Sep 8, 2015 1:32 AM in response to bpyle0092by kamenriderika,Using MBP Early 2011.
Successfully installed Win10 on my MBP. Boots good.
Jumped into the upgrade without reading the support page first. It was too late when I found out our MBPs do not support win10.
However:
- No bootcamp icon; actually, no Bootcamp Assistant can be found
- which means I can't set the default boot device
- Trackpad does not work as expected
- No double tapping for right click
- I haven't discovered how to right click. (help!)
- Can't tap to click
- But works ok for normal clicking/dragging
- I'm not sure if it's just me (it could just be me), but the display isn't as sharp as in win8.
Otherwise, my MBP is usable. Just installed steam and tried DOTA2.

Sep 8, 2015 5:07 AM in response to kamenriderikaby Loner T,You can try to install older drivers using Administrative privileges and compatibility mode set to the original OS of the driver.

Sep 8, 2015 6:14 PM in response to kamenriderikaby Mikerini,I have installed it without any problems. I have also installed Bootcamp 5.1.5621 and I have all the options from inside of it.
The only big major problem is that i have no sound and still didn't manage to find the proper drivers for it.
I have MBP 13" Early 2011 -

Sep 10, 2015 5:10 AM in response to Mikeriniby Loner T,W10 has Driver signature enforcement, which can be relaxed. Please see http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on- 64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-insta… . You can use the W7/W8 drivers when installed via Administrative Privileges and computability mode set to W7/W8.

Sep 11, 2015 12:47 PM in response to Mikeriniby Loner T,BIOS Mode UEFI
This is the issue for your sound not working, because models prior to Late 2013 do not expose devices properly. Can you backup your current Windows, remove it via BC Assistant and install W10 as a clean installation?

Sep 11, 2015 11:57 PM in response to Loner Tby Mikerini,The problem is that i could not install WIndows via BC, i've tried all the possibilities, i get this error and can't get it work.
The way i installed was just by booting from the USB stick.
I have ISO of the windows and an USB Stick 8GB one and the iso is about 3-4gb. I don't have a dvd unit installed anymore.
Do you have any suggestions ?
Thank you very much for you help

This is an issue. Can you temporarily re-install an Optical drive?
From How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support and MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) - Technical Specifications, the Model Identifier 8,1 is tied to a model with an Optical drive. You can try using an external Optical drive, but it may not work.
Please see the following links

Sep 12, 2015 7:14 AM in response to Loner Tby Mikerini,That's exaclty how I have installed it 1st time, mounting the image and when booting pressing option to boot from usb and installed windows . . . . it was written EFI
I'll give it another try and if it doesn't work I will try with windows 8.1 but I think it's the same . . . everyone is complaining of no sound issues on windows 8+ .. . mabye there is no fix for my problem
