Mac users have a couple of options when it comes to installing and running Windows 10 on Mac. One can install Windows on Mac with the help of the built-in Boot Camp Assistant software offered in macOS, use virtualization software like VirtualBox to install Windows inside Mac, or manually create a new partition and then install Windows without the help of Boot Camp.
In one of our previous articles, we discussed installing Windows 10 on Mac with the help of Apple’s Boot Camp software. In this guide, we’re going to show you how to install Windows 10 on Mac without the Boot CampAssistant software. This method involves creating a new partition for Windows, preparing a bootable Windows 10 USB, and of course, installing Windows 10 on your Mac.
Complete the given below instructions to successfully install Windows 10 on your Mac without Boot Camp software. Note that this method can also be used to install Windows 8.1 on Mac.
Install Windows 10 on Mac without Boot Camp Assistant
Step 1: Turn on your Mac machine and boot into macOS. Open Launchpad, click Other and then click Disk Utility to open the same.
Step 2: Once Disk Utility is launched, select the drive (your SSD or HDD) in the left side, and then switch to the Partition tab. Disk Utility will now show you the partition layout.
Step 3: Next, click on the small “+” sign to create a new partition.
Step 4: Select the newly created partition, enter a name for your new partition (remember the name as you can easily select the newly created partition later while installing Windows), select the size (at least 30 GB), and then select the format as DOS (FAT) or ExFAT. You can choose either DOS or ExFat here, as you can format the partition to NTFS while installing Windows 10.
Click Apply button to create a new partition to install Windows. Click on the Partition button when you see the warning message. Once the new partition is ready, close Disk Utility.
Step 5: Next, you need to prepare bootable Windows 10 installation media. Download and run UNetbootin (free) and prepare the bootable USB of Windows 10.
And if you already have the bootable media, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 6: Once you have the bootable media, restart your Mac, hold down the Alt (Option) key while restarting the Mac, choose the option titled Windows (don’t select EFI unless you are very sure) to begin installing Windows on your Mac.
Step 7: Follow the simple on-screen instructions, and when you see the partition selection screen, select the newly created partition (be sure to select the right partition), click Format to format the partition with NTFS, select the formatted partition, and then click Install button to continue installing Windows on your Mac.
Note that during the installation, your system will be rebooted a couple of times. Every time your system reboots, hold down the Alt (Option) key, and then select Windows to continue the installation.
Step 8: From here on, you need to follow the normal Windows 10 installation procedure.
Step 9: Once Windows is installed on your Mac, check if everything works fine.
If keyboard, trackpad or any other hardware doesn’t work, you might need to download device drivers (Boot Camp drivers) from Apple using our how to download Boot Camp drivers on Windows 10 without Boot Camp Assistant software guide for directions.
If you plan to use Windows as your default operating system, we suggest you set Windows as default OS in boot selection screen to avoid pressing the Alt key every time you turn on your Mac. How to quickly reboot into Mac from Windows guide might also interest you.
Fonts have been one of the defining features of the Mac ever since it was first introduced. And while the Mac came with a nice collection of fonts, it usually is not long before you are installing new fonts to your Mac as fast as you can find them.
Apple Mac Manual Guide
The web is a goldmine of free and low-cost fonts for your Mac, and we firmly believe you can never have too many. You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to find just the right font, even if you have hundreds to choose from.
You don't have to be a graphics pro to need or want a large collection of fonts. There are many beginner-friendly desktop publishing programs (or word processors with desktop publishing features), and the more fonts and clip art you have to choose from, the more fun you can have creating greeting cards, family newsletters, or other projects.
Installing Fonts
Both OS X and macOS can use fonts in various formats, including Type 1 (PostScript), TrueType (.ttf), TrueType Collection (.ttc), OpenType (.otf), .dfont, and Multiple Master (OS X 10.2 and later). Often you'll see fonts described as Windows fonts, but there's a very good chance they'll work just fine on your Mac, especially those whose file names end in .ttf, which means they're TrueType Fonts.
Before you install any fonts, be sure to quit all open applications. When you install fonts, active apps won't be able to see the new font resources until they're restarted. By closing all open apps, you're assured that any app you launch after installing a font will be able to use the new font.
Installing fonts on your Mac is a simple drag-and-drop process. There are several places to install fonts; the location to choose depends on whether or not you want other users of your computer (if any) or other individuals on your network (if applicable) to be able to use the fonts.
Install Fonts Only for Your Account
If you want fonts to only be available to you, install them in your personal Library folder at yourusername/Library/Fonts. Be sure to replace yourusername with your home folder's name.
You may also notice that your personal Library folder isn't present. Both the macOS and the older OS X operating systems hide your personal library folder. Once you have the Library folder visible, you can drag any new fonts to the Fonts folder within your Library folder.
Install Fonts for All Accounts to Use
If you want fonts to be available to anyone who uses your computer, drag them to the Library/Fonts folder. This Library folder is located on your Mac’s startup drive; simply double-click the startup drive icon on your desktop and you can access the Library folder. Once inside the Library folder, drag your new fonts to the Fonts folder. You'll need to supply an administrator password in order to make changes to the Fonts folder.
Installing Fonts for All Network Users
If you want the fonts to be available to anyone on your network, your network administrator will need to copy them to the Network/Library/Fonts folder.
Installing Fonts With Font Book
Font Book is an application that comes with the Mac and simplifies the process of managing fonts, including installing, uninstalling, viewing, and organizing them. You can find Font Book at /Applications/Font Book, or by selecting Applications from the Go menu, and then locating and double-clicking the Font Book application.
One advantage of using Font Book to install a font is that it will validate a font before installing it. This lets you know if there are any problems with the file, or if there will be any conflicts with other fonts.
Previewing Fonts
Many applications display previews of fonts in their Font menu. The preview is limited to the font's name, so you don't get to see all the available letters and numbers. You can also use Font Book to preview a font. Launch Font Book, and then click the target font to select it. The default preview displays a font's letters and numbers (or its images, if it's a dingbat font). You can use the slider on the right side of the window to reduce or enlarge the display size.
If you want to view the special characters available in a font, click the Preview menu and select Repertoire.
If you would like to use a custom phrase or group of characters each time you preview a font, click the Preview menu and select Custom, then type the characters or phrase in the display window. You can switch between Preview, Repertoire, and Custom views at will.
How to Uninstall Fonts
Mac Os Manual Install
Uninstalling fonts is as easy as installing them. Open the folder that contains the font, and then click and drag the font to the Trash. When you try to empty the Trash, you may get an error message that the font is busy or in use. After the next time you restart your Mac, you'll be able to empty the Trash with no trouble.
You can also use Font Book to remove a font. Launch Font Book, and then click the target font to select it. From the File menu, select Remove (name of font).
Managing Your Fonts
Once you start adding more and more fonts to your Mac, you’re probably going to need help managing them. Simply dragging and dropping to install won’t be the easy method once you start having to worry about duplicate fonts, or fonts that are damaged (a common problem with some free font sources). Luckily, you can use Font Book to manage your fonts.
