Macbookpro9 2 Windows 10 Drivers
Athenasby Regalado
However, after running Windows Update, it still lacks drivers for WiFi, audio, the touchpad, and a few other devices. I can't seem to find those drivers available for download from any official sources. And all the info I can find about it assumes that I left the BootCamp partition intact (which I did not).
Open Apple Software Update for Windows and install available updates to get all the drivers. You will find additional details on the Mac models that support Windows 10 on the following link. You can check your computer model by selecting the Apple menu and choosing About This Mac when you are booted into OS X.
On my MacBook Pro (8,1 early 2011, MacOS 10.13) I first installed Win 7 via BootCamp and Win 7 install DVD. In Win 7 I installed the Win 7 drivers supplied by BootCamp. Then I downloaded MediaCretionTool from MS and with it I installed Win 10 over Win 7. After booting Win 10 Hardware Manager showed a few missing drivers. From -desktops/macbookpro8%2C1/1927 I downloaded and installed the following missing drivers:
Trent's answer is very useful ( ) if you chose not to use the bootcamp for the install.It works offline from another machine in case (like me) you don't have wifi drivers yet on the newly installed windows.You run the brigadier app (brigadier.exe) on the target machine to let it show the Mac model (ie: for a macbook air, early 2015 model the selection is 'MacBookAir7,2' ) and then run brigadier on your "donor" windows machine to download and package the drivers for easy deployment. (the tool will download the relevant driver packs from bootcamp site and will also repackage to be run on Windows)
If you own a Mac and you wanted to install Windows on it to run maybe some Windows software or games, Apple makes it possible by releasing Windows drivers which will allow Windows to run on your Mac computer.

General Boot Camp questions about installing Windows 8 on a Mac
Greetings. I am in the process of trying to get windows 7 onto my MacBPro, running 10.9.4. I have purchased Windows 7, downloaded it & have an .iso file.
I followed the instructions in bootcamp(gotten all proper windows updates) and utilized your bit of code to get bootcamp to create a bootable disc from the iso file and put it on a USB, which it does successfully. When I proceed to partition my drive through bootcamp, it stops me & says there is no bootable disc detected, pls install disc.
Through my research I have also installed rEFIt and using disk utility partitioned my drive and bypass bootcamp. When I start my mac, I get the rEFIt option to install windows from my USB, but in doing so it cannot find the BOOTMGR file.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hi Ira
When you boot your Mac hold down the ALT option key and then when the drives menus come up insert your USB drive and what pops up after that?
It should pop up with a Windows USB drive at that stage?

Hello, I have a problem installing Windows 10. Complete all the installation procedures, but it stops at this page and does not move to the next step. It keeps it like this for about 10 hours, and then it gives erorr, knowing that all copies are official and original.
I have Installed WIndows 8.1 using your method..But when i install Bootcamp Drivers..It installs them for a while and then screen goes black (when it is installing graphic drivers) and nothing happens eventually i have to restart my mac and then after the windows logo again that black screen appears..!
Any Suggestions ?
Hello Eric
try partitioning it using Disk Utility. then make a bootable USB with your preferred Windows Image. restart your Mac and as soon as you hear the startup chimes press and hold the ALT/OPT key until your partitions popup.
Hi. I already downloaded windows 8.1 (64-bit). And was in the process of making a bootable usb with the boot camp assistant but it prompts me with this message: Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use a ISO file for 64-bit Windows installation. I have a Macbook Air 10.9.2-early 2014. Please help. thanks
Hi Eric,
Yes it is free and you should be able to get all the boot camp drivers here.

Also the last part of this video should give you some idea how to install them.

Hi Neil Johnston
You need to follow this video and do it on a Windows PC to create the USB which you can then use to install Windows on your Mac. Or you can get Microsoft to post out a DVD copy. I think its like $10 more and you can create a ISO file from that DVD.
ok awesome! I watched the video but when it asks where you want to save the installation file you chose USB. Do i choose USB as well to transfer to my iMac? Because I can only install windows with an ISO file but my iMac does not have a DVD drive. and when you enter the product key while on PC, will it start to download windows to that PC?
Got it to work, but one problem! On my PC when I went to this website and clicked create media installation, I chose ISO file and saved that ISO to my flashdrive, which I then plugged into my iMac so I could use that ISO in Bootcamp. Everything installed except the bootcamp drivers never came up during the installation so I cant connect to the internet while in windows 8.1. Was I not supposed to create an ISO file?
Amigo sou Brasileiro, e queria sua ateno. Pelo Boot Camp no consegui de jeito nem um estalar o windows 8.1 pois optei em particionar meu HD com 20 GB no formato do windows e dar o Boot na maquina direto pelo pendrive, estalei tranquila mente o windows, mas fiquei sem som e sem internet, tem algum jeito de baixar esses drives pelo Mac e passar parra o pendrive depois escutar no windows ? Ou seja agora estou com windows e o OS X como opo de boot mas o windows no funciona som nem internet.
Pull up device manager, right click update driver software on the device and select browse my computer for driver software.
On the bottom of the next screen select let me pick from a list.. select network adapters then Broadcom on the left and then Broadcom 802.11ac network adapter. You may need to force the driver install since it is not detecting the device.
Hi, i want to ask
My Mac is 21.5 inch Mid 2010 and the Bootcamp drivers in your site is Windows 7, but i want to install Windows 8.1. Is it possible to install Windows 8.1 if my drivers is Windows 7 ?
thx
HI Bladimir Hernandez
Basically no. You need to make sure you select the correct size when you create the Windows partition first up. There is some 3rd party tools that may do this. However this is not something that I will help people with.
If you want to resize the partition properly I suggest removing the boot camp partition and reinstalling the Windows all over again.

Make sure you do a back up of your Windows data before you try this.

I have a couple of questions. If I back up my data with an external hard drive, can I use only one external hard drive for both Yosemite and Windows 8?
And if I decide to remove the boot camp partition and reinstall it, will I be allowed to use the same product key for windows 8 as I did the first time?
Hey, I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro and I have Windows 8.1 downloaded onto it through bootcamp assist.

Hi i have an early 2015 macbook pro. i am trying to install windows 10 iso via boot camp. i launch the boot camp amp, and can not get past the copying windows files screen. when it fails i get the message your bootable usb drive could not be created an error occurred while copying the windows installation files.
Thank you for the Bootcamp Assistant! I bought an Apple iMac from 2010 but Apple only gives the bootcamp assistant for Windows 7 and not for Windows 10.
The W7 Bootcamp drivers do not work with W10.
