Q: boot camp installing 8.1 windows
hi hoping somebody could help....
I bought a copy of windows 8.1 as bootcamp no longer supports windows 7.. I need windows for a few programs so hence using bootcamp.
the installation went fine (I purchased windows 8.1 via MS and created a iso on a usb)
The drivers are missing for
network adaptor - so no wifi
there is also about 8 other exclamation marks on the device manager
SPI device
I have tried selecting the correct broadcom driver but no look
I downloaded the bootcamp support...this said that is does not support this model macbook.
however I ran it through command prompt with admin rights and it said it was installing drivers etc
however, i still have no network connections or wifi etc.

You need to download drivers as indicated in System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support. If your specific model is not mentioned or has BCA, you need to use only BCA to download drivers. Manual downloads may not provide appropriate drivers on Macs from 2015.
