1. Hey I’m trying to install windows on my Mac, but it gets stuck on
   “partitioning disk” any idea what I can do?

   • Have you tried cancelling, restarting, and running BCA again?

   • You’ve to format the partition (again) as NTFS. Is that it or you mean it
     gets stuck while doing it?

2. hey man great video!
   can you link the wallpaper?

   • All the wallpaper (in Windows and macOS) is stock wallpaper.

3. Hello,
   Why would I loose my settings on windows? What could go wrong?
   I understand it’s good to backup a sistem but I thought windows can do that
   too! Windows 7 can…
   I realy don’t know!

   • If you got a new MacBook, or if your Mac crashes, or . It’s just nice to have what is essentially a pre-configured
     Windows installation ready to go at any time. It’s especially good for
     someone like me who does tests all the time.

4. awesome

5. This is literally what I was needing to research and do TONIGHT and I
   wasn’t even sure what to search for. I’m so glad I subscribed. Reading my
   mind! Thank you!

   • Awesome when things work out that way.

6. I have a Mac Mini (Late 2014), last week I installed Windows 10 using boot
   camp following your video. The partition was Windows has 200GB and MacOS
   has 600GB from the 1TB 5400RPM HDD.

   For the past couple days my Mac will randomly restart when using Windows
   and MacOS. This problem never occurred before the boot camp partition.

   I have updated all drivers for Windows and have the latest version of
   Windows 10 however, I still have to buy Windows 10 Home.

   Can you please help me fix this issue… Also I’m planning on upgrading my
   standard HDD in my Mac Mini to a fast SSD.

7. Does Windows still mess up that MacBook’s speakers?

   • Volerikan That was fixed last year! You’re a safe (I’ve installed Windows
     10 twice on multiple 2016 MacBook 15″ devices and had no issues with the
     speakers playing sound).

8. Can you clone Windows on one Mac and put the image onto another?

9. can’t you use dd or another free tool. 20$ for a copy tool, which probably
   only uses system tools is a bit much.

10. Hey dude great video, one question, can you store your windows image out of
    your mac, let’s say in a external hard drive or iCloud Drive for example?

11. Are you gaming on the 5K LG Display? I thought you need to connect the
    display directly to the GPU when using a eGPU Setup (?) How does it perform
    when pumping the signal though the thunderbold 3 cable twice?

12. So basically, you made a back up, widened your partition for bootcamp, and
    reinstall the back up with ease of just 1 app? Windows could use that in
    their PC’s..
