Windows 10 partition Mac Monterey

Hi there,

I’m trying to create a windows 10 partition on my MBP macOS Monterey 12.4. I tried a couple of times to do this but every time I get a DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error as soon as the installation of Windows starts.

Any ideas?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.4

BootCamp Windows 10 install Windows cannot locate the disc and partition Hello, i have a 2019 MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura 13.4 I am trying to install Windows 10 in BootCamp but keep getting the following error when it boots to the Windows installer: "Windows cannot locate the disc and partition specified in the unattend answer file's <ImageInstall> setting. Make sure the setting references a valid partition and restart the installation." I have tried using multiple versions of windows, verified the checksum, backed up macOS to TimeMachine and reinstalled it, reset SMC and PRAM. When it boots back to macOS i still have the OSXRESERVED and BOOTCAMP partition until i don't remove them with BCA. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

How to install Windows 10 on MacBook Pro A1425 running Catalina? Hi folks, The lady of the house has recently given me a MacBook pro A1425 The MacBook was given a reset to factory defaults, meaning I was starting with a clean laptop Thanks to wonderful assistance given to me elsewhere on this forum (thanks again to all who helped with that), I've upgraded the OS to Catalina Previously this MacBook was running dual boot to Windows I have attempted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but repeatedly get the same error: Your Bootable USB drive could not be created An error occurred while formatting the disk. I've looked around for a solution Many on the internet refer to the USB stick formatting and capacity I've tried 2 different USB sticks (1 with 32 GB & 1 with 64 GB capacity) I've tried formatting the USB sticks as each of FAT32, exFAT & NTFS I've also tried a different USB port on the MacBook None of this has made a difference I've taken up only a 230 MB of space on the MacBook disk since I've started using it (and emptied the MacBook Bin to clear the files downloaded to upgrade the OS) Hence I don't believe there is a capacity constraint at play from the disk in the MacBook Can anyone please recommend a constructive way for me to take this forward? Thanks for any help.

I tried the steps that someone recommended to a different person with this problem:

Remove installation
smc and nvram reset
re-run BCA and install windows.

The screen gets stuck at this screen and then gives the previously mentioned DRIVER_PNP_WATCHDOG error.
