Step 1

Open a following page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10iso in any web browser e.g. Safari.

Step 2

Choose Windows 10 (multi-edition ISO) from the dropdown list and click Confirm button.

Step 3

Now select product language from the dropdown list e.g. English (United States) and again click Confirm button.

Step 4

Click 64-bit Download button. This will download about 6.14 GB ISO file with Windows 10 installer directly to your Downloads folder.

Step 5

Now it's time to launch Boot Camp assistant utility. In Finder menu choose Go, then choose Utilities.

Step 6

Double-click Boot Camp Assistant icon to launch it.

Step 7

Click Continue button.

Step 8

Here you need to resize your current macOS partition, so Windows 10 would fit. Minimum size is 45 GB, but we recommend at least 100 GB as it cannot be adjusted in future.

Move the dot between partitions to set proper size you wish.

Finally, click Install button to start the installation.

Step 9

The assistant will download all the drivers needed for Windows 10 directly from Apple servers. It will take a few minutes to complete depending on your Internet connection speed. Then they will be saved on your new Windows partition.

Step 10

In the next step, the installer would partition the drive by shrinking current macOS partition.

It might take a while to complete this process depending on the size of your disk and amount of data.

Step 11

Finally, it will save Boot Camp assistant on your new Windows partition, so it could be launched post Windows 10 installation.

As soon it's finished, your computer would be automatically restarted.

Step 12

Choose your language to install, time, currency and keyboard layout and click Next button.

Step 13

Enter your Windows 10 product key and click Next button. If you don't have it yet, simply click I don't have a product key. You will be able to enter your Windows 10 product key later and activate Windows.

Step 14

If you haven't entered your Windows 10 product key, please choose a Windows version you plan to buy and click Next button to continue.

Step 15

Read the licence terms, then check the checkbox I accept the licence terms and click Next button to continue.

Step 16

Choose previously created partition named BOOTCAMP, and click Next button to start the installation.

Step 17

Installing Windows will take around 15-30 minutes depending on the speed of your hard drive.

Step 18

Wait a few seconds for automatic restart, or click Restart now button, if you don't like to wait.

Step 19

Now answer all installer questions, starting with region, and you will be presented with Windows 10 desktop.

Step 20

Apple Boot Camp assistant will start automatically. Click Next button to continue.

Step 21

Read the licence agreement and click radio button next to "I accept the terms in the licence agreement" and then Install button to start the installation.

Step 26

Now we need to update AMD drivers for the integrated AMD FirePro D300/D500/D700 graphics cards. All models use the same driver version.

Open a following website in any web browser: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/Apple-Boot-Camp-Previous.html

Look for a line with Mac Pro (2013) and click DOWNLOAD* link to download it.

Step 54

In your Downloads folder you will find unified_r5_20.45.40.15_whql_211111a-375339c.zip file.

Right-click on it, and choose Extract All... option to extract files.

Step 55

Leave the default path as is, and check the checkbox next to "Show extracted files when complete", then click Extract button.

Step 56

File will be extracted into Unified_R5_20.45.40.15_WHQL_211111a-375339C folder.

However, due to some error inside the installer the driver can't be installed in a normal way.

Step 57

Press Option+R keys (or Windows key + R keys) to launch Run.

Type cmd in the text field and press OK button to launch command prompt.

Step 58

Now type:

cd Downloads\unified_r5_20.45.40.15_whql_211111a-375339c\Unified_R5_20.45.40.15_WHQL_211111a-375339C

to enter the folder (all in one line).

You can press TAB after each slash and it will be filled automatically.

Step 59

Type:

setup.exe -INSTALL -boot

and press ENTER.

The driver will be installed in the background. There would be no progress visible. It will take around 5 minutes to complete. Then the system will be automatically restarted. Just wait patiently.

PLEASE NOTE: The display can go on and off several times during the installation.

Step 60

After restart, you can test if the new display driver is working properly. To do so, right-click on the desktop and choose AMD Radeon Pro Settings.

Step 61

If you see a screen like the one pictured, it means it's working perfectly. You don't need to change anything here unless needed.

Step 62

Now you can test if the Boot Camp application itself is working properly.

Apple Boot Camp is located in the system tray. You need to click gray triangle icon in your tray (sometimes you need to click an arrow to reveal all tray icons).

Step 63

Now select Boot Camp Control Panel... option from the context menu.

Step 64

Here you can select the default drive to boot the computer from. It could be either any macOS partition or Windows partition.

Step 65

If you have an Apple Studio Display or Apple Pro Display XDR you should now see dimming slider and automatic brightness checkbox. Also there are presets to choose from.

Please note, brightness control only works on default Apple Display (P3-600 nits) preset.

That's it. Enjoy!
