This software quickly boots your Mac into the Windows partition through a simple utility. It's a convenient tool for users who frequently switch between both operating systems.
I recently came across BootChamp, a small yet incredibly useful utility that saved me a ton of time and hassle whenever I had to switch between macOS and Windows on my machine. With BootChamp, all it takes is a single click to boot up my computer into my Windows partition.
To ensure that everything works correctly, BootChamp requires authentication from the user in order to properly set the Windows partition as the startup disk. It’s worth noting that BootChamp has only been tested on NTFS volumes so far, and not on FAT32.
You might be wondering how BootChamp differs from simply selecting your Windows volume from within the Startup Disk preferences in your macOS settings. Well, the difference is that using Startup Disk changes your startup disk permanently, so that each time you reboot, it will automatically boot into whatever volume you’ve selected.
On the other hand, BootChamp essentially replicates what happens when you hold down the Option key during startup and select your Windows partition manually. However, BootChamp streamlines the process by only requiring a single click and your admin password to launch, without any further input needed from you.
What I appreciate most about BootChamp is that it won’t actually change your startup disk – it simply provides a quick, convenient way to temporarily switch to your Windows partition whenever you need it. If you frequently switch between macOS and Windows on your machine, I highly recommend giving BootChamp a try!
