Hi everyone,
I have tried over and over again to install Windows 10 on the same SSD (the only one I have on my laptop) but I always get the same error.
The procedure I have followed is this one.
1)I have installed MacOS with Clover UEFI after setting the BIOS:
  • LEGACY SUPPORT
  • UEFI first
  • Disable fast boot
  • Disable secure boot
2)I partitioned the drive with:
  • MacOS (already installed) -> APFS
  • Windows10 -> MacOS Extended Journaled (about 60gb)
3)I have booted into Windows 10 EFI from boot menu using both a USB 2 and 3 port.
ALTERNATIVE 1
4)I have deleted Windows10 partition and created a new one
5)I get this error when selecting the primary partition created:
"We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup log files"
ALTERNATIVE 2
4)I have deleted Windows 10 partition and hit next
5)I get this error:
"Windows could not prepare the computer to boot into the next phase of installtion. To install Windows, restart the installation"

I will attach 2 photos I have taken of the errors.
Drive 0 partition 1 is the EFI partition where CLOVER is installed which is not visible in the photo.
Drive 0 partition 2 contains MacOS.

For help with a laptop it is best to post in the Laptop Forum.

Sorry I have posted there now, could you give me help anyway? Would you suggest installing windows 10 first and then MacOS?
That would take more time because I have to apply all patches and kexts again so before doing that I would like to know if it's worth doing.

General installation guide for desktops is pinned to start of this forum. With changes to config.plist specific to laptops you should be able to install following the guide.
