windows 10 on mac mini

Not sure where to post this but here goes...

Is there a to install windows on an old mac mini 4,2 without using Bootcamp?

I don't want to have to install mac os as my internet connection is awful and it takes forever to install over the internet, then there's all the windows updates to do on top of that

it might be a 4,1 sorry

i can choose a boot device if i hold down the option key.

i think i remember once installing windows from a usb iso and getting to the end and not being able to boot the windows partition though so just trying to avoid wasting time if thats the case.

I'm currently trying to reinstall mac os via the internet recovery and it keeps failing in the last 2 mins... cant download some esd file... think i might just try installing the windows iso and got back to installing mac os if this doesnt work (hopefully my 4g connection will be faster at that time)

so in conclusion i can verify that if you install mac os on one partition, you can without using bootcamp install windows via a usb iso to another partition and it will work fine.

i think i made the mistake last time of deleting the partition with the bootloader on it.
