How to install win10 in an external usb 3.0 ssd without bootcamp (samsung t1 ssd)

Hi everyone, i hope to help somebody with this post. 

 

i bought recently a mbp retina early 2015 with only 128 gb ssd, the internal ssd was too tiny for running both os, so i decided to buy an external ssd, in my case a samsung t1, cheap and fast enough.

 

i followed this guide --> http://bleeptobleep.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/mac-install-windows-7-or-8-on-external.html 

ok all nice, until the step 3: deploy the windows installation image.. 

 

when i typed :

o:\windows\system32\bcdboot o:\windows /f ALL /s b:

 

i came across in a error, the first thing i thought it was to burn everything , i was stuck in this error 16 hours

the error was :

 

The program can't start because api-ms-win-core-file-l1-1-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

 

don't burn down anything, is very simple, go back to the downloaded files by the aik Tools inside temp folder, copy the bcdboot.exe(32 or 64bit) and paste it in your c: drive.

 

it will finishes the step 3 and finally you can start your installation of win10 in your latest mac.

Hey davidexD,

 

Which version of Windows do you want to install?

I'm using  with Win10 on a external, and i used this tool: http://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/ 

(I tried to install in10 with that command as well but it did not work. In the end I used, Wintousb which is fast and easy ;) )

You can also take a look here, and also the posts after it.
