Q: Why does Windows 10 not recognize my Apple keyboard and mouse?
My Issue:
- I purchased a hard copy of Windows 10 at Best Buy so I can play PC games on my iMac.
- I downloaded Microsoft's latest ISO file on March 7, 2016
- On Boot Camp Assistant, under "Select Tasks," I checked all 3 boxes.
- My Windows Support Software is up-to-date.
- I was able to install Windows 10 and partition my drive successfully using Boot Camp Assistant on my first try.
- In Windows Setup, it said, "Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 4: BOOTCAMP" due to my Windows partition not being NTFS formatted. I pressed "next" anyway and it seemingly worked because I was able to continue.
- In startup disk (press option key during startup chime), I am able to select the Windows drive.
- I am now stuck on this screen below:
- There is no cursor.
- Windows 10 does not recognize my keyboard and my mouse. I am not able to use them at all. I have to restart the computer to get out of this screen.
- My keyboard and mouse are still able to work on my regular home user screen, though.
- It's March 10, 2016 and I still don't know what to do. Any help would be massively appreciated!
