Boot Camp Assistant Windows 10 Stuck
- Open a Finder window.
- Navigate to Applications>Utilities Upgrade windows vista home premium.
- Control Click or Right Click on Boot Camp Assistant and select 'Show Package >Contents'
- Open the Contents folder
- Drag the file 'info.plist' to your desktop (I also recommend saving it in >another place as well in case you want to revert to the original)
- Open info.plist on your desktop with a text editor
- Find the field labeled as below:
<key>32BitSupportedModels</key> <array> <string>MacBook7,1</string> <string>MacBookAir5,2</string> <string>MacBookPro10,1</string> <string>MacPro5,1</string> <string>Macmini5,3</string> <string>iMac12,2</string> </array>
- Time to find what your Mac is. Click the Apple in the top left hand corner and select About This Mac
- Click More Info..
- Click System Report..
- Under Hardware Overview, look for Model Identifier and copy it
- With your Mac's Identifier copied, go back to your open info.plist file create a string at the TOP of the entries. So if your Mac identifier was 'iMac13,2' then it would look like this:
<key>32BitSupportedModels</key> <array> <string>iMac13,2</string> <string>MacBook7,1</string> <string>MacBookAir5,2</string> <string>MacBookPro10,1</string> <string>MacPro5,1</string> <string>Macmini5,3</string> <string>iMac12,2</string> </array>
- Save and close info.plist. Drag info.plist back into the Contents folder and select replace. (You may have to authenticate and enter your admin password).
- Start Bootcamp and it should allow you to use your Disk/USB with both versions. I wouldn't recommend installing the x86 (32 bit) version of Windows 7, but this will allow you to get to the point of the installation to select x64 (64 bit) if you have an ISO file with both 32 bit and 64 bit combined. Hope this helps.
- Open your terminal, use the following command
sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant.app
- (close Boot Camp if it's running)
- Create backup of info.plist (inside package contents of Boot Camp Assistant)
- In info.plist scroll down to section Win7OnlyModels
- Delete the model ID 'closest to yours'(in my case, I have a MacBookPro5,3 and the model ID in the list was MacBookPro5,5)
- Replace old info.plist file
- Run Boot Camp Assistant
Boot Camp Assistant Beta
Boot Camp Assistant.app/
, as suggested by other answers. I tried duplicating the file and I was able to modify the duplicate, but it didn't fix the issue for me.- Download both Windows 8 and Windows 10 ISOs from Microsoft (you don't need a license to download the installers).
- Create a copy of the Windows 8 ISO and name it
windows.iso
. - Select
windows.iso
in Boot Camp Assistant. It should accept it. - When it prompts you to confirm that you want to format the disk, wait.
- Delete
windows.iso
. - Open the Trash, right-click on
windows.iso
and select 'Delete Immediately'. (Emptying the Trash will fail because it was already opened, but specifying it directly seems to avoid this.) - Rename the Windows 10 ISO to
windows.iso
. - Return to Boot Camp Assisant and confirm, to continue the process.
- Date: 4/21/16
- El Capitan 10.11.4
- Macbook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
info.plist
scroll down to section “SupporedNonWin10Models”. And remove the line that shows your Mac model. In my case it'sMacBookPro8,1
. Save the file and then run boot camp assistant. It should give you the “Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk.”I hope this helps!Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged macoswindows-10iso-imageboot-camp or ask your own question.
Weeks after the release of Windows 10, Apple has finally updated Boot Camp Assistant to add support for Windows 10. Yes, the latest version of Boot Camp is fully compatible with Windows 10.
UPDATE on 24/09/2018: If you don’t have access to the macOS or erased macOS from your computer, please refer to our download Boot Camp drivers without Boot Camp Assistant guide.
Mac users who would like to install and enjoy Windows 10 on Mac machines without going through driver issues can now download the newest version of Boot Camp drivers from Apple. The new Boot Camp drivers should address issues with the trackpad on some MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models.
If you have no idea about Boot Camp, it’s an assistant software available on macOS to help users easily partition the hard drive, prepare bootable Windows media, and then install Windows alongside your existing macOS.
Before downloading Boot Camp drivers, we recommend you to make sure that your MacBook computer supports Windows 10. The list of MacBook models that support Windows 10 can be found on the Boot Camp support page.
