This answer was tested using an iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013). Since this Mac is suppose to use an UEFI booting Windows 10, I did not actually test beyond the instructions given here. Your Mac is suppose to BIOS boot Windows 10. Creating a Partition on Each Internal Drive for Windows ------------- Based on the information posted in the question, the following command would create an approximate 100 GB partition for Windows on the HDD. diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk0s2 650G exfat BOOTCAMP 0 To create a 50 MiB System Reserve partition on the SSD, the following command could be entered. However, you may have to move some files from the SSD to the HDD, if the SSD is out of space. diskutil apfs resizecontainer disk1s2 119.771G exfat System 51Mi Creating a BIOS Booting Windows 10 USB Flash Drive Installer and Hybrid Partitioning the HDD ---------- Your Mac is suppose to install Windows 10 to BIOS boot. These instructions can be used to create a BIOS booting Windows 10 USB flash drive installer. Also, following these instruction will result in a hybrid partitioned internal HDD, which is a requirement for a dual boot of macOS and a BIOS booting Windows. The steps follow. 1. Erase and partition a 16 GB or larger USB flash drive. Enter the command below and use the output to determine the identifier for the USB flash drive. diskutil list external Enter the command below to erase and partition the USB flash drive. If your identifier is not `disk4`, then make the appropriate substitution. diskutil partitiondisk disk4 mbr exfat WININSTALL 15G fat32 REFIND R 2. Install the rEFInd Boot Manager to the USB flash drive. Download the latest version of the [rEFInd Boot Manager][1] from SourceForge. (At the time this was written, the current version was 0.13.2.) Create a folder named `efi` on the `REFIND` volume. Next, create a folder named `boot` inside the `efi` folder. Inside the rEFInd download from SourceForge, there is a folder named `refind`. Copy the contents of this folder to the `boot` folder on the `REFIND` volume. Finally, rename `refind_x64.efi` file in the `boot` folder to `bootx64.efi`. The final result is shown below. [![][2]][2] 3. Mount the Windows ISO file and copy the contents to the `WININSTALL` volume. The file I downloaded from Microsoft was `Win10_21H2_English_x64.iso`. 4. Use the Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software. This should be done on the Mac where you are going to install Windows. When finished, copy the Windows Support Software to the `WININSTALL` volume. 5. Use Safari to acquire the latest 64 bit GPT fdisk for Windows (`gdisk64.exe`). Under Safari preferences, make sure "Show Develop menu in the menu bar" is checked off. Open a new Safari window then select Develop→User Agent→FireFox—Windows from the menu bar. Goto the [SourceForge GPT fdisk website][3] and select the `Download` button. When finished, close the Safari window. 6. From the GPT fdisk download from SourceForge, copy the file `gdisk64.exe` to the `WININSTALL` volume. When finished, the `WININSTALL` volume should appear as shown below. [![][4]][4] 7. Enter the following commands to add Mac Startup Manager icon labels. bless --folder /Volumes/REFIND/efi/boot --label rEFInd bless --folder /Volumes/WININSTALL/efi/boot --label "Windows UEFI" 8. Use the Mac Startup Manager to UEFI boot the Windows installer. Restart the Mac and immediately holding down the <kbd>option</kbd> key until the Mac Startup Manager icons appear. Select the icon with the label `Windows UEFI`. When an image similar to the one shown below appears, press the <kbd>shift</kbd>+<kbd>F10</kbd> key combination to open a Command Prompt window. [![first screen][5]][5] Enter the following commands presented in the rest of this step. diskpart list disk Using the values given in the `Size` column, determine the disk numbers assigned to the internal SSD and internal HDD from the values given in the `Disk ###` column. list volume Using the values given in the `Label` column, determine the volume number and drive letter assigned to the `WININSTALL` volume from the values in the `Volume ###` and `Ltr` columns, respectively. If the volume number you determined is different from 3, then make the appropriate substitution in the next command. select volume 3 active exit If the drive letter you determined is different from `D`, then make the appropriate substitution in the next command. bootsect /nt60 D: /mbr If drive letter and/or SSD disk number you determined is different from `D` and `0`, respectively, then make the appropriate substitutions in the next command. D:\gdisk64 0: Like `diskpart`, `gdisk64` is an interactive command. However, with `gdisk64` the delimiter between a command and parameters can be either a <kbd>space</kbd> or a <kbd>return</kbd>. Also, you can quit without saving changes by pressing the <kbd>control</kbd>+<kbd>C</kbd> key combination. Below is a table of the entries you need to make. Enter the values in the SDD Entry column in the order shown. |SDD<br>Entry|HDD<br>Entry|Type|Comment| |-|-|-|-| |`r`|`r`|command|Switch to recovery and transformation menu| |`h`|`h`|command|Make hybrid MBR| |`2 3`|`2 3`|parameters|Add the second and third GPT entries add to the MBR table| |`y`|`y`|parameter|Confirm to place EFI GPT (0xEE) partition first in MBR| |`ff`|`ff`|parameter|MBR hex code for MBR partition 2| |`n`|`n`|parameter|Skip setting bootable flag for MBR partition 2| |`07`|`07`|parameter|MBR hex code for MBR partition 3| |`y`|`n`|parameter|If `y` then, set bootable flag for MBR partition 3| |`n`|`n`|parameter|Skip adding adding more GPT entries to the MBR table| |`w`|`w`|command|Write table to disk and exit| |`y`|`y`|parameter|Confirm to write and exit| If drive letter and/or HDD disk number you determined is different from `D` and `1`, respectively, then make the appropriate substitutions in the next command. D:\gdisk64 1: Above is a table of the entries you need to make. Enter the values in the HDD Entry column in the order shown. When finished, enter the next command to close the Command Prompt window. exit At this point, the USB flash drive can be BIOS booted and the internal drives are hybrid partitioned. BIOS Booting the Windows 10 USB Flash Drive Installer -------- In order to use the GUI provided by Microsoft to install a BIOS booting Windows 10, the installer has to be BIOS booted. Since the Mac Startup Manger can not properly instruct the firmware to BIOS boot the flash drive, the rEFInd Boot Manager is used instead. This section continues from where the previous section left off. Either select the red box with the white X or press the <kbd>command</kbd>+<kbd>esc</kbd> key combination, then select the `Yes` button. Immediately hold down the <kbd>option</kbd> key while the Mac restarts. When the Mac Startup Manager icons appear, select the icon labeled `rEFInd`. When the rEFInd Boot Manager icons appear, select a Windows icon showing a small flash drive, as shown below. The description displayed should contain the word "legacy". An example would be "Boot Legacy OS from whole disk volume". Note: More than one icon may appear. [![Windows flash drive icon][6]][6] When BIOS booting from the flash drive, a long time may pass before anything meaningful appears. Be patient! Once the installer appear, proceed and install Windows 10. When asked: "Where do you want to install Windows?", do the following. 1. Highlight the partition labeled `System`. Use the `Format` button to NTFS format the partition. Note: Formatting will remove the `System` label. 2. Highlight the partition labeled `BOOTCAMP`. Use the `Format` button to NTFS format the partition. Note: Formatting will remove the `BOOTCAMP` label. 3. With the partition formally labeled `BOOTCAMP` still highlighted, select the `Next` button. Update 1 ------- The OP posted the following comment: >Thanks for the answer! Although..., everything seems to be working so far, on the gdisk part I get this error after skipping setting bootable flag for MBR partition 2: ``` GPT partition #3 does not exist or is too big; skipping. Unused partition space(s) found. Use one to protect more partitions? (Y/N): ``` Normally, I would use the output from the command below to determine what should be done next. (If drive letter and/or disk number you determined is different from `D` and `0`, respectively, then make the appropriate substitutions.) D:\gdisk64 -l 0: However, this might be difficult for you to post for me to see. Therefore, you could enter the command below which will write the output to the file `gpt.txt` on the flash drive. D:\gdisk64 -l 0: >D:\gpt.txt You could then boot back to macOS, edit your question to include the contents of this file. Update 2 ------ Since the output from `list disk` shows the HDD to be `Disk 1`, you should have entered `D:\gdisk64 1:` instead of `D:\gdisk64 0:`. Warning: Since the SSD is disk 0, you will probably will not be able to install Windows on the HDD, unless there exists a 50 MiB System Reserve partition on the SSD. In other words, you will encounter the following message. [![need system reserve][7]][7] I could include instructions now on how to create this fairly small partition. Or, you could wait and see, if you get the message. Update 3 ------ I would be asking the following questions. - Does `/Windows/System32/winload.exe` exist in the third MBR partition on the HDD? - Is this the location specified in the `/boot/BCD` file? The `/boot/BCD` file is suppose to be located in the System Reserve. The System Reserve is suppose to be located in the third MBR partition on the SSD. Note: Many of the files and directories in the System Reserve have the hidden attribute. You could UEFI boot from the Windows installer on the flash drive and enter the command below to get the drive letters for the partitions in the SDD and HDD. echo list volume | diskpart Here, I will assume the System Reserve partition on the SSD is drive C: and the Windows partition on the HDD is drive D:. You could then enter the command below to see if `winload.exe` exists. dir D:\Windows\System32\winload.exe You could also enter the command below to show the contents of the BCD file. bcdedit /store C:\boot\BCD /enum See if you can post the output from these commands. Update 4 -------- Apparently, you can get Windows to BIOS boot from the SSD, but for some reason the Windows software installed on the SSD can not execute the `winload.exe` file stored on the HDD. I tested this arrangement using a virtual machine and did not have any problems booting. The only difference between the virtual machine and your Mac is your HDD is drive `E:` and the HDD in the virtual machines is drive `D:`. I can not explain why your Mac is not using drive `D:` for the HDD or if drive `D:` is being used for something else. (Update 3 did ask of the output from `echo list volume | diskpart`, which was never posted.) My remaining thought would be to install the Windows boot files on the HDD and see if the Mac Boot Manager or the rEFInd Boot Manager can successfully boot Windows from the new arrangement. You could UEFI boot from the Windows installer on the flash drive and enter the command below to get the drive letter for the Windows partition on the HDD. echo list volume | diskpart Here, I will assume the Windows partition on the HDD is drive E:. The following commands will write the boot files to the HDD. bootsect /nt60 E: /mbr bcdboot E:\windows /l en-us /s E: /f bios You can now try using the Mac Startup Manger to boot Windows. Also, you can use the Mac Startup Manager to boot rEFInd on the flash driven and then try booting Windows from the HDD by selecting the appropriate icon on the rEFInd menu. If using rEFInd works, then we can discuss installing rEFInd to one of the internal drives.
