From your Mac, go to -download/windows10
Note The download site detects what Operating System you are using, and will only give you the correct options to do this if you go to the site from a Mac.
As long as you have an Intel-based Mac with enough storage and the correct Windows 10 ISO file, you can run Windows on your Apple computer in less than an hour. From then on, anytime you boot up your Mac, you can choose to run either Windows 10 or the latest MacOS. Here's how.
While I was trying to connect an Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard through a bluetooth dongle on my PC, I've also downloaded and installed the Boot Camp for Windows (it was an .exe file, so I ran it, because I was curious). Now that I give up trying to connect the keyboard through the dongle, I also want to uninstall the Boot camp program on my Windows. I looked it up several times already, but all posts are about Windows on Bootcamp, not Bootcamp in Windows. Somehow there are no uninstall files nor has the 'Programs and features' the option to delete it, it only shows Change and Repair. How can I uninstall this?
I had this same issue, also on a pc, also trying to get driver support for a mac keyboard. I couldn't use the Command Prompt suggestion b/c apparently there was no .msi file (I also used 7-zip to look into the .exe for an .msi to no avail) - I assume it was a botched install because this isn't a mac. I couldn't use the default Windows add/uninstall programs tool, nor the one linked in other support articles (Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall tool). I tried reinstalling bootcamp hoping to use an uninstall/repair option, but couldn't because .. this isn't a mac - it said the install wasn't compatible with my machine. I have no idea how I managed to get a partial install in the first place, but I assume that's partly why there was no .msi file. I couldn't remove the program because it was running, I couldn't shut it down, and I didn't have any of the standard uninstall options available.
What worked for me was simple, in the end: I opened task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and went to the start up tab. I disabled bootcamp from start up. Which then meant that after restarting my machine, I could go into C:\Program Files\ and delete the boot camp folder (which I couldn't do previously because it was launching at startup). No more boot camp.
The simplest way I found was to run the install package of the original driver version using msiexec /i bootcamp.msi in the command prompt window (as Admin). This repaired anything broken from other removal attempts.

Worked for me as well, I recently got a new keyboard to replace my ever faithful and well-loved magic keyboard and found I won't be needing the bootcamp drivers anymore. Discovered that I couldn't remove the program from windows settings, I've also mistakenly deleted the Bootcamp drivers folder. So I proceeded to download them, then I proceeded to unisntall bootcamp using msiexec /x bootcamp.msi in command promt(admin) in the bootcamp drivers folder and it proceded to uninstall without a hitch. Bootcamp's gone and I have access to my F keys again.
I'm trying to install windows 7 on my 2011 iMac using Boot Camp assistant. I have the latest windows support software downloaded and loaded onto my flash drive, and I have a windows 7 install disc in the optical drive. When I try to start the install, I get a window that pops up and says "windows 10 is not supported on this mac. Please use a DVD or USB drive which contains Windows 7 or Windows 8." But I have a windows 7 disc inserted. I even downloaded a Windows 8.1 ISO from microsoft and tried installing with that and got the same error message. I know windows 10 isn't supported because the iMac is too old, but I'm not sure why it can't install windows 7. I also just upgraded to Sierra (10.12.2). Thanks for any help!
Thanks for the suggestion, didn't realize that was an option! I attempted to do this and it looked like it would have worked, but due to some unrelated problems it didn't for me (I had issues partitioning the drive). It eventually worked using boot camp though (looks like it was some kind of glitch). So in case anyone else comes across this problem, here's what fixed it:
When I initially tried installing through boot camp, I got to the window with two check boxes, one for downloading windows support, the other for installing windows 7 or 8. I downloaded the windows support, and that check box automatically unchecked itself. I clicked "next" (or "continue" or whatever) to install, but at this point I didn't have the windows 7 install disc inserted. An error window popped up saying I needed to insert the disc, which I did. When I hit next again, I got the error window saying I couldn't install windows 10. I tried restarting and running boot camp again, but when I did that I didn't have the download windows support box checked (since I'd already downloaded it). I clicked next to install it and got the same error about windows 10. After trying the manual installation of windows 7 like Loner T suggested and running into problems, I wound up trying boot camp once more. This time I left the download windows support checked, let it download, had the disc inserted the whole time, and when I clicked next this time, it actually worked for some bizarre reason! I didn't try it, but I imagine this would also work with windows 8.1 since it looked like it was the same problem. So in short, I think it would have worked from the start if I had both boxes checked and the disc inserted when I began.
I see the same problem, but one more: Even after restarting the macbook with the DVD with win7 on it inserted, I first got, after downloading the requested support data, a message that a DVD was not found. Hitting the "continue-button" again, the commonly known prompt showed up saying that "windows 10 is not supported" although there was no win 10 DVD inserted, but a win 7 DVD. I tried this many times and nothing helped. Any further suggestions?
I have MacBook Pro 2011 late and I install win7 and upgrade it to win 10 (it's not supported for win10), but will that affect the machine or software any way?, coz I had problem in my hard drive so I format it and re-install OS X 10.12.6 and when entering bootcamp it says win10 not supported for win7 DVD!!, but do check for two options of bootcamp and hit next it works correctly but when he restart the Mac it shows black page and I stuck in it, what can I do?!! please help me and answer.
i don't have any problems with win7 & 10 DVDs, actually i install win 7 and upgrade it to win 10 in the first time i use this laptop, also when i upgrade to win 10 i made lots of mistakes so i re-install it more than one time in the laptop and nothing happened, all functions was working correctly and i didn't get any band because of not supported software, after i finish the process of installation correctly win10 partition and OS X partition was working perfectly and smoothly i didn't face any problems; but before three weeks from now the laptop dropped from my hand and it does contact with ground, i check all of the hard hardware and everything is working perfectly only hard drive is damaged so i formatted and reinstall OS X 10.7.2,10.10,10.11,10.12.6 and no one of them makes me install win7, i also tried to connect my hard drive to another PC and enter windows boot and i do fully format for all partition even recovery partition and i delete them so they became un-allocated and try again and nothing happened, i change the hard drive twice and i try again and again without any hope, it restarts and doesn't enter into the windows boot.
actually now i realize whats the problem, it looks like the apple BIOS or something like that is upgraded to it's last version and this version doesn't allow to install win7, also when i try to delete the recovery partition to try installing old one, apple internet recovery starts and re-install the same apple bios and it doesn't allow to install windows, so i think i have two choices to install it as separated partition, one of them is to put my hard drive into another mac and only install windows without drivers (i can install the necessary drivers for my mac), the other way i don't know if it will work it's to connect my hard drive to other pc or laptop and install win7 and install OS X in another partition and re-connet the hard drive into the macbook, i'm not sure will the mac read the OS X partition? and if it do that will it read windows partition?
