenovo, HP with respect to a high performance /demo machine are, quite simply, pathetic right now. No, there is no mistakes here, my new official working machine is now a MacBook Pro 15 with Retina display running Microsoft Windows 8.1.
