[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1792814, member: 204485"] Thanks Patrick, I have looked at a lot of articles on the topic, interestingly many are concerned with switching problems between windows and macOS after High Sierra and resizing either the macOS or Windows partition. Some suggest that it is no longer possible to use Boot Camp to create a Windows partition under APFS at all and others suggest using Terminal commands to resize the macOS partition ([url]https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/295910/high-sierra-cant-merge-bootcamp-partition-with-apfs-container[/url]). No one has suggested erasing the Macintosh HD from a bootable USB installer and installing a fresh copy of High Sierra then reverse cloning thier data from a CCC backup on a HFS+ formatted EHD. chscag suggests that this process would retain the APFS on the Macintosh HD and I agree but have not had time to try it yet. I will certainly feed back when I do. This solution suits my needs but there are obviously problems with Boot Camp behavior under APFS High Sierra that Apple needs to address. [/QUOTE]
