| Jun 7, 2020 at 20:21 | comment | added | FET | Ok, I formatted the partition in NTFS but when I get to the Windows installer on the USB it won’t detect any driver to install Windows to @DavidAnderson | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 20:00 | comment | added | FET | Because I can’t select any partition to install Windows to when booted on my USB with windows installer @DavidAnderson | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 19:56 | comment | added | FET | @DavidAnderson What should I format the Windows Partition to? NTFS? | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 18:44 | comment | added | David Anderson | If you want an older version of Windows, there is a website. I do not know how reliable this website is. | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 18:38 | comment | added | FET | I’m gonna try now, I was trying to make a small partition rather than USB but I apparently it won’t let me create any partition... trying USB now | |

What is stopping you from trying to install the latest release of Windows without the use of the drivers supplied by Apple? Set the T2 chip to allow booting from external devices. Copy the Windows ISO files to a ExFAT formatted flash drive. Reboot and hold down the option key. Select label EFI Boot under the external drive icon. Erase you current Windows installation by formatting the partition and reinstall Windows.

| Jun 7, 2020 at 18:14 | comment | added | FET | I guess I should just update from windows update and try. Also I was asking if there was a previous version which was known to work correctly: want it 1903? @DavidAnderson | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 18:12 | comment | added | David Anderson | You question was: may I create a custom partition myself and install an ISO image in it without using anything from BootCamp? My answer: No, if you use the 1909 release of Windows 10. I do not know if the same is true for the (current) 2004 release. You would have to try the release. Is there something stopping you from trying the 2004 release? | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 17:45 | comment | added | FET | You mean no BootCamp software is compatible with that release? @DavidAnderson If there is any driver I can download let me know, or any previous Windows version which might work with eGPU | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 17:39 | comment | added | David Anderson | With the 1909 release of Windows, your Mac requires a driver from the Windows Support Software in order to access the internal drive. So I do not think no Boot Camp software is possible with this release. I do not know if the 2004 release of Windows includes a driver. | |

| Jun 7, 2020 at 11:45 | comment | added | FET | @DavidAnderson Also, I would like NOT to have any BootCamp software in this new Windows Partition, this is my main question: may I create a custom partition myself and install an ISO image in it without using anything from BootCamp? | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 11:39 | comment | added | FET | @nohillside Apparently that guid is for block size 512Bytes, I have 4096 and it says it should be a different procedure, would you please reopen the question? | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 10:05 | comment | added | FET | I see, thanks for clarifying that David, however I don't get to choose the boot loader then and yet I think it is the issue @DavidAnderson | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 10:03 | comment | added | David Anderson | Boot Camp is may things. However, Boot Camp is NOT a boot loader. | |

| Jun 7, 2020 at 7:38 | comment | added | FET | I wanted to know the right boot loader I would need for this, I don't wanna use BootCamp again @nohillside | |

Added infos requested regarding the question which was straight forwardly closed.
|
| Jun 7, 2020 at 7:35 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | So you just want to partition the disk and then install Windows directly into the empty partition? Where are you stuck? | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 7:33 | comment | added | FET | @nohillside BootCamp drivers may be the issue | |
| Jun 7, 2020 at 7:32 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | Using Bootcamp actually installs Windows in its own partition, so it‘s not clear what you actually want to do here. Can you clarify? | |
