Installing windows 8 on mid 2015 macbook pro retina
Delete, repeat, “Load drivers” but check the USB instead of OSXRESERVED - same thing, folders are there but drivers don't show up unless I un-check the ‘Hide non-compatible drivers’ option.
INSTALLING WINDOWS 8 ON MID 2015 MACBOOK PRO RETINA INSTALL
Proceed to Windows install – no dice, same error at “Installing updates” stage. Un-check "Hide drivers that aren't compatible with this hardware”, and a few drivers show up for each piece of hardware - install them all. Delete, repeat, but once booted into the Windows installer, first click "Load drivers" and select the OSXRESERVED partition: shows up all the driver folders, but shows no actual driver files when you navigate to any of the folders. Delete the partition, download the Windows Support Drivers to a FAT-formatted USB drive, then repeat all the above. It downloads Windows Support files, but 9 times out of 10 the laptop crashes at the step of “Saving Windows Support files” – but force restarting allows me to alt/option-boot into the Windows installer anyway: great.īoot into Windows 10 installer, format Boot Camp partition, select Windows version (have tried both Pro and Home) - it gets through copying, expanding, installing Windows files… but then I get an error every time at "Installing Updates” – error code 0x80070002, can't find drivers compatible with this hardware - Windows will restart (doesn't restart, just goes to a black backlit screen and stays there until I force restart). Use Boot Camp Assistant to create partition (122GB on 1TB SSD). Running into trouble at every step of the process, with both Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 8.1 64-bit (clean ISOs downloaded directly from Microsoft). Running High Sierra (APFS, unencrypted) with up-to-date Boot Camp Assistant (6.1.0) - clean OS install a couple days ago.
