I had Windows 7 installed via Bootcamp which worked fine, I then used the free upgrade to Windows 10. All went smoothly but I'm not getting any sound and can't do things like change the brightness via the F1 and F2 keys.

 

I tried to install the drivers but it appears they're only for Windows 7? I went ahead anyway but it hangs when trying to install audio.

 

I looked at a guide that said run Apple Software Updater, but there isn't anything to update in here.. it just asks me to install iTunes and Quick Time but nothing appears in the update section of the app.

 

I have the first Retina Macbook Pro (2012) which looks to be supported.

 

The instructions on the Apple site show this image:

Mine says 'Create a Windows 7 or later install disk' rather than Windows 8 and when I click 'Download the latest Windows support software' it provides me with two options to cancel or go to support site.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

actually I just did this a few hours ago. It downloaded drivers that worked just fine for windows 10. Though during the install of the drivers it froze while installing the Realtek drivers. Had to rename the realtek folder on the usb stick so it would skip it. Then the broadcom wireless wouldn't install so I had to extract the wifi install package and manually install it by pointing it to the inf file.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

 

It seems the drivers are only properly included if you create a fresh Windows 10 media, but not when doing the upgrade. Unless I'm just doing something wrong.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
