• Windows 10 Iso For Mac

​Boot Camp Assistant, a utility included with your Mac, provides the capability to add a new partition to your Mac's startup drive in order to install and run Windows in a fully native environment. Boot Camp Assistant also provides the Windows drivers necessary to use Apple hardware, including such key items as the Mac's built-in camera, audio, networking, keyboard, mouse, trackpad, and video. Without these drivers, Windows would still basically function, but the keyword here is basic, as in extremely basic. You would not be able to change video resolution, make use of any audio, or connect to a network. And while the keyboard and mouse or trackpad should work, they will only provide the simplest of capabilities.

With the Apple drivers that Boot Camp Assistant provides, you may discover that Windows and your Mac hardware are one of the best combinations for running Windows.

Windows 7 Forums is the largest help and support community, providing friendly help and advice for Microsoft Windows 7 Computers such as Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. If you want to install Windows 7 from a USB drive, the best way is to use the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool to put that ISO file onto a USB drive. The downloaded ISO you’ll get from Microsoft includes Windows 7 with Service Pack 1.

The Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool is a great tool. It creates a DVD or USB device, loaded with Windows 7 setup files, for you in seconds.

What Boot Camp Assistant Does for You

• Partitions your Mac's internal drive without losing data.
• Provides the necessary drivers for Windows to recognize and use all of your Mac hardware.
• Provides a Windows control panel that lets you select the environment the Mac will boot into. (Your Mac already has its own preference pane for selecting the boot environment.)
• Includes the ability to remove the Windows partition and restore that space for use by your Mac.

What You Need

• Boot Camp Assistant 6.x. or later.
• 50 GB or more of free space on your hard drive or SSD.
• A keyboard and mouse or built-in keyboard and trackpad.
• A full install disc or ISO of Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.
• An MS-DOS (FAT) formatted flash drive.

Previous Versions of Boot Camp Assistant

This guide was written using Boot Camp Assistant 6.x. However, although the exact text and menu names may be different, Boot Camp Assistant 4.x and 5.x are similar enough that you should be able to use this guide with the earlier versions.

If your Mac has an earlier version of Boot Camp Assistant or earlier versions of OS X (10.5 or earlier), you can use our detailed guide to using these earlier versions of Boot Camp Assistant.

Which Versions of Windows Are Supported

Since Boot Camp Assistant downloads and creates the Windows drivers needed to finish the Windows install, you need to know which version of Boot Camp Assistant works with which version of Windows.

• Boot Camp Assistant 4.x: Windows 7
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.x: 64-bit Windows 7, 8
• Boot Camp Assistant 6.x: 64-bit Windows 10

Your Mac will have a single version of Boot Camp Assistant, making it difficult though not impossible, to install other versions of Windows that aren't directly supported by the version of Boot Camp Assistant you're using.

To install alternate Windows versions, you'll need to manually download and create the Windows Support Drivers. Use the following links, depending on the version of Windows you wish to use:

Boot Camp Support Software 6 is the current version and can be downloaded via the Boot Camp Assistant app.

Before You Begin

Part of the process of installing Windows on your Mac involves repartitioning the Mac's drive. While Boot Camp Assistant is designed to partition a drive without any data loss, there is always the possibility that something can go wrong. And when it comes to losing data, we always think something can go wrong.

So, before going any further, back up your Mac's drive now. There are plenty of backup applications available; some of our favorites include:

When your backup is finished, we can start working with Boot Camp Assistant.

We highly recommend that the USB flash drive used in this guide be connected directly to one of your Mac's USB ports. Do not connect the flash drive to your Mac via a hub or other device. Doing so can cause the Windows install to fail.

Boot Camp Assistants Three Tasks

Boot Camp Assistant can perform three basic tasks to help you get Windows running on your Mac, or uninstall it from your Mac. Depending on what you wish to accomplish, you may not need to make use of all three tasks.

Boot Camp Assistant's Three Tasks

• Create a Windows 10 or later install disk — Boot Camp Assistant can use a USB flash drive or an external USB drive to create an install disk from a Windows 10 ISO image file. There are various ways to acquire the ISO image file of Windows, but the easiest is to simply download the image file directly from Microsoft.
• Download the latest Windows support software from Apple — With this option, your Mac downloads the latest Windows 10 drivers and supporting software that allows Windows to work with your Mac's hardware. The support software will be copied to the USB flash drive you are using for the Windows 10 install disk.
• Install Windows 10 or later version — This option will either create a Windows partition on your Mac's startup drive or allow you to remove a Windows partition if one is already present. The actual name of this option will change if you already have a Windows partition on your Mac to Remove Windows 10 or later version.

If you are creating a Windows partition, your Mac will automatically start the Windows installation process once the appropriate partition is created.

If you're removing a Windows partition, this option will not only delete the Windows partition but also merge the newly freed space with your existing Mac partition to create one larger space.

Selecting the Tasks

Place a checkmark next to the tasks you wish to perform. You can select more than one task; the tasks will be performed in the appropriate order. For instance, if you select the following tasks:

• Download the latest Windows support software from Apple.
• Install Windows 10 or later version.

Your Mac will first download and save the Windows support software, and then create the necessary partition and start the Windows 10 install process.

Normally you would select all of the tasks and have Boot Camp Assistant run them all for you concurrently. You can also select one task at a time; it makes no difference to the final outcome. In this guide, we will treat each task as if you selected it separately. So, to make proper use of this guide, follow the instructions for each task you select. Remember that if you select more than one task, your Mac will automatically continue on to the next task.

Create the Windows Installer

Boot Camp Assistant needs to create a Windows 10 installer disk. To perform this task, you need a Windows 10 ISO image file to be available. The ISO file can be stored on your Mac's internal drives, or on an external drive. If you don't yet have the Windows 10 installer ISO image file, you can find a link to the image on page two of this guide.

1. Make sure the USB flash drive you intend to use as the bootable Windows install disk is connected to your Mac.
2. If needed, launch Boot Camp Assistant.
3. In the Select Task window, make sure there is a checkmark in the box labeled Create a Windows 10 or later install disk.
4. You can remove checkmarks from the remaining tasks to perform just the install disk creation.
5. When you're ready, click Continue.
6. Click the Choose button next to the ISO Image field, then navigate to the Windows 10 ISO image file you have saved on your Mac.
7. In the Destination Disk section, select the USB flash drive you wish to use as the bootable Windows installer disk.
   1. Warning: The selected destination disk will be reformatted causing all data on the selected device to be erased.
8. Click the Continue button when ready.
9. A drop-down sheet will appear to warn you about the possibility of data loss. Click the Continue button.

Boot Camp will create the Windows Installer drive for you. This process can take a bit of time. When complete Boot Camp Assistant will ask for your administrator password so it can make changes to the destination drive. Supply your password and click OK.

Create the Windows Drivers

In order to get Windows working on your Mac, you need the latest version of the Apple Windows support software. Boot Camp Assistant allows you to download the Window drivers for your Mac's hardware to ensure that everything will work at its best.

Launch Boot Camp Assistant

1. Launch Boot Camp Assistant, located at /Applications/Utilities.
2. Boot Camp Assistant will open and display its introduction screen. Be sure to read through the introductory text, and pay heed to the advice to have your portable Mac connected to an AC cord. Don't rely on batteries during this process.
3. Click the Continue button.

Download the Windows Support Software (Drivers)

The Select Tasks step will display. It includes three options:

• Create a Windows 10 or later Install disk.
• Download the latest Windows support software from Apple.
• Install Windows 10 or later version.

1. Put a checkmark next to Download the latest Windows support software from Apple.
2. Remove the checkmarks from the remaining two items.
3. Click Continue.

Save Windows Support Software

You have the choice to save the Windows support software to any external drive attached to your Mac, including a USB flash drive.

We're actually going to use a USB flash drive as the external drive in this example.

Saving to a USB Flash Drive

1. Start by preparing your USB flash drive. It will need to be formatted in the MS-DOS (FAT) format. Formatting the USB flash drive will erase any data already on the device, so make sure the data is backed up somewhere else if you want to keep it. Formatting instructions for those using OS X El Capitan or later can be found in the guide: Format a Mac's Drive Using Disk Utility (OS X El Capitan or later). If you're using OS X Yosemite or earlier you can find instructions in the guide: Disk Utility: Format a Hard Drive. In both cases be sure to choose MS-DOS (FAT) as the format and Master Boot Record as the Scheme.
2. Once you format the USB drive, you can quit Disk Utility and continue with Boot Camp Assistant.
3. In the Boot Camp Assistant window, select the flash drive you just formatted as the Destination Disk, then click Continue.
4. Boot Camp Assistant will start the process of downloading the latest versions of the Windows drivers from the Apple support website. Once downloaded, the drivers will be saved on the selected USB flash drive.
5. Boot Camp Assistant may ask you for your administrator password in order to add a helper file during the writing of the data to the destination location. Provide your password and click the Add Helper button.
6. Once the Windows support software has been saved, Boot Camp Assistant will display a Quit button. Click Quit.

The Windows Support folder, which includes the Windows drivers and a setup application, is now stored on the USB flash drive. You will use this flash drive during the Windows install process. You can keep the USB flash drive plugged in if you will be installing Windows soon, or eject the drive for later use.

Saving to a CD or DVD

If you're using Boot Camp Assistant 4.x, you can also choose to save the Windows support software to a blank CD or DVD. Boot Camp Assistant will burn the information to the blank media for you.

1. Select Burn a copy to CD or DVD.
2. Click Continue.
3. Boot Camp Assistant will start the process of downloading the latest versions of the Windows drivers from the Apple support website. Once the download is complete, Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to insert blank media into your Superdrive.
4. Insert the blank media into your optical drive, and then click Burn.
5. Once the burn is complete, the CD or DVD will be ejected. You will need this CD/DVD to complete the installation of Windows 7 onto your Mac, so be sure to label the media and keep it in a safe place.
6. Boot Camp may ask for your administrator password in order to add a new helper tool. Provide your password and click Add Helper.

The process of downloading and saving the Windows support software is complete. Click the Quit button.

Create the Windows Partition

One of the primary functions of Boot Camp Assistant is to divide a Mac's drive by adding a partition dedicated to Windows. The partitioning process allows you to select how much space will be taken from your existing Mac partition and assigned for use in the Windows partition. If your Mac has multiple drives, as some iMacs, Mac minis, and Mac Pros do, you will have the option to select the drive to partition. You can also choose to dedicate an entire drive to Windows.

Those of you with a single drive won't be given the choice of which drive to use, but you will still be able to assign the amount of space you wish to use for Windows.

Boot Camp Assistant — Partitioning Your Drive for Windows

1. Launch Boot Camp Assistant, located at /Applications/Utilities.
2. Boot Camp Assistant will open and display its introduction screen. If you're installing Windows on a portable Mac, be sure the Mac is connected to an AC power source. You don't want your Mac to shut down halfway through this process because its battery ran out of juice.
3. Click Continue.
4. The Select Tasks option will display, allowing you to select one (or more) of the three different functions that Boot Camp Assistant can perform.
5. Place a checkmark next to Install Windows 10 or later.
6. While you can select all of the tasks to be done at once, this guide assumes your doing them one at a time, so remove the other two checkmarks from the task list.
7. Click Continue.
8. If your Mac has multiple internal drives, you will be shown a list of the available drives. If your Mac has a single drive, skip this step and go on to step 12.
9. Select the drive you wish to use for the Windows installation.
10. You can choose to split the drive into two partitions, with the second partition to be used for the Windows installation, or you can dedicate the entire drive for use by Windows. If you choose to use the entire drive for Windows, any data currently stored on the drive will be erased, so be sure to back this data up to another drive if you want to keep it.
11. Make your selection and click Continue.
12. The hard drive you selected in the above step will display with one section listed as macOS and the new section listed as Windows. No partitioning has been performed yet; first, you need to decide how large you want the Windows partition to be.
13. Between the two proposed partitions is a small dot, which you can click and drag with your mouse. Drag the dot until the Windows partition is the desired size. Note that any space you add to the Windows partition will be taken from the free space currently available on the Mac partition.
14. Once you've made the Windows partition the desired size, you're ready to begin the process of creating the partition and installing Windows 10. Be sure to have your bootable USB flash drive with Windows 10 Installer handy, as well as the Windows support software you created in an earlier step.
15. Close any other open applications, saving any app data as needed. Once you click the Install button, your Mac will partition the selected drive and then automatically restart.
16. Insert the USB flash drive containing Windows 10 Install disk, and then click Install.

Boot Camp Assistant will create the Windows partition and name it BOOTCAMP. It will then restart your Mac and begin the Windows installation process.

Boot Camp Assistant 4.x - Installing Windows 7

At this point, Boot Camp Assistant has partitioned your Mac's drive and restarted your Mac. The Windows 10 installer will now take over, to complete the installation of Windows 10. Just follow the onscreen instructions provided by Microsoft.

During the Windows 10 installation process, you will be asked where to install Windows 10. You will be shown an image depicting the drives on your Mac and how they are partitioned. You may see three or more partitions. It is very important that you only select the partition that has BOOTCAMP as part of its name. The partition's name starts with the disk number and partition number and ends with the word BOOTCAMP. For example, 'Disk 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP.'

1. Select the partition that includes the BOOTCAMP name.
2. Click the Drive Options (Advanced) link.
3. Click the Format link, and then click OK.
4. Click Next.

From here you can continue to follow the normal Windows 10 installation process.

Eventually, the Windows install process will complete, and your Mac will reboot into Windows.

Install Windows Support Software

With any luck, after Windows 10 installer completes and your Mac reboots into the Windows environment, the Boot Camp Driver installer will startup automatically. If it doesn't start on its own you can manually start the installer:

Windows Usb Dvd Download Tool Windows 10

1. Make sure the USB flash drive containing the Boot Camp driver installer is connected to your Mac. This is normally the same USB flash drive that was used to install Windows 10, but you could have created a separate flash drive with the driver installer if you selected the tasks in the Boot Camp Assistant independently instead of performing all tasks at once.
2. Open the USB flash drive in Windows 10.
3. Within the BootCamp folder, you will find a setup.exe file.
4. Double click the setup.exe file to start the Boot Camp driver installer.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions.

You will be asked if you want to allow Boot Camp to make changes to your computer. Click Yes, and then follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation of Windows 10 and the Boot Camp drivers.

Once the installer finishes its task, click the Finish button.

Your Mac will reboot to the Windows 10 environment.

Selecting the Default Operating System

The Boot Camp driver installs the Boot Camp Control Panel. It should be visible in the Windows 10 System Tray. If you don’t see it, click the upward facing triangle in the system tray. Any hidden icons, including possibly the Boot Camp Control Panel will be displayed.

Select the drive (OS) you wish to set as the default.

The macOS has a similar Startup Disk preference pane that you can use to set the default drive (OS).

If you need to boot to another OS on a temporary basis, you can do so by holding down the Option key when you start your Mac and then selecting which drive (OS) to use.

Creating an ISO file from any disc is pretty easy with the right free tool and is a fantastic way to back up important DVDs, BDs, or CDs to your hard drive.

Creating and storing ISO backups of your important software installation discs, and even operating system setup discs, is a smart plan. Complement that with an unlimited online backup service and you have a near bulletproof disc backup strategy.

ISO images are great because they're self-contained, perfect representations of the data on a disc. Being single files, they're easier to store and organize than outright copies of the folders and files on a disc would be.

Windows doesn't have a built-in way of creating ISO image files, so you'll need to download a program to do it for you. Fortunately, there are several freeware tools available that make creating ISO images a really easy task.

Time Required: Creating an ISO image file from a DVD, CD, or BD disc is easy but could take anywhere from a few minutes to over an hour, depending on the size of the disc and the speed of your computer.

Make an ISO From a DVD, BD, or CD Disc

1. Download BurnAware Free, a completely free program that, among other tasks, can create an ISO image from all types of CD, DVD, and BD discs.

   BurnAware Free works in Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of those operating systems are supported.

   There are also 'Premium' and 'Professional' versions of BurnAware that are not free. However, the 'Free' version is fully capable of creating ISO images from your discs, which is the aim of this tutorial. Just make sure you choose the 'BurnAware Free' download link.

   If you've used BurnAware Free before and you don't like it or it didn't work, there are alternative ways to make an ISO from a disc. See some other software suggestions at the bottom of this page.

2. Install BurnAware Free by executing the burnaware_free_[version].exe file you just downloaded.

   During or after installation, you may see one or more Optional Offer or Install Additional Software screens. Feel free to decline or deselect any of those options and continue.

3. Run BurnAware Free, either from the shortcut created on the Desktop or automatically via the last step in the installation.

   This information is never shared with Google. • To open Google Earth Pro, open your Applications folder and double-click Google Earth Pro. Fix installation errors Before attempting any of the instructions below: •. Itool for mac. Note: During the installation process, Mac OS X will ask for an administrator password.

4. Click Copy to ISO from the Disc Images column.

   The Copy to Image tool will appear in addition to the existing BurnAware Free window that's already open.

   You might have seen a Make ISO icon below the Copy to ISO one but you don't want to choose that for this particular task. The Make ISO tool is for creating an ISO image not from a disc, but from a collection of files you select, like from your hard drive or another source.

5. Choose the optical disc drive that you plan on using, from the drop-down at the top of the window. If you only have one drive, you'll only see one choice.

   You can only create ISO images from discs that your optical drive supports. For example, if you only have a DVD drive, you won't be able to make ISO images from BD discs because your drive won't be able to read the data from them.

6. Navigate to the location that you want to write the ISO image file to and give the soon-to-be-made file a name in the File name text box.

   Optical discs, especially DVDs and BDs, can hold several gigabytes of data and will create ISOs of equal size. Make sure that whatever drive you choose to save the ISO image to has enough room to support it. Your primary hard drive likely has plenty of free space, so choosing a convenient location there, like your Desktop, as the location to create the ISO image is probably fine.

   Important: If your ultimate plan is to get the data from a disc onto a flash drive so you can boot from it, please know that simply creating an ISO file directly onto the USB device isn't going to work as you expect. In most cases, like when installing Windows 10 from a flash drive, you have to take some extra steps to make this work. See How to Burn an ISO File to a USB Drive for help.

7. Insert into the optical drive you chose in Step 5 the CD, DVD, or BD disc that you want to create the ISO image from.

   Depending on how AutoRun is configured in Windows on your computer, the disc you just inserted may start (e.g., the movie may start playing or you may get a Windows installation screen). Regardless, close whatever comes up.

8. Do you get a There is no disc in the source drive message? If so, just click OK and then try again in a few seconds. Chances are, the spin-up of the disc in your optical drive hasn't completed, so Windows just doesn't see it yet. If you can't get this message to go away, make sure you're using the right optical drive and that the disc is clean and undamaged.

9. Wait while the ISO image is created from your disc. You can watch the progress by keeping an eye on the Image progress bar or the x of x MB written indicator.

10. The ISO creation process is complete once you see the Copy process completed successfully message along with the time BurnAware finished ripping the disc.

The ISO file will be named and located where you decided in Step 7.

You can now close the Copy to Image window, and also the BurnAware Free window. You can also now remove the disc you were using from your optical drive.

Creating ISO Images in macOS and Linux

Making an ISO in macOS is possible with included tools.

1. Open Disk Utility.

   You can do this via Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.

2. Go to File > New Image > Image from [device name].

3. There are also options to change format and encryption settings.

4. When finished, click Done.

Once you have the CDR image, you can convert it to ISO via this terminal command:

To convert the ISO to DMG, execute this from the terminal on your Mac:

In either case, replace /path/originalimage with the path and filename of your CDR or ISO file, and /path/convertedimage with the path and filename of the ISO or DMG file you want to create.

Windows 10 Iso For Mac

On Linux, open up a terminal window and execute the following:

Learn how to open a terminal window in Ubuntu if that's what you're using.

Replace /dev/dvd with the path to your optical drive and /path/image with the path and filename of the ISO you're making.

If you'd prefer to use software to create an ISO image instead of command line tools, try Roxio Toast (Mac) or Brasero (Linux).

Other Windows ISO Creation Tools

While you won't be able to follow our tutorial above exactly, there are several other free ISO creation tools available if you don't like BurnAware Free or if it's not working for you.

Some favorites that we've tried over the years include InfraRecorder, ISODisk, ImgBurn, ISO Recorder, CDBurnerXP, and Free DVD to ISO Maker.
