do you want to create using a usb and install from it? or a dvd?

Hi:

Until a Mac expert weighs in....

Your Mac needs to be new enough & running an Intel processor.
You can then "boot camp" it to install Win10.

Have a look here:

i installed windows 7 on a first gen mac mini back in high school and completely deleted macOS

 

Was in process of erasing disk from previous user, which seems to have gone wrong and now can't reload or download iOS from apple - nor will the Mac load its original OS on startup

 

So what I am asking is, is it possible to load WINDOWS 11 (or 10) on here somehow and how to go about it !

 

It is about 11 years old

 

Cheers

 

i can give you a link to macOS then install it and all then after do bootcamp with is better and has all the drivers needed. but it might not have drivers for windows 10

Ah, it says I don't have access to that page !

@leachim

There is a link in the article I cited that offers the proper Windows ISO.

I suggest starting with that article for basic guidance.

:-)

I can't get into Boot Camp because the disk has been erased and won't load

Trying to Reinstall OS via CmD Opt + R always comes back with Cannot reach Server

I have not got another Mac to download High Sierra, But I can obtain a USB with it on

Would that work when in Recovery environment ?

Well I almost got there with info here

Almost got to reinstalling when is said  DISK WAS LOCKED

Aaaagh

Can I unlock it from the Utility menu from the Recovery section...

This might help unlocking the disk. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252667181?sortBy=rank

In terms of successfully installing Windows on a Mac, the biggest issue you are likely to encounter is not having the correct drivers. It may install, but don't be surprised if various things don't work as expected.

Thanks

Ref Unlocking the drive...

Although some of that is dependant on being able to load the OS and making changes in Terminal

I don't have an OS, only Recovery....
