An ISO image of Windows 10 from Microsoft.You can download it for free and it doesn’t need fully activating unless you want to customize Windows. An external storage device with at least 16GB of space.This is to save the ISO image on and can either be a Pen Drive or any external hard drive to create the Windows Install Disk. It’s also used to save the Windows Support Software drivers from Apple which allows your Mac hardware (keyboard, monitor, trackpad etc) to work with Windows. However, if you have any of the following models of Mac running macOS El Capitan 10.11 or later, you don’t need an external device at all because your Mac can use the internal drive to temporarily store what you need to install Windows. At least 64GB or more of free disk space on your Mac.We highly recommend 128GB as Windows updates will quickly gobble up most of it. If you intend on installing several games or applications, you will need plenty of hard drive space devoted to Windows. It’s better to go for more rather than less and if at a later stage you decide you don’t want to have half of your Mac’s hard drive devoted to Windows, you can erase the Windows partition at a later date and regain the hard drive space for macOS. A full battery if you have no power source available but we highly recommend having your Mac plugged-in for this process.Or at least, make sure your most important files and folder are backed up or saved somewhere else. Although nothing should go wrong when installing Windows, it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
