Executing Windows on a Mac without a dedicated Mac partition is possible through virtualization tools.
Executing Windows on a Mac without a dedicated Mac partition is possible through virtualization tools.
Before you mention switching to Windows, I already have a gaming PC and recently got a Mac Book Pro for style and compactness. Can I still install an SSD on my Mac and run Windows immediately without using Boot Camp or doing the installation steps?
To access all Windows drivers such as media keys and improved touchpad features, you need to bootcamp at least once. A Mac isn’t suggested as the sole platform for Windows.
I attempted this, but deleting the Mac partition leaves you with an unusable OS partition or similar issue.
I see you're considering different bootloader choices and want to know your reasoning. You mentioned having a gaming rig and believe Windows offers more advantages over macOS in that context.
Started with the bootcamp. You're using a much better OS now—take advantage of it. (Don’t waste time arguing that UNIX is better just because you haven’t tried it yourself.) No excuse for being confused, understand?
