In this video I will show you how to install Windows 10 UEFI so you can dual boot your OCLP Unsupported Mac with macOS Sonoma, Ventura, Monterey or Big Sur. UPDATES & CHAPTERS BELOW!
Use UEFI Windows 10 install if you have an older Mac that does not have a CD/DVD drive. If you have a mac with a CD/DVD drive use Legacy BIOS Install.
Updates Section: If you have a GeForce 330M graphics card, you will have issues with UEFI Windows due to driver problems. You will need to install Windows 10 via Legacy / BIOS. I will be covering that in my Legacy BIOS Windows 10 install =

This video is for installing Windows 10 in EFI or UEFI mode so you can dual boot an unsupported OCLP Mac with macOS Big Sur or Monterey. If you are not running OCLP, I might make a video showing how to install the standard way.
When installing Windows 10 + OCLP, we have 2 different ways to install. In this video, I will show you how to install Windows 10 using UEFI / EFI and GPT file system. In my next video I will show you how to install using Legacy BIOS & MBR file system. A Legacy/MBR install can have better reliability and could have less driver issues for 2013 and older Macs.
BACKUP UP ALL DATA before you begin. This is just in case, what we are doing will retain all your data on the OCLP Big Sur or Monterey OS.
You don’t need another Mac or Windows PC to follow the steps in this video!

2011-2012 have basic UEFI compatibility. The install does work, but you might have some issues like BSOD & Driver issues.
2013-2014 models support both EFI and BIOS. Mid 2013 MBPro Bootcamp installs BIOS by default. Late 2013 & 2014 installs EFI by default.
