Mac Bootcamp Windows 7 Support Software Download: Tips and Tricks for Using Windows on Your Mac



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.




Mac Bootcamp Windows 7 Support Software Download




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.


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.)


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.


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.

You're stepping into the realm of the unsupported, so you're at your own risk here. What you can try is: get the download you think you want; open it with 7-zip; Now instead of running the installer, open the Folder that contains the individual driver installers. Run each of those. If it doesn't work, you can uninstall from the Windows Control Panel and try again with the drivers Apple said you should use.


Ah. Thats sad. You may be looking for the impossible. Your last hope is probably to try this page on older Mac models -encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers For models older than that, you're in the era before BootCamp downloads, and you probably need an OS X Leopard or earlier install CD.


Hi Andrew,If you have an older Mac, follow the instructions at -encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers. If your Mac is on the list at the top of this page, then click the apple link at the top of the page.Cheers,Chris


Q.: Is there a proven working method of installing Windows 11 on an Intel-based Macbook, Macbook Pro, or Air? A.: Here is the method that worked for us (valid as of October 2021 for any Windows 10 compatible Macbook).1. Download 64-bit Windows 10 ISO image from Microsoft (Link: -gb/software-download/windows10)2. In macOS Use "Boot Camp Assistant" app and feed it with downloaded ISO image in order to initialize and install the Boot Camp environment normally.3. When Windows 10 is up and running, go to AveYo MCT GitHub and from there download / unzip the zip archive (you might need to click the "Code" button on that page in order to see the zip download option).4. From the folder where you unpacked that zip, run "MCT/Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update_v2.cmd".5. From the same folder, run "MediaCreationTool.bat" (a window titled "MCT Version" should appear).There choose "11". Another window will appear, there choose "Auto Setup", this will download Windows 11 21H2 and install it for you.


Step 5: After selecting the ISO file and adjusting the partition sizes, click Install. The Boot Camp Assistant will download Windows support software, partition the disk, and copy the necessary Windows files to get started. You will then be prompted to enter your administrator password, and shortly thereafter, macOS will reboot into Windows Setup.


Step 17: Click the Start Button and select Apple Software Update. Select any of the updates that appear, and click the Install items button in the bottom right-hand corner. Click Yes on the User Account Control pop up windows that appears, and click Install on any additional related software installations.


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


So how does this work? First, start Mac OS X Lion and head over to Go/Utilities/Boot Camp Assistant. On a Mac with an optical drive, the first dialogue box gives you the option to download the "Windows support software" (i.e. Boot Camp 4.0, which includes all the necessary Windows drivers):


If you'd rather install Windows using a USB thumb drive, read the steps below first and then move on. At any rate, make sure that "Download the Windows support software for this Mac" is checked, which starts a download assistant that puts the Boot Camp 4.0 drivers on your desktop, on a separate USB drive or burns it onto a blank CD/DVD. 2ff7e9595c
