Every time on the Mac to install Windows is a very painful thing, once in order to install WIN8 the whole Mac hard drive data lost, finally through the Turtle Speed System Recovery mode restored MACOSX (50M Telecom Fiber downloaded 3 days to download the system), I believe that I have the same experience with a few friends.
A few days ago, Microsoft released a new masterpiece, WINDOWS10, to write a concise tutorial to help people who have not installed Windows on their Mac to complete the installation.
No. 0 Step Material preparation
Before installing WINDOWS10, be prepared to:

Bootable 8G or larger USB drive
It is recommended to use the USB3.0 high-speed U disk, which can save a lot of installation time.
1th Step making Windows 10 startup USB Drive
Launchpad, open Boot Camp assistant.
Tick continue to create a Windows 7 or later installation disk and download the latest Windows support software from Apple.
Select the WIN10 installation image, the destination disk Select a USB flash drive (warning: See the destination disk selection is not the inserted USB flash drive, do not put the other mobile hard disk or anything to format).
Wow on the daily do, or lol on the WINDOWS10 after the installation of USB stick should only be done.
2nd Step Partitioning
Bootcamp to install the USB drive will allow us to adjust the size of the hard disk partition to allocate the required disk space to install WINDOWS10.
In this step there are two things to note, the first is to use Bootcamp for the partition we created to install Windows, this way after installing Windows My computer has only a partition called Bootcamp. If this is the case, a direct restart of the MAC after the steps described above will automatically boot the WINDOWS10 installer, which does not require (and cannot) make any adjustments to the disk partition during the installation process and installs Windows directly into the bootcamp partition.
Here we focus on how to make windows with multiple partitions installed.
Complete the above production and installation of the USB flash drive, do not busy focus on Mac, open the disk tool in Launchpad, select the root of the disk on the left, and then select the tab inside the Section tab. Layout, remove any partitions other than the Macintosh .
Partition layout is installed after Windows partition layout, installation time forget, but the same meaning, to remove the volume label is bootcamp partition, so that the remaining disk space in Windows Installer as unused disk space.
Restart your Mac and go to Windows Installer, select the partition when you select the disk space, click New to create the partition.
After the partition is created for the first time, the system automatically divides a partition with a size of 60m~200m and another large partition, noting that the first partition needs to be preserved and not changed to remove the second large partition.
Create separate partitions in the remaining disk space as needed.
Then you install Windows, and you can use multiple partitions in Windows after the installation is complete.
The partition structure under Windows is like this:
So far, Windows 10 has been successfully installed on your Mac. Next install the development environment thing, everybody should have no problem.
The only problem with installing Windows is that you can't use the Bootcamp assistant to recover your Mac partition, and if you suddenly don't want to use it someday, you'll have to use disk utility to manually recover the partition.
