Bootcamp windows 10 installation takes a long time?

My MAC is running the boot camp for 10 hours and still going on, no freeze just partitioning the hard drive.

In progress is telling halfway there.

Keep waiting?


Thanks.

Intel?

T2 chip ?

M1 SoC ?


Good lord you have the patience of a saint. I would bail on this after 10 minutes max !


Something is not right.

Reboot and see where this leaves you.


You can always force shut down the Mac by holding the power button/TouchID for ~6-10 sec.

Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac - Apple ...


If need be reinstall the macOS from Recovery if your macOS is borked.
