Yes, I found out about it a few years ago and it was love at first sight 😆

It was useful for AMD users who could not, for example, start the Win installation via classic USB

 

Clonezilla I used it a couple of times and didn't like it that much
I currently rely on R-Drive which I enjoy launching through VENTOY 

A real recovery unit... I launch any ISO, Clover, Opencore... Who knows one day maybe even Windows Install.app 🙏

 

Thanks for information my friend, when you could, try install Windows normally with USB Installer, on SSD or something and after that use a external case to clone to your Nvme that was inside and below from many stuffs like GPU on your MB.

 

I loved when I not need take off my all disks only for MS "caprice" to install just only Windows. So Clonezilla is best free program that im used. Simple, fast, and Clone everything with Live USB.

... I much prefer Rescuezilla with a more pleasant and intuitive interface

 

But here we are not talking about our tastes, but about WindowsInstall.app
...let's stay on topic 🤦

Hi , You must initialize the entire disk (Disk Utility) , not just the container with windows, the EFI partition will be created (empty)
you can format it in ms-dos or exfat ... the app will recreate/format the disk in NTFS

Hi, I thought I posted this query already but somehow it's not here.

My question is, with this app do you need a Copy of Windows downloaded for the app?

Thanks.

Yeap my friend @eSaF

 

Just Google Windows Download Microsoft and choose parameters to download.

 

In video tutorial, just open the App and drag and Drop ISO from Microsoft page and configure to install Windows.

 

Left run and the App will finish installation by it self, open EFI etc... Just Keep disk or reboot to enter on Windows.

 

😁

If you have a desire, click on the heart in the upper right corner of the program.

Thank you guys, we not forget donate to the Ukraine cause, thanks a lot for this brilliant and excellent program. 

 

In fact its so amazing, because the traditional way to install Windows has many trouble with disks, especially Nvme, and take off, put again, disconnect GPU, etc...

 

This program is affordable and exclusive to make this task easy and softly 

 

Amazing Job ! Really !!

Gentlemen. Does anyone have the opportunity to test installing Windows legacy boot on an old Mac?

Conditions - the system is not higher than MacOS 12 Monterey and the disk should not be a system one (unless it is a hybrid one and Windows has not been installed before)

Hi Sergey,

Just trying the software on MacPro5,1 running Monterey.  I am getting an Incorrect Password Enter Admin password error.

The log file is this:

security: SecKeychainSearchCopyNext: The specified item could not be found in the keychain.
Password:Sorry, try again.
Password:
sudo: no password was provided
sudo: 1 incorrect password attempt
STOP! Incorrect password!

I am an administrator and I am entering my password.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello. For some reason, the program cannot write the password into the keychain and, accordingly, retrieve it from there.

As an example, you can try writing down the password in the terminal:

security add-generic-password -a ${USER} -s passTEST -w 1234

See if the password has been registered:

security find-generic-password -a ${USER} -s passTEST -w

Remove it:

security delete-generic-password -a ${USER} -s passTEST

Try the legacy version of Windows Install 5.9.1, this version does not write the password to the keychain, but this version can only install Windows UEFI. - https://sourceforge.net/projects/windows-install/files/
