Open a Terminal application window and enter the command given below to mount the EFI partition ( /dev/disk0s1) containing the Windows boot files. Download a collection of icons from the sourceforge web.Adding an Windows Icon and Label to the Startup Manager Menu This may also require installing an (script) application to select the default in both MacOS and/or Windows. For example, you may have Windows boot files in the EFI/BOOT folder, but not the correct files in the EFI/Microsoft folder on volume labeled EFI in disk0s1.īTW, you can select to the default operating system to boot from macOS and/or Windows by installing rEFInd on your Mac. Or, there is something else wrong, but there is not enough information in your question to diagnose the problem. Again, this may be because you are EFI booting Windows. I am not sure why you can not properly select Windows from System Preferences. The fact that you do not see Windows label on the Start Menu is another indicator that you probably were suppose to BIOS boot Windows. However, if all the hardware is working, there is no harm in EFI booting. You probably were suppose to install Windows to BIOS boot, instead of EFI boot. If anyone knows what’s going on, please let me know! I suspect there’s a nuance or issue with the EFI partition or MBR now that APFS is involved, because I never had this issue before with fresh installs, which this was for both sides - OS X and Windows. So I have to power down and hold option again. So, ok, it works, but why does it not say “BOOTCAMP “ or “Windows”?Īlso, if I’m in OS X and I go to the System Preferences and choose BOOTCAMP as my startup disk and restart the computer, it boots into nothing and says there’s no startup disk.
If I select that, I boot into Windows 10. But I don’t see one for Windows (BOOTCAMP). When you hold down the option key at bootup, I see a hard disk icon with “Macintosh SSD” - obviously that’s OS X. However, I have another perplexing issue.or simply curiosity.
I understand that Windows will not know what APFS is, and so Bootcamp will not work while using Windows if you want to switch over to OS X by using Bootcamp. I have been able to successfully dual boot a 2011 Macbook Pro with Windows 10 before when OS X still used the HFS file system, but things have obviously changed with how the system boots with APFS.
