We're going to trick Windows 10 to use the older legacy BIOS booting and to also use partitioning called MBR rather than the newer EUFI and GPT technologies. I know many purists will scoff at this point since a Mac Pro uses UEFI for booting but since we will be dual booting and macOS Mojave on Mac Pros don't play nicely when Windows 10 is using what's called a GPT partition for UEFI booting, we'll completely bypass the booting problems that come with those technologies. The next thing you'll need is access to an older PC or a PC with a motherboard that allows you to set the UEFI boot to Legacy BIOS boot. If not, you'll have to free up a drive slot or follow another method. All of this assumes that you do indeed have a free drive slot in your Mac Pro to place the new drive. This will save us from dealing with UEFI booting issues with macOS Mojave.
On top of that, using a second drive makes it easier to get the proper windows 10 partition type and installation files onto the new drive. I bought a 'slower' SATA SSD because it's faster than a simple HDD, inexpensive, and completely compatible with the Mac Pro's internal SATA specifications.īuying a secondary drive allows us to bypass issues of partitioning the macOS drive.
I bought a 240GB Kingston SATA SSD for $30. The first thing we will need is a secondary disk drive for the Windows 10 OS. VPN Deals: Lifetime license for $16, monthly plans at $1 & more
