Jun 27, 2017  In Windows 10 EFI, selecting 'Restart into Mac OS X' from boot camp just reboots into windows. I thought this was a known issue. There seems to be no way to reboot back into MacOS from Windows 10 EFI unless you command + P + R it when using a non-flashed GPU. Boot Camp 4.0 for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard up to Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion version 10.8.2 only supported Windows 7. However, with the release of Boot Camp 5.0 for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion in version 10.8.3, only 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8 are officially supported. Mar 16, 2018 Boot Camp can be annoying. Both Windows and Mac OS X can see each other’s files, but they can’t write to the other operating system’s partition. May 26, 2019 If you're a Mac owner and need the functionality and features included in Windows 10, you can install it on OS X using Boot Camp. Here's a walk through.

Hi Jkutos,

I understand you are not able to boot to your Mac since installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp. If you are seeing a prohibitory symbol, your Mac can't find a valid System Folder to start from. You will need to reinstall the OS X to resolve the issue. Do you not have a Time Machine backup of your computer?

Prohibitory symbol

When you see a circle with a slash symbol instead of the Apple logo, it means your Mac couldn't find a valid System Folder to start up from.

If you're using your Mac at a school or business, it might be trying to start from the wrong version of OS X. Contact your IT department for more help.

If this is your personal Mac, try reinstalling OS X by using OS X Recovery.


OS X Recovery includes a built in set of utilities as part of the Recovery System. You can use OS X Recovery to do the following:

  • Restore your Mac from a Time Machine backup.
  • Verify and repair connected drives using Disk Utility.
  • Check your Internet connection or get help online using Safari.
  • Install or reinstall OS X.

To start your computer from Recovery, restart your Mac and hold down the Command and R keys at startup.

Hold these keys until the Apple logo appears. After your computer finishes starting up, you should see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and an OS X Utilities window with the options listed above. If you see a login window or your own desktop instead of the Utilities window, it's possible that you didn't press Command-R early enough. Restart your computer and try again.

Choose the option you want to use from the Utilities window or the Utilities menu.

Choose your preferred network name and enter a username and password to join the network if needed.
