Welcome to the Apple Support Communities


Have you installed Boot Camp drivers? You need them to make your computer work properly on Windows, and to use your function keys as Play or Pause, volume and brightness keys.


To install them, follow these steps:


1. Press the X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X.


2. Open Boot Camp Assistant and tick only the option to download Windows support software.


3. Windows support software will be downloaded and Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to burn it into a DVD or USB drive, so do it.


4. Start into Windows, insert the DVD or USB drive and install Boot Camp drivers. Your Mac and your volume and brightness keys will be working after installing the drivers
