Use Boot Camp Assistant to download the drivers. Read the documentation contained within BCA.


If you have Boot Camp 5.x.x then download Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 for the drivers.

The Boot Camp Assistant can burn Boot Camp software (drivers) to a DVD or copy it to a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or hard drive. These are the only media you can use to install Boot Camp software.

You can download the support software directly in Windows and extract and run the various installers from there. .

Windows 7 retail comes with both 32 and 64-bit DVD media, unless you ordered through school etc.


There really is no reason for anyone today to be using 32-bit OS on desktop.

Depending on your Mac you would be limited to 4GB RAM or less. And poor memory management, poor GPU support as well even.


There are always 32 and 64-bit drivers in Boot Camp 4.x
