The Boot Camp Assistant utility guides users through non-destructive [disk partitioning](/source/disk_partitioning), including resizing of an existing [HFS+](/source/HFS_Plus) or [APFS](/source/Apple_File_System) partition, if necessary, of their [hard disk drive](/source/hard_disk_drive) or [solid-state drive](/source/solid-state_drive) and installation of Windows [device driver](/source/device_driver)s for the Apple hardware. Boot Camp Assistant also handles the installation of a [Windows Control Panel](/source/Control_Panel_(Windows)) applet to control the selection of the default boot operating system. Initially an unsupported beta for [Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger](/source/Mac_OS_X_Tiger), Boot Camp was introduced with [Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard](/source/Mac_OS_X_Leopard) and has been included in subsequent versions of the operating system.{{cite magazine|url=http://www.pcworld.com/article/125393/article.html|title=Users Find Flaw in Boot Camp|last=Broersma|first=Matthew|date=April 13, 2006|access-date=August 2, 2011|magazine=[PC World](/source/PC_World)|archive-date=May 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190503114425/https://www.pcworld.com/article/125393/article.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/ptech-20060406.html|title=Boot Camp Turns Your Mac Into a Reliable Windows PC|first=Walter|last=Mossberg|newspaper=The Wall Street Journal|date=April 6, 2006|access-date=August 2, 2011|archive-date=March 6, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070306112741/http://ptech.wsj.com/archive/ptech-20060406.html|url-status=live}} Previous versions of Boot Camp supported [Windows XP](/source/Windows_XP) and [Windows Vista](/source/Windows_Vista).

Boot Camp combines Windows 10 with install scripts to load hardware drivers for the targeted Mac computer. Boot Camp supports Windows 10 on Macs dated mid-2012 or newer.{{Cite news|url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204990|title=Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp|newspaper=Apple Support|language=en-US|access-date=2016-10-29|archive-date=October 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161020203258/https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204990|url-status=live}} Apple silicon is not supported due to being ARM-based; although [Windows 11](/source/Windows_11) is able to run on ARM64, Microsoft only licenses Windows releases for ARM64 to [original equipment manufacturer](/source/original_equipment_manufacturer)s, and there are no drivers for the Apple silicon [SoCs](/source/system_on_a_chip), so Windows cannot run on Apple silicon Macs natively. === Start-up Disk === A Mac boots from the last-used start-up disk. Holding down the [option key](/source/option_key) (⌥) at startup brings up the [boot manager](/source/Bootloader) which allows users to choose in which operating system to start the device. When using a non-Apple keyboard, the [alt key](/source/alt_key) performs the same action. The boot manager can also be launched by pressing the menu button on the [Apple Remote](/source/Apple_Remote) at startup. On older Macs, its functionality relies on [BIOS](/source/BIOS) emulation through [EFI](/source/UEFI) and a partition table information synchronization mechanism between [GPT](/source/GUID_Partition_Table) and [MBR](/source/GUID_Partition_Table) combined.{{cite web|url=https://refit.sourceforge.net/myths/|title=You need BIOS compatibility and a MBR partition table to boot Windows|publisher=rEFIt project|date=December 9, 2006|access-date=July 19, 2009|archive-date=April 21, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190421033618/http://refit.sourceforge.net/myths/|url-status=live}} On newer Macs, Boot Camp keeps the hard disk as a GPT so that Windows is installed and booted in [UEFI](/source/UEFI) mode.{{cite web|url=http://blog.twocanoes.com/post/68982862031/efi-and-windows-on-option-boot-screen|title=EFI and Windows on Option Boot Screen|publisher=Twocanoes|date=December 4, 2013|access-date=August 23, 2015|archive-date=December 18, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161218160210/http://blog.twocanoes.com/post/68982862031/efi-and-windows-on-option-boot-screen|url-status=live}} ==Requirements== ===Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion=== Apple's Boot Camp system requirements lists the following requirements for [Mac OS X Lion](/source/OS_X_Lion) and OS X Mountain Lion:{{cite web |url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899 |title=Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows |access-date=March 30, 2010 |date=January 19, 2010 |publisher=Apple Inc. |archive-date=July 25, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725054117/http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899 |url-status=live }} * 8 GB USB storage device, or external drive formatted as [MS-DOS](/source/MS-DOS) ([FAT](/source/File_Allocation_Table)) for installation of Windows drivers for Mac hardware * 20 GB free hard disk space for a first-time installation or 40 GB for an upgrade from a previous version of Windows * A full version of one of the following operating systems: ** Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate (64-bit editions only) ** Windows 8 and Windows 8 Professional (64-bit editions only) ** Windows 10 Home, Pro, Pro for Workstation, Education or Enterprise (64-bit editions only) ===Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard=== Apple lists the following requirements for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: * An Intel-based Macintosh computer with the latest [firmware](/source/firmware).
