Apple Bootcamp Download: Everything You Need to Know About Windows Support Software for Mac



After downloading the Windows support software to your flash drive, follow these steps to install the software. (If you're attempting to resolve issues with a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, it might be easier to use a USB mouse or keyboard until these steps are complete.)




apple bootcamp download




Before installing Windows 7, Boot Camp Assistant gave me the option of downloading the support software. However, it turned out that this wasn't possible. I got the error message "Download could not continue. The Windows support software is not available online." So I installed Windows hoping I could get the support software from somewhere else.


If you follow the links given in this tutorial, you will find the drivers for your Mac can be downloaded from the Apple website Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033. If you are installing 64 bit Windows 7, 8 or 10, then you can follow the instructions given as the accepted answer to the question Using Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4033 to install 64 bit Windows 7 or 8.


The issue is that the "OSXRESERVED" partition, that is created as part of the bootcamp process, is only 8GB in size. The drivers and ISO files need to save in this partition during the process and the 8GB is no longer enough to accommodate these files.


Then, search for your ModelIdentifier in the table below. Click the link to get the download package. Be patient as they are 600MB to over 1GB. It will be much simpler if you do the download in OS X, because OS X can open the downloaded file and also open the dmg file inside it.


Still in Mac OS X, once your pkg is downloaded, double click it and install to a folder on your hard drive so you know where to find it. During the Installation, click the "Change Location" option so that you can choose where it gets installed.


If you must do the download in Windows instead OS X, it's harder. You will need the help on -encounter.net/p860/opening-a-bootcamp-driver-download-on-windows-7-or-8-with-7-zip to open the pkg file and the dmg file inside it.


Most of these driver downloads work for both Windows 7 and Windows 8. Windows 8 on 32-bit is not officially supported, but almost everything seems to works on fine on not-officially supported models: the only specific shortcoming I'm aware of is that the screen brightness buttons don't work on all models.


I found a proper fix. The original solution does not allow the scroll to work because the currently available mouse driver on the apple website is an old one, from 2011. Since I have a MacBook I was able to download a more recent version of the driver from Bootcamp Assistant, 2015 version, and when installed on my other windows PC the scroll works perfectly! Now, I can share this driver with anyone that wants it, but I don't know what website to upload it to? It's an .exe file so lots of services block it thinking it's a virus.


I did this but the magic mouse won't scroll. Further research has not solved it except with more added 3rd party unknown software. The reason I am back on Dell is because apple makes it SO HARD to share with other platforms. Witness trying to get a photo out of "photo". It should be drag and drop but instead it's an export procedure. I'm happy to be totally back in Windows and out of Apple computers. I still use the ipad because there still doesn't appear to be a good competitor for that unfortunately.


Windows 11 isn't currently compatible with Boot Camp Assistant on MacOS. So, you'll need to download Windows 10 instead. You can download a free disc image, also known as an ISO file, of Windows 10 from the official Windows website.


The Windows 10 ISO file is nearly 6GB, so depending on your internet connection and speed, it could take up to 30 minutes to finish downloading. After the ISO file is done, leave it in your downloads, and move on to the next step.


Feel free to use Windows how you want. Windows 10's default web browser is Microsoft Edge, but you can use it to download Chrome or anything else to surf the internet. You can then download files and install software you would only be able to install on a Windows-powered computer -- like Paint.NET and certain games from Steam -- but on your Mac.


What if you need to download Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 without the help of Boot Camp Assistant software? For instance, you might want to install Boot Camp drivers on a Mac computer where Windows 10 is the only operating system. As you likely know, Boot Camp support software are not no longer available for direct download from Apple website.


Brigadier is a free utility developed to enable you download Boot Camp drivers or support software without having to open Boot Camp Assistant. In short, with Brigadier tool, you can download Boot Camp drivers on Windows 10 running on Mac.


According to the developer, Brigadier downloads and unpacks ESD that applies to the Mac model on which you run this tool. The tool uses 7-Zip software to extract the ESD. If 7-Zip is not found, it will automatically download the same and will remove the same after extracting the ESD.


Step 2: Run Brigadier. You will see a Command Prompt window upon running the tool. The Command Prompt window, as you can see in the picture, displays all the information about the Boot Camp support software download, including the download progress.


for those who are having problems installing the bootcamp because it says it can only be installed on windows 7 you can go on the bootcamp setup and go to properties and the compatibility tab and select run this program in compatibility mode for (select windows 7 ) click apply and just open the app


In case I want to buy a bluetooth Mac keyboard to be used in a Windows pc , should I get the bootcamp drivers with Brigadier and install them as normal drivers in windows 10? As I understand I must download the drivers only in a Mac pc first.


So my question1.) Will brigadier help?2.) How do I use it? I run the setup file and it runs fine, downloads what it needs and just exits. I checked and it mentions something about using windows 7. Help


i can not get brigadier to download a specific product. i have tried, even putting in the model macbookpro12,1 and it still downloads the latest which does my poor macbookpro no good as it is not supported by this product ID


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 appreciatedIra


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.Boot camp driversAlso the last part of this video should give you some idea how to install them.How to remove a bootcamp partition and install Windows support software from Apple.CheersMatt


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?


Hey, I have a mid 2015 MacBook Pro and I have Windows 8.1 downloaded onto it through bootcamp assist. I tried downloading the driver BootCamp5.1.5640 and it says that this driver doesnt work for this computer model. I was able to go in and manually add some and some worked (like the volume, bluetooth, etc), but the wifi DOES NOT work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Hi Yohan,See my reply to Davey.Hi Davey For the time being see if you can use a USB mouse and keyboard. The thing to check would be the device manager and see what drivers are missing. Then use the boot camp downloads to see if the devices will disappear. Try using an older version than 5.1.5640. Cheers Matt
