Even if you plug in a keyboard and mouse over USB (through the USB to USB-C adapter) you still won't see the SSD when choosing a partition. While you can *boot* from the ISO, as I said above, you can't actually do anything once you're booted in and starting at the first step of setup because the keyboard and trackpad don't work.
Nor does using the direct ISO downloads that I mentioned. One, using the ISO created by Microsoft's Win10 MC tool doesn't work for the Retina MacBook 12" 2015.
It's sooooo annoying that MS won't just give you a Win10 key if you give them a Win8.1 key (they even remoted into my machine to confirm it was valid and installed, but still no!)Īnyway, hope that helps and saves you the three days of hurt I've had trying to get Win10 Pro on my 2015 rMB 12".įew clarifications to the above and an update on my update! ?
Once you do get the upgrade installed, you can use Magical Jellybean's KeyFinder to get your shiny new Windows 10 key, then if you want, do a clean install that way. simply go to 'Reboot and install updates' and it will complete the setup that way. Specifically it will die when it's trying to reboot and say 'Something Happened' and that it failed. you can't btw) the update will fail on the new rMB 2015 because of the new SSD. if you don't have a purchased Windows 10 key and are instead getting a free update to it from Win7 or Win8x (I'm guessing not bc of wanting to boot to an iso, but just in case you think you can upgrade that way. Called back a second time (waited 2 hours on hold *again* and got the same answers.)Īnother thing. I literally (as in the real definition of it) spent over six hours today on the phone arguing with Microsoft that I needed a key and had valid Win8.1 keys but they said no, you *have* to do an upgrade. MAKE SURE you have a Windows 10 key *FIRST*. For instance, I used the Windows 10 Media Creator to make an ISO that had 32-bit and 64-bit versions on one disk and it didn't get recognized. You have to download the specific Windows 10 64-bit ISO from Microsoft.
From PC, transfer the ISO file to Mac and paste to Documents or any location.Use Boot Camp to install Windows from your ISO file Wait for your download to finish and copy to your USB.You will see a screen asking you to choose the media to use.Select “Create installation media for another PC”.Download Microsoft Installation Media Creation Tool.Get the ISO file Windows 10 using Windows Media Creation Tool. To solved this issue, this is what I did. There is not enough space available on the disk.” Take note that I am using Sandisk 3.0 32GB. During the process, Boot Camp give me this error, “Your bootable drive cannot be created.
I converted it to ISO file using OS X Disk Utility giving me 7.89GB file size.
