Entrepreneurs often face client situations that need a windows computer. But few can justify the cost of more hardware. We can be thankful that Apple’s Boot Camp Assistant allows them to add a Windows partition to Mac.

The question is, “Can I run Windows on Mac?”

Many are fearful of the needed technical steps. The process takes a good amount of time because you have to install another system. An easier solution is to make Windows portable.

Read on to learn how to run Windows on a Mac. And the differences between setting up partitions versus using a portable drive.

Run Windows on Mac

Boot Camp is an Apple technology that provides a simple way to run Windows on your Mac. It installs the software needed to load Windows via an online download. Boot Camp then sets up the partitions with your input.

If you have a 1TB drive, you must figure out how much of it will use Windows. Will you choose 100GB or 300GB? If you set up too much, you will waste your hard drive space.

There is an easier choice that I’ll share in a bit. But I’ll go over the process first.

To run Windows on a Mac using Apple’s Bootcamp Assistant:

1. Select the amount of hard drive you will allocate for Windows. Let’s say we’ll use 100Gb for the Window’s partition.
2. Download the Boot Camp Assistant from Apple’s site and install it.
3. Launch Boot Camp Assistant and follow its instructions.
4. Download a copy of Microsoft’s Windows 10 ISO from their site and install it. (Windows 10 is best. The server versions of Windows can cause problems on newer models like the Macbook Pro.)
5. Restart your computer holding down the option key. Select the partition you want to use: Mac or Windows.

Well, can you run Windows on Mac? YES!

Best Way to Run Windows on Mac

The above instructions come with two words of caution. First, you have to know how much hard drive to allocate or you’ll strand useable disc space for nonuse. Second, many individuals have damaged their Mac programming in the process.

We can be thankful that companies like Wittytool make the process safer. Instead of changing your hard drive, consider building a Windows USB portable system.

Win10 To Go

By using Win10 To Go, you can make a safe portable windows drive on a USB drive. It can then boot from your Mac. This lets you use the Windows 10 operating system on your Mac.

The Win10 To Go works with USB 2.0 and faster. It will work on both BIOS and UEFI firmware. This disk will allow you to boot from Windows 10 on your Mac.
Win10 To Go can also migrate Windows10 to any other external disk of your choice.

The only concern is the new M1 laptops. This new Mac uses a T2 encryption function. For the portable Windows drive to work well, you’ll have to turn off the encryption.

This is a small factor when considering the ability to boot Windows 10 from your USB drive. You also get the added benefit of not having to worry about what size partition to make. The entire USB drive can be for Windows 10 without impacting your Mac.

Run Windows Programs on Mac

You can use Boot Camp Assistant to set up and run Windows on Mac. Once set up you can switch between Mac and Windows 10 as needed. The only issues are putting your hard drive at risk and setting the wrong size partition.

The good news is that Wittytools Win10 To Go can help you turn a USB drive into a Windows 10 USB portable system. You no longer have to worry about partition size and the safety of your hard drive. You’ll be able to boot Windows 10 from the USB drive on your Mac.
