These need to be installed from the original Boot Camp package for MacPro5,1.Р”Вownload and install 7zip, download Brigadier 0.2.4 app, open Windows command prompt where Brigadier is located and type:

#MAC PRO 5.1 RUNNING WINDOWS 10 DRIVERS#

Windows 10 installs all necessary drivers automatically except Bluetooth and internal speaker. Step 5: Install Windows drivers and Boot Camp utility Your mac will be rebooted twice.Р”В®very reboot do not forget entering the boot menu (by holding the Option key) and selecting РІР‚ВWindowsРІР‚в„ў boot drive there. Select the newly created partition 2 and continue with installation normally.

There should be only two partitions (for legacy installation, EFI mode creates four) automatically created: Press the РІР‚СљNewРІР‚Сњ button to create necessary partitions. You should now see your drive as Unallocated space.

Now make sure to select the correct target drive number N (NOT your macOS disk), after that type: Press Shift+F10 to launch command prompt. Proceed with installation normally until you see the РІР‚СљWhere do you want to install WindowsРІР‚Сњ drive selection screen. Turn on your mac while holding the РІР‚СљCРІР‚Сњ key to boot from the optical disk (if you have PCIe drives installed and canРІР‚в„ўt boot from the disc, remove those PCIe adapters). Step 3: Boot from your Windows 10 DVD disk On Windows we recommend using the free ImgBurn app.

#MAC PRO 5.1 RUNNING WINDOWS 10 ISO#

Make sure that your Windows 10 ISO file fits on the DVD disk, in our case we had to burn WindISO (64-bit) to a single-layer DVD+R disc 4.7GB.Р”В«urning a DVD disk under macOS can be done with the following Terminal command: drutil burn %path_to_iso_file% Therefore Windows should only be installed in Legacy BIOS mode from an optical drive. Also, you wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be able to boot into Windows after selecting its drive as bootable in macOS Preferences РІвЂ вЂ™ Startup disk. It has been discovered that Windows when installed in EFI mode is corrupting the Mac ProРІР‚в„ўs firmware by signing it with multiple Secure Boot (X.509) certificates. Warning: DO NOT install Windows from a USB flash drive. Step 2: Create a bootable Windows 10 DVD disk If you successfully did it please let us know in the comments below or via e-mail. Many people reported it was not possible in their case.

We didnРІР‚в„ўt test using PCIe РІвЂ вЂ™ SATA III adapter or PCIe РІвЂ вЂ™ NVMe adapter for Windows partition. >1GB where sequential read/write speeds matter) on your system drive. Of cause, SATA II (up to 300MB/s) is a bottleneck for modern 2.5РІР‚Сњ SSDs (up to 550 MB/s where SATA III is preferable)Р”В«ut real life experience shows that the difference is hardly noticable unless you deal Using the HP 654540-001 3.5РІР‚Сњ РІвЂ вЂ™ 2.5РІР‚Сњ adapter (7$) to place 2.5РІР‚Сњ SSD in a drive bay can be quite convenient. We recommend using the internal SATA II connector in one of four drive bays or alternatively one of two SATA II connectors in the optical drive area. Windows has to be installed on a separate drive, which is good actually to avoid messing with partitions in future.

#MAC PRO 5.1 RUNNING WINDOWS 10 UPDATE#

If not, please update first.Р”В«oot Camp Assistant no longer supports cMP and doesnРІР‚в„ўt allow creating a separate partition for Windows. ItРІР‚в„ўs supposed that you have the latest Boot ROM version 144.0.0.0.0. This guide is for those who want macOS Mojave + Windows 10 + modern GPU (in our case Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB). What is more, none of them supports displaying of boot menu with 4k 60hz monitor connected. Well, some EFI bootable cards that support boot menu exist but they are released almostР”РЋ0 years ago and are really outdated. Supported, but itРІР‚в„ўs completely possible though not quite easy.Р”Р„nother challenge is that macOS Mojave 10.14 now implies using Metal-capable GPU while most of them are not able toР”Вisplay Apple boot menu (which you normally see holding the Option key) required to boot into Windows. Installing Windows is no longer officially ItРІР‚в„ўs prettyР”Вisappointing considering how capable and upgradable these machines still are. Classic Mac Pro 5,1 (or simply cMP, also 4,1 upgraded to 5,1) is now considered by Apple as vintage.
