It was working fine until latest OS update, but then having ACPI issues when booting up Windows so I attempted a reinstall of Windows. Search Apple Support: BootCamp and read the manual. Question: Q: Bootcamp install windows to black screen I am running Macbook 12 inch (early 2015), trying to install Window 10 through bootcamp. Once you have Windows set up and secure, use Winclone (in OS X) to make several backups to external drive, however make sure to run a Windows check disk beforehand or you may get a corrupted image that won't restore when you need it. Wifi was working fine on bootcamp up until now and still runs on macOS just fine. A couple days ago wifi suddenly stopped working, Im certain I didnt manually to anything to cause this and all I get is 'no internet, secured' when I try and connect to my wifi. Also you need to run Windows Update until it's 100% completely clear with no more updates, then also install the free Microsoft Security Essentials and update that also, as Win 7 doesn't come with a AV software. So Ive been using bootcamp to use windows 10 over the past couple weeks, and the internet has been working no trouble.

If you don't do this then the EFI firmware tries to boot from the BootCamp partition like it's supposed to and since there is no operating system there, you get the black screen and blinking cursor.Īfter you got Windows on, you need to run the Apple setup.exe program to install the Apple drivers for the hardware into Windows or nothing works.

When the machine reboots automatically (no option key) then it goes right into Windows to finish installing. you must be logged on with an Administrator account and a non-blank password.

What people do is they don't read Apple instructions for installing Windows, it requires holding the option key down while booting to use Startup Manager manually first select the Windows boot ISO so it can format the BootCamp partition NTFS (Apple only does FAT32/MSDOS as they don't have a license to format/write to NTFS) then run the Windows installer. To fix the Pending screen problem or startup delays with Norton for Mac. Then it tells the EFI firmware to boot first from Windows as the installer has to repeat reboots a few times (also all those Windows Updates need to be installed). What happens is BootCamp software creates another partition on the boot drive to get it ready to install Windows.
