MP 1,1-5,1 Windows 11 on Mac Pro 5,1
Sep 1, 2022
Is it possible to run Windows 11 on a 2010 Mac Pro? I have been using OpenCore, but I was told that Windows will try to write over the BootROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No problem at all. Create an install USB from ISO using Rufus (to disable TPM, 5,1 does not have this chip), start installation from OC bootpicker. Make sure you install to a different physical disk, in order to not destroy your MacOS.

It is possible to run it in Parralels. Macs lack those hw features i always forget their names, Parallels emulates it.

How do you proceed after W11 is installed? Do you install Bootcamp? I mean - is Bootcamp needed? Mine gives blue screen after bootcamp install…No problem at all.

I don’t. No bootcamp drivers at all, it’s a regular PC.How do you proceed after W11 is installed? Do you install Bootcamp? I mean - is Bootcamp needed? Mine gives blue screen after bootcamp install…
I was able to install bootcamp 6.1, but with OC bootpicker, yeah, it's probably not needed.

Having recently reformatted my Windows drive and installed a fresh copy of Windows 11 Pro, I will reiterate what's been said in this thread:
If you are using OpenCore, you DO NOT need bootcamp or brigadier or parallels.
Follow the method outlined by @hwojtek above and you will be up and running in no time.

Hi all,
in which format must be formatted the target volume to receive Windows, while installing it from a USB drive created with Unetbootin (Universal Netboot Installer) ?
Format in MBR ?
Thx

Windows 11 needs GPT UEFI, not MBR.
