Windows 10 Drivers for Older MacBook Pro

I'm using my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011) while my newer one is off getting it's battery replaced.

Set up Mac and Windows partitions. Installed Windows 10 and then realized there aren't Boot Camp drivers that work with Win10 for that model MBP. Are there drivers I can install or should I just wipe the partition and install Windows 7?

Thanks!

Need windows drivers for Mac partition the version of Windows 10 installer and Boot Camp Assistant do not play well together. In fact. Boot Camp Assistant has been totally useless. I had to Partition the drive using Disk Utility and now that Windows is installed and up and running Boot Camp Assistant wants to delete it before it will do a thing. Windows does not recognize the wireless hardware, except to tell me I need a driver for it. Do I need to start over from scratch or is there another way to get support files for windows on a Mac partition?

Hello,

Officially Apple does not support Windows 10 on these older machines. The only workaround is to download the latest Windows 7 drivers for your MacBook and to individually install each component.
