I know the old method is to scrap the Windows Partition and reinstall one using the Boot Camp Assistant, however, as I stated above, I took a pretty darn long way around installing Windows on my Mac and I don't wanna do that again.Īny feedback on these software, or any tips on how to make MiniTool Partition Wizard work on El Capitan, will be very much appreciated. It would greatly help if I got feedback from anyone who used Paragon on El Capitan. The internal changes now mean that the ISO image option, and the ability to partition the main Macintosh HD are all present within the same window. Instead, simply copy Boot Camp Assistant to another folder, then you will be able to edit and use that copy. My main concern is that I haven't seen as much feed back (I'm pretty sure I'm looking at the wrong places) about Paragon on El Capitan but so far, they seem to be the most solid choices. If you’re familiar with Apple’s Boot Camp Assistant, then the first thing you’ll notice on El Capitan is that the main interface has changed. On El Capitan, you don't have permission to edit the ist file, and giving yourself that permission is not possible without disabling the rootless feature in terminal, which I would not recommend. I know this isn't free and I'll have to shell out cash, however, I'm okay with the free 2GB reallocation. I then found Paragon Campture which seems promising as it says it support El Capitan. I'm not sure if those who managed to make it work did 10+ steps in between or if those who didn't manage to make it work simply weren't resourceful enough, and I'm not taking a risk by figuring it out on my own. Also known as rootless, SIP prevents malware from modifying system files even if you’re logged in to your Mac with system administrator (root) privileges.
#APPLE BOOT CAMP EL CAPITAN PRO#
There are comments that say it works on El Capitan and some say it doesn't. iMac 21.5-inch iMac 27-inch MacBook Pro 13inch MacBook 12-inch with USB-C Apple also appears to have changed how Boot Camp is affected by El Capitan’s new System Integrity Protection (SIP). It primarily has something to do with the partition mapping and how adding a third one makes you unable to boot in Windows.

However, upon further research, I've seen this thread among several others that say that this method does NOT work on El Capitan. Upon research, I found this youtube guide which basically makes a 3rd partition, booting in Windows, and then using MiniTool Partition Wizard, have the windows partition "take" the 3rd blank/unused partition. I found myself searching for space because I somehow only have ~16gb left after installation of several programs. I made a 50GB BootCamp Partition using this guide because my usb/dvd wasn't being detected. I'm running OS X 10.11.5 El Capitan with a 240GB SSD.
