Apple released a Boot Camp 5 update that added 64-bit driver support for Windows 7 and Windows 8 on Tuesday. Instead of a single updater file, Apple has two updaters to choose from depending on. Apr 07, 2011 This Boot Camp update addresses issues with shutdown, Japanese and Korean keyboards on early 2011 MacBook Pro. For more information, please visit this website http. Jul 25, 2011 The 2011 MacBook Air addresses nearly every concern anyone could lob at its predecessor. It's still light on ports, the missing SD slot on the 11.

Part A: Create Bootable Windows 10 USB Drive
There are plenty of tutorials available online for this step..
Here's one using Windows:
- Download the Windows 10 ISO from MicrosoftResume again and thoroughly restart cracks or downloads on downloads it due to Missing Associations, Big Management, PC Closures, or Amazing Dark Options options. The basic realistic UI is easy to use and easy to use. Idm free license key. Web Download Supervisor is a strange download logic to innovate pirates to speed up the agent, download smart, powerful record divisions and speed up your downloads.
- Download Rufus
- Install & Use the tool with the ISO (Pretty obvious eh?) and use FAT32 formatting with GPT for UEFI based systems in the dropdown.
Part B: Partition HDD/SSD for Windows 10 using Disk Utility
- Open Disk Utility and select the disk on the sidebar (Select the disk and not the partition)
- Click on the Partition Tab and then the '+' icon
- Create a new partition with any name & size (preferably >30GB) and format it to FAT32
- Click Apply and wait for changes to take effect
- Close Disk Utility

- Download rEFInd
- Extract the zip file
- Open Terminal App
- CD to the extracted folder's location (Google how to use CD commands)
- Type './install.sh' without the quotation marks
- Enter password
- Run the command on step 5 again!!! (Sometimes it doesn't work on the first go..)
- Quit Terminal App and Shut Down your MB/MBP
Part D: Install Windows 10
- When you boot, you'll see rEFInd window instead
- You'll be presented with the option to boot from USB drive..
- Select the right-most option! (The one with USB thumbnail! Select the 2nd one if 2 USB thumbnail options are available..)
- Install Windows 10 (Same as the installation for Windows 8/8.1)
- Your MB/MBP will reboot.. Select the Windows Icon with Hard Disk thumbnail this time!!!
- Installation will proceed..
Part E: Downloading Boot Camp Drivers
After Windows 10 is up and running:
- Download Boot Camp 5.1.5722 Drivers
- Extract the Drivers on the Desktop..
- Run CMD or PowerShell as administrator (Use the combination Shift + fn + F10 for right-click)
- CD into BootCamp5.1.5722/BootCamp/Drivers/Apple
- Run 'BootCamp.msi'
Note: We are using CMD/PowerShell to bypass Elevated Permissions for MSI Installer
Et Voila!!! All drivers will install automatically via Boot Camp..
Latest and compatible NVIDIA and ATI drivers will automatically get installed via Windows Update!
Optional
Part E: Bypass rEFInd boot screen
- Boot to OS X
- Go to System Preferences
- Select Startup Disk

Hey all,
I only recently got my mid 2011 Macbook Air 13' and have had no problems thus far. However, today I tried using Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 onto my machine and there appears to be a problem in downloading the 'Windows Support Software' (i.e. drivers). It only reaches ~20% and stops there. I've tried DL links that have been around these forums and none of them seem to work (as they are dated to be early 2011 drivers, not mid 2011). Where might I directly download these drivers in a 'BootCampESD.pkg like' file? Does anyone have a link? If not, how might I get Boot Camp Assistant to actually download the drivers?
NOTE: I have Windows 7 installed and my flash drive has been formatted to MS-DOS (FAT32) so everything is fine except for the friggin' download. I'm also using Boot Camp 4.0.1 since I'm on Lion..
I greatly appreciate any and all help!
