MP 1,1-5,1 5,1 (Big Sur) - Can Boot Camp be used to install Win 10?

[TEFGAF]

As alluded to in prefix, I am running Big Sur (newly installed on NMVE drive w/Open Core Legacy patch). Except for minor USB problems, all seems to be fine. Since I am a long time Windows user, it was my hope to install Win 10 using the resident Boot Camp utility in Big Sur. However, I seem to recall (from one of the many YouTube videos on the subject) that Boot Camp does not work on unsupported Macs. Instead software like Parallels and Rufus recommended. Obviously, Boot Camp seems easier, but I prefer not to crash my Mac Pro.

On the related subject, is version 2011 of MS Office for Mac compatible with Big Sur?

Thanks in advance for input.

Why don't you try it first? I just tried Bootcamp in Monterey with OCLP and so far it is Saving Windows Support software to the USB. Will report progress.

Office 2011 only works with macOS Mojave (10.14.x) or older.

Well the Bootcamp from Monterey did not work so follow this guide:

Installing Windows 10 in Legacy/BIOS mode in cMP with Boot Camp Assistant

Installing Windows 10 in Legacy/Bios mode in classic Mac Pro is easy. You will have to use a modified Bootcamp assistant, which I attached to this post or make your own using this guide. The installation has been tested on High Sierra partition with HFS+ partitioning scheme. The only limitation...
