[SOLVED] Bootcamp Win 10 on MacOS Sierra

GreatestPhenom · Jun 4, 2017

Hey guys.

I am new to bootcamps and all. I want some help regarding bootcamping my MacBook Air

(macOS Sierra 10.12.4, 13-inch, Early 2015, 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536MB).

I currently have a WD Elements 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive (which apparently has USB 3.0 and Mac support).

And yes, I am planning for Windows 10 Bootcamp.

I would like to know if this Hard Drive is compatible for some light gaming on my MacBook Air and also the exact process for Bootcamp for this situation.

Thanks for helping me in advance.

Just follow this tutorial for bootcamp (note when i did boot camp on my mac i encountered problems with different external drives not working so i had to try a few different ones before i managed to complete the process): https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201468

I assume you mean can u game using this external drive? If that is what you mean then for light games should be okay at USB 3.0 but not really that ideal.

Which External Drive did you use, may I ask?

Okay, so basically my Hard Drive offers the same specifications as your Sandisk Hard Drive other than its storage. But did you experience any lags or frame drops during gaming sessions or while editing videos?
For example, while playing lower end games like Age of Empires III or editing a 720p video of about 15 minutes.

I personaly played COD world at war and no noticeable frame drops i have not done any video editing but i would assume you should be fine at 720p
