I'm new to mac I just got my first macbook used last week. I was trying to install Windows 10 via boot camp and it told me it could not due to some issue and to check Disk Utility. I have used Linux and Windows to a lesser degree most of my life, but I am embarrassed to say I don't fully understand this. I ran
/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *251.0 GB disk0
1: EFI EFI 314.6 MB disk0s1
2: Apple_APFS Container disk1 250.7 GB disk0s2
/dev/disk1 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +250.7 GB disk1
Physical Store disk0s2
1: APFS Volume Untitled - Data 127.1 GB disk1s1
2: APFS Volume Preboot 83.8 MB disk1s2
3: APFS Volume Recovery 528.5 MB disk1s3
4: APFS Volume VM 1.1 GB disk1s4
5: APFS Volume RJ 11.2 GB disk1s5

and this is the output. I saw these commands on some other post and thought they may be helpful. This is probably completely normal. I am sure I just want to understand. I am on the newest update of Catalina MBP Mid 2017. Also, it is not super important to get Boot Camp running Windows. I was just experimenting, but does anyone see an obvious reason why there would be an issue? Thank you!
