Guide to Installing Windows 10 on Macbook

Buzz

If you're using a Macbook but still need to use Windows for specialized software for study and work, you can install the Windows 10 operating system on your Macbook. With the powerful hardware platform available on the Macbook, Windows 10 can function seamlessly on this machine with just a few installation steps using the Boot Camp software.

Most software created today primarily serves the Windows platform. With Windows, users have more software choices; however, the MAC OS X operating system of the Macbook also provides a great experience due to its smooth operation and beautiful graphics, along with high security. Installing both operating systems on the same Mac machine can be easily done using a tool called Boot Camp. Mytour will guide you on how to install Windows 10 on a Macbook.

System requirements:

- 1 USB with a minimum capacity of 8 GB formatted as FAT or NTFS

- MacBook with pre-installed Boot Camp.

- Windows installation package in .ISO format (Download the official .ISO file from Microsoft)
