Title: Installing Windows 10 on a Mac: A Journey of Trial and Error

As someone who has spent decades hating Windows, I was surprised to find myself enjoying the experience after installing it on my Mac Pro cylinder. The process was not without its challenges, however. In this article, I'll share my experiences and provide tips for those looking to install Windows 10 on their Mac.

My journey began with a brand new Mac Pro cylinder, which made things surprisingly easy. The installation process went smoothly until the Windows welcome screen took over, leaving me feeling good about the outcome. However, not all Macs were as cooperative. In fact, each one I used had its own unique set of challenges and methodologies.

For instance, my MacBook mini 2012 failed at the last stage due to an EFI issue during the Windows installation setup. It was frustrating, but I eventually found a solution by removing the partition created by Boot Camp using Terminal and allowing Windows to see a free area of space, which it then formatted correctly.

I also encountered issues with older Macs, such as my MacBook Pro 2010, which insisted on using an optical disk instead of an ISO file. This was a major hurdle, but I eventually found a work-around by using Boot Camp and installing Windows 10 successfully.

In conclusion, installing Windows 10 on a Mac can be a complex process, requiring patience and persistence. However, with the right tools and knowledge, it's possible to overcome the challenges and enjoy the benefits of running both operating systems on your Mac.
