Hey guys, in this video
Hey guys, in this video I'm going to be showing you how to install Windows 10 via DVD using a modified version of Boot Camp Assistant on an unsupported Mac, which in my case is a 2010 Mac Pro.
This way allows you to install Windows using a non-Mac compatible graphics card like a RX 580, but if you do have a mac compatible graphics card and would rather not burn a DVD, you should check out the Boot Camp via USB guide instead.

WARNING
Installing Windows is generally safe, but you can accidentally select the wrong disk to format and end up wiping macOS, so be very careful to select the BOOTCAMP partition. Proceed at your own risk.
GUIDE
Alright first up, if you don't already have a copy of Windows, just jump on google and get a copy of the latest iso from the Microsoft website.
Once downloaded, right click the file and select burn and burn it on a DVD.
If you press command space, you'll see that by default Boot Camp won't allow you to install Windows 10. But, don't worry you can enable it by modifying the app. Just go into Finder - Applications - Utilities. Make a copy of Boot Camp Assistant and right click on the copy and select Show Package Contents. You then want to open up the Info.plist with TextEdit.
Inside you want to search for NonWin10Models - Where you should see your Mac version listed, in my case I'll just remove the entry MacPro5,1.
Now if you launch the modified Boot Camp Assistant app, it should say Install Windows 7 or later version.
Insert a USB drive in, and select it to be used for installing the Boot Camp drivers to.
After your USB drive is prepared, you'll be able to select how much space you want to give Windows. Now be careful at this stage as it's really hard to modify the amount of space after setting, so pick a size you're happy with.
Boot Camp Assistant will now go ahead and try to reset your computer to Windows, but note it does take around 5 minutes to boot from the DVD drive.
Go ahead and select your region and input your product key. When you get to the Where do you want to install Windows screen, select the BOOTCAMP labelled partition. Windows will at this stage require you to format the partition to NTFS. Note, this won't affect macOS, just the new partition you selected earlier when you split your drive up.
If after formatting Windows complains of a 0x80300024 error, that just means it's confused about which drive it should install Windows still. In my case, I was installing Windows on a PCIe SSD drive and I needed to unplug the SATA drive I had plugged in.
Once unplugged, I was able to continue.
After the install, Windows will restart your computer, but in my case into the DVD installer. So, I had to eject the DVD out, but as the SuperDrive eject button is behind the case, it was more work than it should have been.
Once the DVD is out, Windows should continue to install.
Alright, that's pretty much it, finish up the installer, go ahead and install the Boot Camp drivers and reboot your machine.
You might notice that your screen is a little stretched at first, but after Windows update has finished updating the drivers for your graphics card, all should be good in the world.
One thing to note is that some users have experienced issues when swapping the PCI slots of the graphics cards, so it's worth making sure you have your go to graphics card in the slot you plan on using it long term.
Finally, to get back into macOS you can use the Boot Camp app. Unfortunately, if you are using a non-Mac compatible graphics card, as the boot manager isn't loaded, it'll just reboot you back into Windows.
So to get around this, you can either have both your Mac compatible graphics card and your non-Mac compatible graphics card plugged into your Mac at the same time, or reset the PRAM every-time you want to reboot back into macOS - which unfortunately is very tedious.
Once back in macOS you can always reboot back into Windows again from System Preferences - Startup Disk.
Alright, I hope you found this guide useful, and I'd love to hear how the install went for you.
