![]() ![]() But, since the Xeons are 64-BIT, I went with the 64-BIT version of Windows 10. If you don't have a 64-BIT Microprocessor, than it should work with the 32-BIT version of Windows 10 also. This technique should work with any Macintosh with an Intel Processor that meets the requirements of Windows 10. But, that is of no consequence or effect on this operation. My Mac Pro has had it's firmware updated from 1,1 to 2,1 making it think it's a 2007 Mac Pro. My Mac Pro appears as any normal PC to Windows 10 64-BIT. I have not tried Airport, I never use it anyway on my desktops. I can't find anything that isn't running smoothly. ![]() I also downloaded both the 4.0 and 5.0 bootcamp drivers, and let Windows device manager search those extracted folders for the IDE / SATA controller drivers. I extracted the drivers, and went into Windows' Device manager, and updated the drivers in there manually for the graphics adapter by pointing it at the folder of drivers I downloaded from nVidia. I did not run their configuration program. Since I still have the factory nVidia 7300GT installed, I went to nVidia's website, and did a search for the latest Windows 7 圆4-BIT drivers. So, here's what I did after Windows was installed. Keep in mind that since we are not using BootCamp, Apple's bootcamp software appears unwilling to run in Windows 10 in this configuration (unsupported machine / Windows environment combination). I'll probably add a couple other machines with Windows to my profile for comparison purposes. Both results are in my profile, and fairly comparable to each other. But, I posted a comparison of this Mac Pro 2006 running Geekbench on Windows 10 Pro 64-BIT and Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion. ![]() I didn't pay for Geekbench, so the results are only the 32-BIT Benchmarks, despite being run on a 64-BIT version of Windows 10. The 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 with 32-BIT EFI can successfully and easily boot and run the 64-BIT version of Windows 10 (Final Release) without any major modifications.įor those who care, here is my Geekbench profile. Using the below method, anyone should be able to install any version of Windows 32-BIT or 64-BIT on their Intel-Based Mac without any concern for whether the machine is EFI 32 or EFI 64, and regardless of Apple's willingness to support that version of Windows with Bootcamp. ![]()
