So about a month ago I got a Macbook pro 15 retina display for like $2.3k CAD, problem is that 95% of the shit I need isn't compatible with MAC but I am going to try to get windows onto here.
Is there any way to install windows on here without having to pay or use a USB?
I'm not an Apple user.
But as far as I know you'll need a flash drive of some sort.
Isn't bootcamp free?
I have 128gb usb but can't find it, RIP..Quote:

I don't see why you would, I haven't paid for Windows ever.Quote:

As for installing it should work just fine (But then again, Apple.) Just grab any serial key off of any website and install while offline so the installer can't check online to verify if the key is "legit". Then when inside Windows, use a loader or a KMS solution to activate your copy.
You could also maybe just download a pre-activated copy. But I prefer activating myself, I don't trust pre-activated ones.
I'll try that as soon as I get my USB and i'll post a update, thanks.Quote:

Did you try this?

I get a error "This disk could not be partitioned" after I continue to install windows.Quote:
