Q: Can Macbook Pro (15-inch, late 2008) support bootcamp 5.1 and windows 10?
Want to install windows 10 in bootcamp partition. Apple docs indicate this version of MacBook pro only supports bootcamp 4. Windows 8 requires bootcamp 5.1. Should I assume this is the end of the line for software upgrades on this old MacBook Pro?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Bootcamp 4, Windows 7, 64 bit

I now have Windows 10 running in Bootcamp 4 partition, dual booted with Yosemite. I have full trackpad functionality thanks to Vladimir Plenskiy's Trackpad ++ downloaded at http://www.filecluster.com/downloads/Trackpad-Driver-and-Control-Module.html. You must install PowerPlan7 first to override the trusted site digital signature error. Software is safe and it works!!!! All other Win 10 functionality is good and apps run faster than on 7 or 8.1, preserving my MacPro as a nice office machine.
