Mac Mini 2010 Boot Camp Dvd

 
  1. May 23, 2016 I received notice from MS that my Mid 2010 Mini running Bootcamp, was ready to update to W10, from W7 64bit. Windows 10 & Mid 2010 Mac Mini. Apple Boot Camp.
  2. May 29, 2018 Hey guys, in this video I'm going to be showing you how to install Windows 10 via DVD using a modified version of Boot Camp Assistant on an unsupported Mac, which in my case is a 2010 Mac Pro.

Feb 17, 2014  In this video I walkthrough how to install Windows 7 on a Mac using: 1. A Windows 7 install DVD 2. A USB flash drives 3. 2010 Mac Mini with Apple external superdrive 4.

The bootable Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD-ROM is important if your Mac ever refuses to boot like normal. If you don’t have a bootable DVD-ROM — preferably a Mac OS X Snow Leopard Install DVD-ROM — call Apple or your Apple dealer to arrange for a replacement.

To boot your Mac from a DVD-ROM installation disc, follow these steps:

Mac Mini 2010 Boot Camp Dvd Cover

  1. Insert the Mac OS X Install DVD into the DVD drive.

    If your Mac uses a tray to hold the DVD, make sure that it retracts and that the disc is in.

    If you have a tray-loading DVD-ROM drive and it’s closed, you can get it to open by restarting (or starting up) your Mac while pressing the mouse button. Continue pressing until the drive tray pops out; then release.

  2. Shut down or restart your Mac.

    If you shut it down, wait a few seconds and then start it up the usual way.

  3. Press and hold down the C key immediately, and keep it pressed until your Mac either boots from the DVD or doesn’t.

    If it does boot from the DVD-ROM, you see a Welcome screen.

    If it doesn’t boot, you see a prohibitory sign, spinning-wheel-of-death, or kernel panic alert. . . anything but the first screen of the Mac OS X Installer, the login window, or the Finder. Any of those is your cue to try Step 4.

  4. If your Mac doesn’t boot after Step 3, hold down the Option key while booting to display the built-in Startup Manager.

    Use the built-in Startup Manager when you boot from a DVD.

    It displays icons for any bootable discs that it sees and allows you to select one (including the installation DVD).

  5. Click the DVD-ROM icon to select it, and then press Return or Enter to boot from it.

    This technique is quite useful if your usual boot disk is damaged or having an identity crisis during startup.

If you can’t boot from DVD then either you just installed something new that’s aggravating your Mac, or your Mac needs to go in for repairs (usually to an Apple dealer).

To get your Mac up and running again, you can try any of the following:

  • Call the tech-support hotline: Before you drag it down to the shop, try calling 1-800-SOS-APPL, the Apple Tech Support hotline. The service representatives there may be able to suggest something else that you can try. If your Mac is still under warranty, it’s even free.

  • Ask a local user group for help: Another thing you might consider is contacting your local Macintosh user group. You can find a group of Mac users near you by visiting Apple’s User Group Web pages.

  • Try Dr. Mac Consulting: You can check out consulting services or call 408-627-7577. A team of expert troubleshooters does nothing but provide technical help and training to Mac users, via telephone, e-mail, and/or Internet-enabled remote-control software.

  • Check whether you have RAM issues: If you have problems immediately after installing random-access memory (RAM) — or any new hardware, for that matter — double-check that the RAM chips are properly seated in their sockets. (Warning: Don’t forget to shut down your Mac first.) With the power off and your Mac unplugged, remove and reinsert the RAM chips to make sure they’re seated properly. If you still have problems, remove the RAM chips temporarily and see whether the problem still exists.

    Follow the installation instructions that came with the RAM chips — or the ones in the booklet that came with your Mac. But even if they don’t say to get rid of the static spark, you should (by using an antistatic strap available from most RAM sellers or by touching an appropriate surface, such as the power-supply case inside your Mac) before you handle RAM chips.

What you need to install Windows 10 on Mac

  • MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later
  • MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or later
  • Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
  • iMac introduced in 2012 or later1

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk:

  • Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
  • If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory.2

An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you're using a Mac that doesn't need a flash drive to install Windows.

A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.

  • If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
  • If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

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

1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Then 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.

2. 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.

3. Install Windows

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

4. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

Camp

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.
