After you install Windows via Boot Camp, you may notice that your Mac will now boot up into Windows by default. This brief tutorial will show you how to set your Mac to load OS X rather than Windows each time it starts up. First things first – start your Mac in OS X. To do this, hold down the Option key while your Mac starts up. You’ll be presented with a list of each bootable Operating System on your Mac.

I had an awful time getting Win8 installed on my cMP 1,1>2,1, but then found an install DVD that would boot and installed it in BIOS mode on a HDD. I then installed BC using some magic (can't remember where I got the instructions) and everything worked perfectly. I was even able to upgrade it to Win10. Since then I've moved to a cMP 4,1>5,1 and plugged the Win10 HDD into it.

I've since cloned my Win10 HDD to a SSD using Paragon's Hard Disk Manager (it was the only way I found to clone a Windows partition successfully - it's a great app, and NO I'm not being paid to say so) which copies both the EFI partition as well as the Win10 OS partition to another volume.

This is not strictly necessary, but it avoids some potential problems and accidents. • Turn on computer and boot to Windows disc. (Don't use the USB installer.) • Install as normal. • After installation, in Windows, download and install boot camp drivers. • Download and install video card drivers from the mfr, and any other third party drivers you need (like Logitech mouse, etc).

• Turn off, add all the other drives back. If you switch between operating systems a lot, I suggest installing rEFInd at some point after everything is working.
