How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Check your Secure Boot setting

Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.

2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.

  • If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
  • When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.

3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

4. Install Windows

Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

  • If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
  • If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.

What you need:

  • 20 minutes for USB installer creation.
  • To create the USB installer: a PC, Mac or Chromebook running the Chrome browser.
  • An 8GB (or greater) USB stick

In order to function properly, CloudReady needs to communicate with several Neverware services. Every Neverware service communicates via https traffic on port 443, with the exception of final download of update payloads, which are signed and validated after download.

You can see the current list of required URLs and test your ability to connect to them here or below:



  • Unlike other network services and interactions listed above, CloudReady's update payloads are downloaded via http. This allows caching and peer-to-peer updates to be possible.
  • Like Chrome OS, CloudReady supports peer-to-peer updates. P2P can be disabled by blocking multicast DNS (mDNS) on your local managed networks.
  • CloudReady requires the ability to send https traffic to many Google endpoints in addition to the list above. If you are not already successfully using Chromebooks, you may want to reference:
    - Google's support articles on preparing your network for Chrome devices
    - Google's Enterprise Networking for Chrome Devices guide
    - Google's Networking Best Practices for Large Deployments guide.
  • Transparent inline proxies and other SSL filtering can create significant issues with Neverware and Google network interactions. If you use a tool like this, make sure to add the above Neverware URLs and Google's URLs to your SSL hostnames whitelist.
  • Chromebooks and CloudReady devices update every 6 weeks and in some cases may add or change their network dependencies. Neverware will contact customers in the event of a major change, but you can refer to the links and information above for an always up-to-date list of dependencies.


If you're unable to resolve networking issues on CloudReady, contact support.
