Mar 28, 2019  Repair and update Boot Camp drivers in Windows 10. Complete the given below directions to repair the Boot Camp in Windows 10. Step 1: The first step is to download the Boot Camp software from Apple. If you have access to the macOS on your Mac machine, refer to our how to download Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 guide for step-by-step directions. I've been able to load Windows 8.1 on my old MacBook 7,1 (mid 2010 I think) by cheating and playing with the Boot Camp Assistants info.plist. This actually worked to my surprise but it appears that at least some of the boot camp files haven't been installed (keyboard and internet works) and in particular the trackpad drivers are missing even though it works with the defaults.

I've installed Windows 8 on a 2nd partition on my MacBook.

Now I would like to install the BootCamp drivers from Apple, so that my hardware will work correctly.

However when I try to run Setup, I get the following error:

Installation Error

Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model

Is there any way to get around this?
