Installing Windows 10 Bootcamp on Your IMAC

If you're an Intel-powered Mac user, you can easily install Windows 10 using Bootcamp Assistant. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to download and install Windows 10 Home.

Step 1: Go to the Azure Dev Tools For Teaching site and login with your WSU Email Address and Password. Click on Software on the left and select Windows 10 Education, version 21H1 – DVD. Download the Windows 10 ISO by clicking the Download Button at the bottom.

Step 2: Once the ISO download is completed, launch Boot Camp Assistant in Applications → Utilities and click Continue. Make sure you pay attention to where this is saved.

Step 3: Click the Choose button next to the ISO image box and select the ISO file downloaded in step 1.

Step 4: Adjust the Boot Camp partition size by moving the Windows partition to the desired amount of space. Keep in mind that if you plan on installing a large amount of Windows 10 applications and games, you'll need to take that into consideration and allocate enough storage space for the Windows 10 partition.

Step 5: After selecting the ISO file and adjusting the partition sizes, click Install.

Step 6: Upon reboot, you'll see the Windows logo followed by the Windows Setup screen. You will then be prompted to enter your administrator password, and shortly thereafter, macOS will reboot into Windows Setup. The Boot Camp Assistant will download Windows support software, partition the disk, and copy the necessary Windows files to get started.

Step 7: You'll now arrive at the Activate Windows box. Select the desired language, time and country format, along with keyboard or input method, and click Next.

Step 8: Select Windows 10 Home as the version to install. Do not activate it now; you will activate it later after installation using the product key you got from Azure.

Click I don't have a product key at the bottom of the box.

Note that Bootcamp Will Not Work with Apple M1 Processor-powered Macs, so you may need to consider alternative options such as Parallels. You can check your processor in 'About This Mac' by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left of your screen.
