No bootable device - bootcamp Windows 10

Bootcamp Windows 10 Installation - No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key Hello everyone, I have an 13" macbook pro mid 2012 which runs MacOS Catalina. I wanted to dual boot my 750GB hard drive (not SSD) to run Bootcamp Windows 10 Pro and MacOS. I went through the Bootcamp assistant, and it all went smoothly. It installed the ISO image onto my HP V210W 16GB flash drive, along with the support files. Then, the computer restarted. I have installed Bootcamp on my macbook Pro before so I know what should have come up. The Windows 10 Setup screen should have showed up on the macbook pro Screen after restarting. HOWEVER, when the macbook pro restarts, it shows the normal white screen, and then it shows a black screen that says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I am not sure why this happened. So next I try to circumvent this issue by restarting, holding Alt/Option, and it brings up the boot order page. The options are "Macintosh HD", "Windows", and "EFI". I select the Windows option. It brings me back to my original problem with the black screen and the "no bootable device" message. Next, I try to instead start up with the EFI option. This successfully enters the Windows setup, but when I progress through all of the steps, at the step where I select which partition to install Windows on, it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." Now, I sort of knew that this was going to come up because Mac usually uses an MBR partition, but it is arranged in a BIOS system for Windows to use. If I use EFI, like I selected before, it will want a GPT disk format. So now I am officially stuck. I have no clue what to do, and I have researched everywhere on this problem. I do not have anything but the keyboard, mouse, and USB flash drive connected to the macbook pro. I tried with different USB 2 flash drives but no use. If anyone could help me with this, that would be great. Thanks.

Installing Windows 10 on mid-2012 MBP I'm trying to install Windows 10 on my MacBook using Bootcamp. I've followed several tutorials including the Apple tutorial, but I'm running into issues. I have a brand new Crucial 500gb SSD running a fresh new version of Catalina. I've downloaded the Windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft. I am using a 32gb PNY USB 2.0 flash drive. I start up Bootcamp, it writes the files to the flash drive from the ISO, downloads Apple support software, and partitions the drive. I did a 60/40 partition split, between the MacOS and Windows. I click continue, I have to put in my password a few times, the process completes, and the MacBook automatically restarts to a black screen saying "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I press a few key and nothing happens, so I restart the MacBook and hold ALT which brings me to the boot screen, to choose which drive I want. There are 3 available options, MacBook, Windows, and EFI Boot. If I select Windows, it takes me back to the black screen saying "no bootable device". If I select EFI Boot, it brings me to a Windows installation screen! Sounds good- I choose Windows 10 Home, I agree to the license agreement, I choose English and US keyboard, and then it takes me to a screen that lays out 3 partitions, and asks "where do I want to install windows? " I select the partition labeled BOOTCAMP, however that partition along with the other 2 all say "Windows cannot be installed to this disk, the selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed to GPT disks." One tutorial said to format the BOOTCAMP partition within this window, however when I do that it still doesn't change anything. So I can't go any further than this screen. I've tried restoring everything back to normal, and going through the whole process again, same results every time. I'm going to try again with a Kingston 16gb 3.0 flash drive and see if that makes any difference. Any thoughts?

Bootcamp install Win 10 in a MBP mid 2012 15" Mojave 10.14.6 Good Evening, First time here, and want beforehand to acknowledge the vast amount of very experienced people that gathers in this forums.Thanks in advance. I am still using my trusty MBP mid 2012 ,it has been updated up to 10GB RAM and very recently just upgraded to Mojave and working fine. After checking the Win 10+Bootcamp compatibility issues for my model everything seemed OK. I bought a license for Win10 and tried to install it through Bootcamp. After trying multiple things and looking all around in different forums I don't seem to get anywhere. After Bootcamp everything seems fine, but while rebooting it shows this message "No bootable device-insert boot disk and press any key". Which prompted me to restart the MB and through the Alt key find that there's 3 options : 1.OSX SSD ____ 2.Windows 3.EFI Boot. Option 2 gets me to the above stated issue. Option 3 lets me get through the installation until it shows up a dialogue window asking me about the desired partition to install Windows. If selecting the Bootcamp partition the next message comes up "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.The selected disk has an MBR partition table.On EFI systems Windows can only be installed to GPT disks. Now, while searching for a solution I have come up with a few good tips : -USB incompatibility ( I'm trying to use a SandDisk Micro SD with a USB converter)... -The Bootcamp created partition isn't fit for a Windows installation through the BC app. I am a bit desperate since I am in need of software that can only be installed in Win. Many thanks in advance. Nuwanda.
