![]() ![]() This could be one of your SATA-2 connected drives or it could be a PCIe connected SSD, I used the latter. Install either Paragon or Tuxera (neither is free but it will come in handy later on, I used Paragon.) Setup your NTFS drive partition from Disk Utility in macOS. ![]() I assume that if you have a newer Windows installer version it will setup an EFI NTFS partion so you won't need to do this next step. Depending on how old your Windows 10 USB stick is (mine was from 2015) the installer is going to try to create an MBR partition for you which won't boot on Mac Pro 5,1. ![]() I'm going to assume that you have Windows 10 on a USB flash drive either one that you created yourself or one of the official USB sticks from Microsoft. If you have an SSD in one of your four SATA-2 bays and you're running High Sierra and you want to install from a Windows 7 or Window 8 DVD you can install using Boot Camp Assistant that comes with High Sierra, if not, and for most of us that's not going to be good enough, it's going to take a bit more work than that.

The first step is to get boot screen going so you can see what's happening in the pre-boot environment assuming you are using a PC graphics cards and not a Mac flashed one.
