Q: Unable to download Boot Camp 6

hello nuthman,

please check your apple software app in windows 10, you will receive the bootcamp 6 update there.

also make sure your mac is on latest os update. 10.10.5.

Cheers!!

Wait, but in order to get windows 10, you need boot camp 6

No. you don't require bootcamp 6. install windows 10 (upgrade from 8.1 or clean install doesn't matter). after installing open the apple software update, you will receive the bootcamp 6 update for win 10.

I updated my software in the Mac app store until it says "no available updates" but in my boot camp, i see that it is still at 5.1.4 and when i try to perform a install of windows 10, it says that it needs to be updated.

If you have Windows 10 installed, and after booting into Windows 10, open Apple Software Update for Windows and install available updates.to makes sure the Windows Support Software (drivers) for Boot Camp are up to date.

If one has trouble getting windows 10, then how do they follow your instructions? The point is that we can't get windows 10 because we can't get boot camp 6.

After struggling to download Boot Camp 6 using Apple Software Update - frequent disconnects, no resume support - I was finally able to download the installer. In order to spare similar pain to fellow users, I have created a torrent for the file which can be accessed at: http://www.demonoid.pw/files/details/3250118/53850648/

Sorry guys, the above demonoid / torrent link has been deleted.

I have also been unable to download boot camp 6. I did get windows 10 first though. When you click to get your upgrade, do you get a message that tells you your computer can't handle the upgrade? If yes, google that message. there is a workaround. I can't remember the message or find the workaround tab I used.

Once you have windows 10, run apple software update. right click on bootcamp (or maybe the menu is in the Tools pulldown) to download only.

I still had trouble at this stage downloading boot camp 6. This link that explains how to get the latest version of boot camp when the mac is running - If you don't see some features of your Mac in Windows - Apple Support
