If you don't have access to the online guide via a different device, print a copy of the Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide.If your computer cannot run macOS High Sierra version 10.13.x or newer, you will need to follow Apple's Boot Camp Help: Install Windows on your Mac. This guide is written for macOS Big Sur, version 11.x or newer.I think you'll be happy running Windows 10 but you will need the Apple drivers. You can't rely on Windows update to do it as it will definitely not add these drivers for you. So unless you are going to install a lot (on the same machine) it is far easier to install Bootcamp version 6 and then change any drivers you don't like. You can (if you prefer) add the service manually and add the registry keys directly to enable right click, keyboard backlight. The easiest way by far to get this is to install it from Bootcamp setup. HFS+ for Windows 8 Free Edition (Bootcamp version 6 of AppleHFS.sys causes BSOD if you use Hyper-V, earlier version cause restore points and system image creation to fail).īootcamp service is required for trackpad and keyboard to work and you need to also run AppleControlPanel at least once.Intel HD4000 Display Adapter (The Apple version is old and as it is 310MB so I don't want to install it and get Windows update to upgrade it only to have to delete the old version with pnputil.exe).BroadcomWirelessWin8圆4 (the Bootcamp version 6 causes BSOD).AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller64 (not great but I use it - you could install Trackpad++ instead if you want gestures).I have added the following to my Windows 10 ISO - you may need some different ones depending on your exact hardware. Nor will you get drivers for keyboard (required for backlight, function keys as well as layout), SD card, Camera (although the generic one isn't bad), Wi-Fi etc. You will not get a trackpad driver from Windows update.

The only driver that Windows updates for me is Intel 4000 Display adapter (and only if I install the old one from Apple which I don't). Windows update will not install your drivers at all. I wonder if it's worth trying route 2) (if it's possible at all with the Mac), who knows? maybe Microsoft has excellent drivers for the Macs, including gestures working on trackpads.No.
