MacBook Pro 2014 13" Retina with third-party SSD (Samsung Evo 970 500GB)

Some steps may be unnecessary (post will be updated if i'll get some useful information). I spent 3 evenings in experiments on theoretically basic operation and want to kill somebody write down a successful sequence of steps. The culprit on my 13" 2009 MBP was the Nvidia driver, no matter if the driver came from bootcamp or via windows update.This post does not pretend to be complete and perfect guide to subject. You can complete an install in UEFI mode, disregarding all of the above, but when you update the video driver the machine will almost certainly bluescreen on the first reboot. Format the partition as FAT, and then when it's displayed during the Windows install, reformat it as NTFS. If you create the partition using disk utility, be careful to name it BOOTCAMP or the installation will fail. That's accomplished by naming the partition BOOTCAMP, which is done automatically if you use bootcamp assistant to do the partitioning. The partition that you install Windows into also has to be a hybrid mbr partition. These older Macs must install Windows in BIOS mode and if you use a USB installer, the installation will be in UEFI mode. The basic rule is that if your MacBook Pro has a DVD drive, you must install using DVD, not USB. You might find this video from Mr Macintosh helpful. That is the way that works for me for 2009 - 2010 minis and besides the ahci controller be configurated in IDE instead of SATA mode, all works fine (AFAIK its a limitation from apple in the legacy bios mode that only affects 2010 maybe some 2011 and early macs). Install W10 without internet, install your graphics drivers, install BC6 and later (a hrutkai mods video on YouTube shows how to install BC6 to bypass the check for supported machines), use your respective BC drivers to install the missing drivers, connect to the internet and update the OS. Maybe you will stuck in the installer without being able to format the partition to NTFS or in the instalation of the graphics driver you wiil ended with a black screen.įind bootcamp 6 installer online and download your respective bootcamp drivers from boot camp asistant. If you make an usb W10 installer it will install in EFI mode and those era macs doesnt like it. I have done that on mac mini 20, you should use disk utility to create the a fat32 partition, and boot the installer from the dvd drive.
