Windows 11 is not officially supported. I'm not sure if will work, but you can try the same steps for Windows 10.


First (in Windows), download the latest Boot Camp Support Software. You'll get an archive (.zip) file. If not automatically done, right-click it and select "Extract All". Find ONLY the file named "AppleODDInstaller64.exe" in the 'Drivers' folder and double-click it. It may or may not work with Windows 11.

I downloaded 3 different versions of Bootcamp, the latest being 5.2 but all of them were rejected as 'this program is not suitable for this computer'

When I connect the drive, it is visible but refuse to take a cd.

It seems that the Mac Superdrive is incompatible with Windows 11.


Thanks anyways

Of course I tried that as well but nogo.

As explained, I can see the drive on the win 11 laptop but it refuses to take a cd.

This implies that the correct driver is not evident.


It seems that there is no experience regarding this subject and I may as well decide that the drive is not compatible with win 11.

Thanks anyways
