![]() ![]() To keep this from damaging your screen, we turn on a hidden feature in Windows called Unbranded Boot, which will disable the Windows logo and Windows booting UI completely, resulting in a black screen on your built-in Mac monitor that will not cause burn-in damage. A side effect of this is that when the eGPU is on, the Windows logo boot screen stays stuck on on the built-in monitor and the monitor is unusable. ![]() Having Windows on an external drive is convenient because you can leave your windows installation with your desk/eGPU setup, and you don’t have to carry a Windows 10 partition around on your Mac hard drive, which is especially handy because currently there is no way of deleting a Bootcamp-created partition on newer APFS-based Macbooks without visiting an Apple store and having them boot from external recovery media (Apple has in fact disabled both the official and unofficial ability to create such media starting in Mojave, and the built in recovery tools are unable to delete partitions on a currently mounted APFS drive, so an Apple store is your ONLY option).Ĭurrently there is no known way of getting the built-in monitor to work in Windows when an eGPU is plugged in on a 2018 Macbook, so if you expect to be able to use your built-in display with the eGPU within Windows 10, you might as well stop reading. Without Windows To Go, the eGPU will typically not work without other more invasive changes to UEFI related things. This setup is a bit unconventional in that you end up with a fully portable Windows 10 installation that is installed on an external SSD or USB flash drive that you can run on machines other than your Mac, but the setup will work perfectly with an AMD eGPU (and potentially NVidia) if you follow my steps EXACTLY. Recently I was able to get the Windows 10 “ Windows To Go” feature working, and I realized that it makes it easier to get an eGPU setup up and running on the notoriously difficult (due to the T2 security chip) 2018 Macbook Pro. ![]()
