Boot Camp Drivers for iMac (Early 2009) - How to Run Windows on Your Mac
If you have an iMac (Early 2009) and you want to run Windows on it, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10 on your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant is a utility that comes with your Mac and lets you switch between macOS and Windows. However, before you install Windows, you also need to download and install the latest Boot Camp support software (drivers) from Apple. These drivers are essential for your Mac to work properly with Windows.
What are Boot Camp Drivers?

For example, without Boot Camp drivers, your keyboard, mouse, trackpad, speakers, microphone, camera, display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other components may not function correctly or at all in Windows. Boot Camp drivers also provide support for features such as Force Touch, brightness control, keyboard backlight and more.
