Bare Metal Windows on cMP
PART 1 of 3
This is a guide to installing Windows 10 Bare Metal on Classic Mac Pros without Bootcamp or similar.This is one of many ways to do this but is a straightforward method.
This guide is for installing Legacy Windows, as opposed to UEFI Windows, but can also be used for installing UEFI Windows with one change in the process (which will be pointed out).
UEFI Windows is now the orthodox installation setup but unlike Legacy Windows, usage, and even simply just running the installer, comes with risks of damaging Classic Mac Pros. Users need to be aware of these risks, and deal with them, should they decide to use UEFI Windows. Please search the forum or create a separate thread for this if your prefer UEFI Windows.
The installed Windows 10 instance can apparently be upgraded to Windows 11.
A link to a tool that apparently does this is provided at the end of the guide.
It may however be best to remain on Windows 10 until absolutely required.
