Well, usually I set my ssd as "active" state by using another PC, you would need to use terminal and type "diskpart" to get into the disk setting process.

Simon, I have done as you suggested and used command prompt > diskpart.

 

I typed 'List Disk' and selected Disk 0 (see attached image).

And then I typed 'List Partition', which shows Partition 4 as the Primary.

 

Just guessing, but do you think the eGPU Setup 1.2 config file needs to specifically target Disk 0, partition 4 ?

In order to use eGPU setup 1.2, I set my SSD disk as MBR disk in "active" mode. So you would need to change your setting and reinstall windows 10. PS:I backup my system every steps in case everything crashs, such as after I install a clean system and backup once, after that I install bootcamp driver and backup again and so on.

I can see now that I cannot set the SSD drive to 'Active' because it is using the GPT file structure and not MBR (see 1.pdf). So perhaps that is the issue?

 

Either the eGPU Setup 1.2 is looking for the Primary boot drive but at the wrong location or I need to start from scratch using the MBR file structure. What do you guys think?

Use MBR file structure will solve your issues. I had been through this I feel you bro XD.
