Moreover, is there a source documenting the differences between Boot Camp 6.0.x and 6.1? On my iMac17,1 (the 2015 Retina 5K) it downloaded 6.0.6251. We've been deploying Windows 10 64-bit on 2013-2015 iMacs (both retina and non-retina) using Brigadier, so whatever variants of 6.0.x are being pulled do fully support Windows 10. You can use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10 on your Mac. Install Windows on your Mac Depending on the model of your Mac, you might need an external USB drive to install Windows (you’re asked for one when you prepare your Mac for Windows if it’s required). If you want to uninstall Windows 10 from your Mac, the steps are pretty straightforward. Simply boot into macOS, open Boot Camp Assistant, select the ‘Remove Windows 7 or later version’ option and click Continue. Finally, click Restore so that Windows 10 is removed from your Mac and the macOS partition is restored to its original size.
You can set the default operating system to either macOS or Windows. The default operating system is the one you want to use when you turn on or restart your Mac.
Set the default operating system
- In Windows on your Mac, click in the right side of the taskbar, click the Boot Camp icon , then choose Boot Camp Control Panel.
- If a User Account Control dialog appears, click Yes.
- Select the startup disk that has the default operating system you want to use.
- If you want to start up using the default operating system now, click Restart. Otherwise, click OK.
You can’t change your startup volume to an external FireWire or USB drive while you’re using Windows.
