Windows 10: Windows 10 Clean install stuck - Macbook Air 2013 (mid)

Good Afternoon,

I used to have Windows 10 installed on its own (no macosx dualboot) prior to an SSD failure on my MacBook Air 2013 (mid).

Since replacing the SSD (With an Apple authentic replacement) I am no longer able to install Windows 10. The install freezes at the getting ready stage. Macbook NVRAM and PRAM resets run multiple times, along with battery disconnects.

USB2 & USB3 tried for all the below:
Windows 10 1909 created via OSX bootcamp with latest bootcamp drivers
Windows 10 1909 created via OSX bootcamp with 5.1.5640 bootcamp drivers (known good from before)
Windows 10 1909 created via Media Creation Tool on Windows
Windows 10 1607 created via OSX bootcamp with latest bootcamp drivers
Windows 10 1607 created via OSX bootcamp with 5.1.5640 bootcamp drivers (known good from before)
Windows 10 1607 created via Media Creation Tool on Windows

Installs were performed both trying a dual boot using bootcamp, and by erasing the entire disk and all partitions using the windows installer and letting windows create the partitions it wants..

Link to install panther logs below:
setupact.log
setuperr.log

I'm at a loss. Windows 8.1 installs without issues, and upgrading from that to 10 fails in the same manner. I'm almost certain it is a driver issue but cannot find any replacements to use..

Any help is appreciated.

install windows 10 to boot camp of a MacBook Air

Hi all,

My MacBook Air is mid 2013 (6,1). I upgrade the OS to 10.14.6 and then tried to install a Windows 10 through the book camp assistant. After several steps until EFI started, it kept on restarting and could not continue the installation. The stop code is
"critical process died". I tried all options suggested in the support page "https://www.windows.com/stopcode" but none works.

Anyone has the same experience and any solution please?

Best regards,

Felix

Did you have success on a mid-2011 macbook air? I would also like to do this upgrade, but this article doesn't list the mid-2011.
