In this guide, we’re going to show you how to install Windows 8.1 on Mac without Boot Camp software.

Step 1: Turn on your Mac machine and boot into Mac OS X. Open Launchpad, click Other, and then click Disk Utility to open the same. Step 2: Once Disk Utility is launched, select the drive (your SSD or HDD) in the left-side, and then switch to the Partition tab. Step 3: Next, click on the small “+” sign to create a new partition.
Step 4: Select the newly created partition, enter a name for your new partition (remember the name as you can easily select the newly created partition later while installing Windows), select the size (at least 20 GB), and then select the format as DOS (FAT) or ExFAT. You can select either DOS or ExFat here, as you can format the partition with NTFS while installing Windows. Click Apply button to create a new partition to install Windows. Click on the Partition button when you see the warning message. Once the new partition is ready, close Disk Utility. Step 5: Next, you need to prepare bootable Windows 8.1 installation media. We advise you follow our guide to quickly create the bootable installation media and also download important support software from Apple.
And if you already have the bootable media, you can proceed to the next step. Step 6: Once you have the bootable media, restart your Mac, hold down the Alt (Option) key while restarting the Mac, choose the option titled Windows (don’t select EFI unless you are very sure) to begin installing Windows on your Mac.
Step 7: Follow the simple on-screen instructions, and when you see the partition selection screen, select the newly created partition (be sure to select the right partition), click Format to format the partition with NTFS, select the formatted partition, and then click Install button to continue installing Windows on your Mac. Note that during the installation, your system will be rebooted a couple of times. Every time your system reboots, hold down the Alt (Option) key, and then select Windows to continue the installation. Step 8: From here on, you need to follow the normal Windows 8.1 installation procedure.
Step 9: Once Windows is installed on your Mac, setup will automatically launch. Click Next button, accept license agreement, and then click Next button again to begin installing support drivers. Once done, you’ll be asked to reboot your system to complete the installation.
Enjoy Windows 8.1 on your Mac. If you plan to use Windows as your default operating system, we suggest you to avoid pressing the Alt key every time you turn on your Mac.
How to guide might also interest you. If you created the partition and formatted it, go on and start windows setup as said in procedure. Be sure to download the 64bit (or x64) version of Windows and only from the Microsoft site (other ‘free’ downloads have been proven many times to hide malware in that version of windows). Search for windows 10 media creation tool or search for windows 10 download and look for the link that contains Microsoft.com. Use that tool to ‘install windows on a different computer’ which will automatically create a bootable usb drive when providing one. Make sure to cooy that usb drive first as it will wipe all data from it! When done reboot imac as told in above procedure and choose the efi boot on the usb drive.
Running the setup choose custom installation, select the partition you just created and choose format. If you can’t select it first select disk tools or disk options.
After formatting the new partition just select it and go further with the next step of the installation wizard. I installed win 10 on a fully formatted imac (after a complete wipe of all partitions) and i just selected the unpartitioned disk. Windows setup did the rest for me automatically. However: after installation and all the auto updates from the web three hardware components won’t work.
The Intel HD display crashes the imac so I disabled it completely. No problem as the AMD display adapter is being used.

Further there seem to be no drivers for the facetime camera, the Bluetooth hub (but mouse is working properly) and the sound card. Can anyone tell me where i can download the sound and camera drivers without bootcamp or without having to reinstall the Mac OS again?
When I boot holding the alt key I don’t see my usb with Windows 10 on it to choose? All i see are my OS X partition and the recovery hd. I tried booting and the plugging the usb as well as plugging in the usb before booting and both options didn’t work. Listen, I really want windows on my mac. I’ve been trying to get windows 7 through bootcamp but it always freezes something to do with the drivers or some such bullshit.
Bootcamp won’t let me install anything other than windows 7. Would it be possible if I create two usb’s?
One with windows 10 and one with 7. That way I use bootcamp to install windows 7 and right whens it restarts to open windows I can replace the usb’s so it opens windows 10 instead? Hi, After reading all comments I though i’m in between. Weither I would be able to install it or no.
And when i decided to give it a try I got an error.:( I can’t install windows because of some thing GTP etc type error. I could boot into windows installation, and formate but “next” option doesn’t get appear to be clicked ONLY you can’t install windows on bla bla bla.:( Can you guys tell me if it is some “hardware” issue or windows?
Some of guys above do have the same issue. Regards. admin says.
This was amazing. I can’t tell you how much of an absolute disaster this process has been. How many times I’ve accidentally wiped my hard drive trying to follow directions from different websites for installs via the command line. How many DVDs I went through.
How many hours searching online. I started trying to get this to work back in September, gave up and moved on to updating to Yosemite and setting up OS X Server. Now that all that’s done and good to go for all my devices, I thought I’d return to this Your instructions worked perfectly. I don’t understand what was different this time as opposed to before, but I was able to format the drive within the Windows install process just fine. Before, it wouldn’t even let me do that (which is how I ended up braving a few different sets of instructions for command line installs).
At any rate, thank you, thank you, thank you!. Mark Brown says.
