As for my Mac being pre-UEFI, what's the cut-off on that? I thought all Intel Macs were UEFI-based. The supported method is How to use Apple Software Update for Windows - Apple Support. Or is it one of those things where I can use the Boot Camp drivers that gives me and then update some of them from vendors from there? It seems like they haven't updated them since the 1607 era which is what prompts my question. Are they even supporting current Windows 10 versions? My question is merely: are the Boot Camp drivers for this Mac () supporting 1809? I erased the installation and did a reinstall with the same result. My presumption is that the MacBook Pro 2018 drivers have not installed appropriately, but I am at a dead end on how to get them. There is no "D:" drive on my installed Windows 10 installation, and no mechanism for loading these drivers manually since I am unable to download them through MacOS, and no ability to read a jump drive through the Windows 10 installation since it cannot read a jump drive or a DVD. ![]() When troubleshooting the problem through the Apple support web site, I attempted to locate the "OSXRESERVED" drive, nowhere does it appear, nor does the BootCamp folder. I am unable to connect a USB drive through a Thunderbolt => USB adapter that works fine in MacOS. Again, works fine in MacOS with same adapter. Windows will not recognize the Apple SuperDrive through the appropriate USB to Thunderbolt adapter. None of the Windows 10 typical screen settings appear to function for the Macbook Pro screen, although I can see the default screen without difficulty. I am unable to connect to an external monitor through a thunderbolt port which works fine in MacOS. The installation appears to run in the normal manner, after it installs it goes into the Boot Camp installation program for what I have assumed are the appropriate drivers for this machine from Apple which were downloaded earlier in the Boot Camp installation process.Īfter several minutes with the Boot Camp installation in Windows 10 and then rebooting, it appears that the drivers for one or more components of the my MacBook Pro hardware are not present, based on the following problems: When I run Boot Camp Assistant, I configure the partition for 200Gb after downloading the current Windows 10 ISO file for which I have the appropriate activation code. ![]() I need to run Boot Camp for a specific Windows 10 application that will not run under Parallels or Fusion.Īfter Quitting all MacOS program which I can identify as running, I bring up the Boot Camp Assistant. Where are the Boot Camp Drivers? I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch, 2018, with 32Gb RAM and a 2Tb SSD, running MacOS Mojave, 10.14.3. I should say that this isn't my primary Mac and it won't be my primary PC either (so using Windows 10 Pro from the standpoint of compatibility with other apps and services external to the operating system and drivers isn't necessarily a must here).Īny input or information here, especially from those more knowledgeable about Boot Camp Support software releases for Windows than I am, would be most appreciated! Thanks! Given that the Boot Camp software for my machine has not been updated in some time, would it be better to stick with an older version of Windows 10 (such as these LTSC/B releases that I have access to) so as to ensure maximum compatibility with the drivers Apple supplies here? And if so, should I use LTSB 2016 or is LTSC 2019 likely to work just as well? Or does it not really matter and am I good to just install the most current version of Windows 10 Pro? I also have Windows 10 Pro that I can use (although my options for a supported version of Windows 10 Pro are limited to 1809 or newer until October, and then 1909 or newer thereafter). I have access to both Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 (based on Windows 10 v1607, but with extended support for security patches until 2026) and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (based on Windows 10 v1809, but with extended support for security patches until 2029). I also know that Apple hasn't updated Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 for this MacBook Pro in quite some time. ![]() I know Intel's support for Ivy Bridge is limited at best. This MacBook Pro uses 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge CPUs. At some point between now and the release of macOS Catalina's last security patch, I'm going to probably wipe the SSD clean and turn it into a Windows 10 machine. With the release of macOS Big Sur, this MacBook Pro's days running a supported version of macOS (that will receive regular security updates) are effectively numbered. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012).
