That way there is no need for Bootcamp Assistant and you are free to choose how to partition your drive. The result of that will be written to a USB drive which then can be used to boot from and launch the installation. The approach will be to use the “old” Windows 10 installer and combine that with the Windows 11 installation files. Creating the bootable Windows 11 USB installer Nevertheless, nothing stops you in using a M1 Mac to create the USB installer. ![]() There is an ARM-based version of Windows 11 on the way but I haven’t tested that yet. Keep in mind that running Windows 11 natively on a M1 Mac currently is not working with this method. ![]() For this article I used a Macbook Air Early 2015 which has a Core I5-5250U and 8GB of RAM and with a few minor tweaks, I got Windows 11 to install and everything working just fine, including updates. As by default, due to the specific hardware requirements mentioned above, it refuses to get installed without any further changes. Also please go through the posts regarding triple boots, answered by klanomath and David Anderson.Windows 11 is about to be released at the time of writing this and I was very curious to find out if I would manage to get it to work on one of my Macs. The chances of losing your data are high. P.S: Please don't experiment with the partition tables without fully understanding them. Removing and recreating the corrupted volume and sometimes complete partition table (in case of bogus MBR)įinally, I would like to thank At0mic for giving me a starting point and klanomath and David Anderson for sharing their invaluable knowledge to help out this community.Understanding your partition table and type of partition.Creating an OS-X bootable USB installer on Windows.The following are the links to the other questions that were helpful to me. Luckily after a lot of searching, I found a solution to create bootable USB on windows in another site. I didn't have a bootable USB installer and no access to another MAC. MAC was not recognising USB-ETHERNET cable either. Due to this, I couldn't use the internet recovery option. Posting the same here to close this question.Īs mentioned by At0mic in the comments section, I started my search from that link and was able to successfully retrieve my partition. I posted the same question in the Superuser site and found a solution. Is there any chance to recover the boot option for Mac OS without complete restore? So decided to free that space with bootcamp and now lost access to Mac OS. Succeeded but lost access to Windows partition. TL DR: Initially installed Windows 10 using bootcamp in Macbook pro. I know that I can do a complete reinstall but just wanted to know if there is any way to regain my Mac OS boot option without a complete restore? Currently Ubuntu is working fine. Auto boot is still set to Ubuntu and no option is shown when using the option key. Today I decided to retain the unused Windows partition space and hence, booted into Mac OS and deleted the Windows partition using bootcamp and did a restart. Auto boot was changed to Ubuntu and if I held the option key during restart, I used to get an option for booting into Mac (working) and Windows (this too was not working). Even though I was successful, I realized that I could no longer boot into Windows anymore. So I partitioned my Mac OS Volume and installed Ubuntu manually. During restart it would automatically boot me into Mac OS and whenever I needed to boot into Windows, I used to hold the option key while starting and that gave me the option to boot into either Windows or continue with Mac OS.Īfter using it for a while, I decided to try out Ubuntu 20.04. Initially I used bootcamp to install Windows 10 alongside Mac OS. Excuse the long post just trying to be as clear as possible.
