Install windows 10 on Mac High Sierra using Boot Camp | Issues & FiX
I'm going to show you how to windows 10 on mac os high sierra with boot camp. I did run into some boot camp issues but once fixed, the windows 10 installation went smooth without a hitch.
You need at leat 40 GB of free space on mac for bootcamp to be to partition your mac but it's better to have 45-50 GB free to be on the safe side and you need to download the windows 10 iso file from Microsoft.
I ran into boot camp issues and errors like boot camp giving warning saying there is not enough space on the startup disk. Firstly, I learned after reading around that you need to disable time machine automatic backups and you may use the terminal command to delete the time machine old timestamps which could be the culprit. You can do it by simply following the commands given below this post.
Now, the first command didn't work for me so I tried the other fix and it took a bit of time but it worked like charm. Copy the command and enter it in the terminal and wait for the command to finish. It will give warning that your mac is running out of space but just IGNORE IT. Don't try to again free up space.
Once the command finishes executing, you need to enter the delete command which will again clear up your mac free space as was before whether it was 40-50 or whatever it was free before.
Now, open bootcamp and viola it works at least it worked for me. Just partition as per your requirement and install windows 10.You need internet connection through out the process.
