Since new computers come shipped with pre-installed drives, including MacBooks, they are usually already formatted and ready for immediate use, so, typically, the only times that you will need to format a drive is if you bought a new one (like an external drive or a USB drive, for example) and it has not been formatted yet or if it has already been formatted but the file system that it uses is not fully supported by your MacBook Pro.

You format your MacBook Pro when you have a new drive and you want to prepare it for storing information, so what you do is erase its contents, tell your MacBook that you want to use that drive to store and process information, then to establish a file system that will determine how data will be organized afterwards. Formatting and reformatting your MacBook Pro both involves erasing whatever contents your drive (HDD, SSD, USB drives, etc ) may have had, but they do have a slight difference. After all, they sound pretty much the same, so they must probably do the same thing, right? “Formatting” and “reformatting” are two terms that are often used interchangeably in computer troubleshooting tutorials, so it can be pretty confusing for casual computer users who are not sure which of the two they need to do on their MacBook Pro or if there is actually any difference between the two at all.

It's detected under macOS and runs my external display there (connected to left port closest to me), so I'm trying to figure out how to get my eGPU working in Windows again.If you have been having some issues with your MacBook Pro like noticeable slowdowns, applications frequently crashing, or programs refusing to work altogether, one of the solutions that you might be advised to do is to format or reformat your MacBook Pro.

I also reformatted the whole machine, did new installs of macOS and Windows 10, reset NVRAM, reset SMC, did the DSDT registry override in Windows, removed the 1080 Ti from the Node and reseated it, and still the same result - no detection at all under Windows 10 through any of the TB3 ports.

I've done fresh installs of Windows 10 several times and even tried different versions such as 6, Anniversary Update, and Creators Update (it was on the Creators Update when it was working), but the graphics card still isn't detected on any of the TB3 ports. The 1080 Ti works in macOS Sierra 10.12.5 thanks to the automate-eGPU script, so I'm stumped about why Windows won't detect it anymore.

Each port still works with other devices, and what's interesting is that the Akitio Node itself is being detected (the Akitio Node firmware upgrade application sees it just fine), but it doesn't detect the graphics card. I tried all 4 TB3 ports - nothing happened. After rebooting into Windows, the eGPU was once again not detected anymore. The MacBook went to sleep and I had to reboot to wake it. I tried the TB3 ports on the right side, and the right side closest to me gave me Code 43, but the top right port farthest from me worked for a few hours. I set everything back up, played a game on the external display using the eGPU, then when I was done, accidentally closed the lid with the eGPU still connected. I deleted my Boot Camp partition and then re-installed the latest Windows 10, and the 1080 Ti still wasn't recognized. After several reboots and shut downs, it still wasn't recognized. When I later reconnected the Node and rebooted, the 1080 Ti was not being detected.
The other night I was playing a game on the external display using the eGPU, then stopped and disconnected the Node so I could do some web browsing on the couch. The Akitio Node was connected to the left TB3 port closest to me, and I didn't have any code 12 or code 43. It was much like this implementation: here. The internal display was accelerated by the AMD RP450 while the external display was accelerated by the Nvidia 1080 Ti.
I have the base model 2016 15" MacBook Pro with touchbar, and I was running a 1080 Ti in the Akitio Node in Windows 10 with an external monitor flawlessly for a few days. I'm hoping for some help to get everything working again. Hey everyone, this forum has been a great resource with getting my eGPU to work, so my thanks to the entire community.
