How to run Swing Catalyst on a Apple Mac

Introduction

This support article describes how you can use Boot Camp to run Swing Catalyst on your Apple Mac.

Boot Camp lets you install Windows on a Mac computer in its own partition, using a Windows 10 disk image (ISO) or other installation media that you provide.

After installation, you can use either Windows or Mac OS X on your Mac computer.

This article is mainly for legacy purposes as it is out of date.

Applies To

• Intel-based Macs that support Boot Camp. Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later) are not supported.

Recommended requirements

• An Intel-based Mac that supports Boot Camp, with the latest macOS updates installed.

• A USB flash drive of 16 GB or more, unless your Mac does not need one to install Windows.

• At least 64 GB of free space on the Mac startup disk (128 GB recommended) for 64-bit Windows 10.

• An authentic version of Microsoft Windows

*Please note that not all Mac’s can run 64-bit Windows using Boot Camp, and that only Intel Mac’s can utilize Boot Camp.

Installation

To use Swing Catalyst on an Apple laptop or desktop computer, you need an Intel-based Mac that supports Boot Camp.

Swing Catalyst requires 64-bit Windows 10 (version 1803 or later) or Windows 11.

It is recommended to install Windows with the Boot Camp Assistant. Boot Camp allows you to dual boot Mac OS and Windows side by side - allowing easy access to both operating systems.

Holding down Option (Alt) key while you start up your Mac gives you the ability to switch between Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

The default operating system will be Mac OS X, but this can be easily changed in the Startup Disk Control Panel in Windows, or Mac OS X Startup Disk preferences to set the default start up disk.
