The drivers seems to be of Windows 7 drivers, it says “you must run this on windows 7 pc” please help, am using MacBook Air 10,7 2011 Ed Se says February 9, 2019 at 6:44 pm. Jan 20, 2011 Some of Apple’s earlier hardware has weird Boot Camp support, primarily with 64-bit Windows. Even though the actual hardware itself is capable of running Windows x64, Apple wouldn’t support it. So, depending on the product line you have, getting the Boot Camp drivers installed could prove tricky.

Boot Camp requires a Mac with an Intel processor.

When you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp Assistant automatically opens the Boot Camp installer, which installs the latest Windows support software (drivers). If that doesn't happen, or you experience any of the following issues while using Windows on your Mac, follow the steps in this article.

• Your Apple mouse, trackpad, or keyboard isn't working in Windows.
  Force Touch isn't designed to work in Windows.
• You don't hear audio from the built-in speakers of your Mac in Windows.
• The built-in microphone or camera of your Mac isn't recognized in Windows.
• One or more screen resolutions are unavailable for your display in Windows.
• You can't adjust the brightness of your built-in display in Windows.
• You have issues with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in Windows.
• You get an alert that Apple Software Update has stopped working.
• You get a message that your PC has a driver or service that isn't ready for this version of Windows.
• Your Mac starts up to a black or blue screen after you install Windows.

If your Mac has an AMD video card and is having graphics issues in Windows, you might need to update your AMD graphics drivers instead.

Install the latest macOS updates

Before proceeding, install the latest macOS updates, which can include updates to Boot Camp.

Format a USB flash drive

To install the latest Windows support software, you need a 16GB or larger USB flash drive formatted as MS-DOS (FAT).

1. Start your Mac from macOS.
2. Plug the USB flash drive into your Mac.
3. Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
4. Choose View > Show All Devices from the menu bar.
5. From the sidebar in Disk Utility, select your USB flash drive. (Select the drive name, not the volume name beneath it.)
   
6. Click the Erase button or tab.
7. Choose MS-DOS (FAT) as the format and Master Boot Record as the scheme.
8. Click Erase to format the drive. When done, quit Disk Utility.

1. Make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
2. Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

Install the Windows support software

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.)

1. Make sure that the USB flash drive is plugged into your Mac.
2. Start up your Mac in Windows.
3. From File Explorer, open the USB flash drive, then open Setup or setup.exe, which is in the WindowsSupport folder or BootCamp folder. When you're asked to allow Boot Camp to make changes to your device, click Yes.
4. Click Repair to begin installation. If you get an alert that the software hasn't passed Windows Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
5. After installation completes, click Finish, then click Yes when you're asked to restart your Mac.

If you can't download or save the Windows support software:

• If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.
• If the assistant doesn't see your USB flash drive, click Go Back and make sure that the drive is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac—not to a display, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.
• If the assistant says that it can't download the software because of a network problem, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
• Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp.

If a Mac feature still doesn't work after updating the Windows support software, search for your symptom on the Apple support website or Microsoft support website. Some features of your Mac aren't designed to work in Windows.

Remember when Apple promised that Boot Camp would be updated to officially support Windows 7 in late 2009? It turns out that promise was a few weeks off, but the company has finally delivered, only one week after Microsoft’s beloved Patch Tuesday.

Boot Camp 3.1 for 32-bit Windows and 64-bit Windows, recommended for all users of Boot Camp 3.0, finally brings official support for the Apple wireless keyboard and everybody’s favorite Apple Magic Mouse. There are also a few bugs fixed for the Apple trackpad, and the infrared sensor on all MacBooks now turns off on when it’s not being used, to help conserve battery power.

But wait, there’s more. For ladies and gents planning to do a straight upgrade to Windows 7 from Windows Vista instead of a clean install, there’s this lovely Boot Camp Utility upgrade. It fixes an error that occurs because the Windows 7 installer foolishly tries to write to your computer’s read-only Mac OS X partition. Just download the file while you’re in Windows Vista, follow the rest of the directions in this tech note, and you’re good to go.

Macbook Pro Driver For Windows 10

If you’ve got a Mac Pro or an iMac, you’ll want to grab these firmware updates. Graphics Firmware Update 1.0 lets your GPU play nicer with Windows 7. Download the 1.20MB update from Apple’s site if Software Update doesn’t grab it for you, and run the installer as usual.

If you have a 21.5-inch or 27-inch iMac that was first introduced in October, 2009, there’s a driver update for Windows just for you. This one is a bit trickier, as it requires a spare USB drive to move the drivers from OS X to Windows Vista or Windows 7. Just leave the USB drive plugged in while you’re installing Windows 7, and the installer should grab the necessary drivers right off the drive with no muss or fuss. There’s a fourteen-step tech note to help walk you through the whole process.

Phew! Some of these procedures don’t exactly feel “Mac-like,” but at least Apple’s provided thorough documentation. Then again, I suppose Steve Jobs isn’t much of a Windows fan.
