Install Windows 10 on a 2010 MacBook

This is a solution to the problem of how Nvidia drivers for the MacBook don't react well with EFI. Just don't talk about how specific the title is.

Prepare for Installation

What you'll need is a 2010 MacBook (hence the name), a Windows computer, a USB drive, and a copy of rEFIt on your Mac.

Prepare the MacBook

Install a copy of rEFIt on the MacBook. Also, install Rufus on your Windows computer and download an ISO of Windows 10.

Start the Installation

Flash a copy of Windows 10 onto your USB with Rufus. Then, plug the USB into the MacBook, boot off of the USB, and follow the setup instructions.

Wait.

That's literally all there is to it. Just wait.

SUCCESS!

Now when you restart the PC, it won't brick it because of Nvidia drivers! Make sure to download Boot Camp to install drivers for the Mac.
