The almost 10-pound eGPU houses a non-upgradeable AMD Radeon Pro 580 graphics processor with 8GB of VRAM. The problem is either with automate-eGPU EFI on my setup, or that I'm using the mini-display port for the monitor (not HDMI).Review: The new MacBook Pro packs serious power, but only for a select fewīut first, some basics. Reinstalled UEFI Windows from scratch and followed ICULikeMac's guide, no changes in behaviour.Tried booting rEFInd too with apple_set_os.efi enabled.Interestingly now when I boot to directly to Windows with eGPU, screen doesn't turn on and freeze at circling dots like before.Converted the BOOTCAMP partition from MBR to GPT without data loss - Windows turned to UEFI, iGPU booting from automate-eGPU EFI is working.

Installed the latest Thunderbolt driver and updated all the drivers with Snappy Driver Installer, tried the timed plug in trick, that worked for some users on 2014 Mac mini, tried a cable plugged in the HDMI port - no changes in behaviour.That resulted in freezing when trying to boot to Windows from automate-eGPU EFI with an iGPU The 2012 Mac mini firmware handles more than one drive as Fusion Drive, and seems like more than one partition too, which is why Boot Camp Assistant created an MBR partition, to which Windows 10 Legacy version was installed.When I tried to boot with eGPU into Windows, after a short appearance of the Windows logo the screen turned black and had to turn the mini off, but at the next iGPU boot, AMD software and RX 580 drivers got automatically installed by Windows Update.TL DR: automate-eGPU EFI still doesn't recognise the eGPU, screen stays black. So, a summary of my what I did so far and my observations: So to anyone, it doesn't hurt to flick through the thread, but here are the clean instructions for this you mean automate-eGPU EFI, then no, Windows doesn't boot up with the iGPU, the screen freezes in the EFI menu and I need to switch the computer off. UPDATE: I did a new Windows install via Boot Camp and it's up-to-date. If someone could shed light to the best and simplest way of enabling eGPU support under Windows 10, I'd be glad! removed dGPU drivers with DDU (since then I read that's not necessary for the Mini) installed Intel iGPU ulility and the latest drivers I have a clean Windows 10 install via Boot Camp (I think with the eGPU plugged in), what I did so far: Some say rEFIt and automate-eGPU EFI are needed, some they aren't, but I'd definitely like to avoid using them if possible. I looked through the how-to and the build guides, but found contradicting information, so I'd like to clarify the best way of enabling eGPU for this setup.
