Q: Upgrading Bootcamp 10.6->10.8

I have recently upgrade my laptop from 10.6 to 10.8. I have Win7-64 installed on 10.6 via bootcamp3. I'd like to upgrade it all to bootcamp5, but I'm not sure the best way to go about that. what do I need to do? Do I need to do anything on the mac side, or is it good enough to just upgrade the drivers on win7 and call it a day? If so what would be the procedure for that?

Hello Dewdman42,

It sounds like you recently upgraded to Mountain Lion on your Mac partition, and you would like to update your Windows partition as well. If you meet the system requirements in the following article (specifically in the section titled "Boot Camp requirements by Mac model," all you will need to do is download and install the newest drivers:
