Hello!
I got a Macbook Pro 2015 and i want to use it to play a few Games when i travel.

Therefore i want to put Windows on it.

I do not have the CD or anything, and i can not acsess the OSX on my Mac Book cause it died a few days ago. ( 2nd Reason i want windows on it. )

Now i want to prepare my SSD for the MAC on my PC. I plugged it in my PC via SATA and Opened Disc Utilitys on windows, i Formated the SSD to NTFS and now

i want to put windows on it, so later i can just unplug it from my PC and put it into the MAC and hopefully works then.

I know the basics of Formating and Installing OS, so how do i do it the best way and fastest way?

ey i think you should use bootcamp for the windows installation. no need for other pc to make the bootable usb stick.

i have already did the windows installation in my macbook pro 2012. you just need to download the drivers which is included when you go to the bootcamp setup. you just need to download the windows iso from microsoft website and a minimal of 4gb of usb storage :D

take your mac to the apple store i know there are usually faraway but they can reinstall os x, and probably even windows 10 if you supply them with a product key and ask nicely

open your iso file and drag all the files into the usb drive, make sure that only these files are on the drive

you cannot run a iso file from a usb, what is correct however is that the iso contains the files, and need simply to be opened up and dragged to the usb, it may be a good idea to back the iso file up just in case however, also you could use a tool that will do this for you but its rather simple
