What drivers do I use when installing windows 7 on macbook pro late 2013?

I purchased a new macbook pro from bestbuy. I would like to install windows 7 using bootcamp. Now I have read online that macs come with a driver cd well mine didn't and I got it new in sealed apple box..

What or how can I go about getting windows 7 to fully work on bootcamp.. I've yet to try to install windows 7 yet beacuse I am lost when it comes to this cd and the drivers...

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Where can I get the Windows Support Software (Windows drivers)?

Use Boot Camp Assistant to automatically download the software for your Mac and the versions of OS X and Windows you are using. Refer to System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems for more information.

See -> http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1636/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_ 10.8.pdf.

In addition to the Windows disc (or USB flash drive with the Windows installer) you'll need a 8GB+ flash drive.

The referenced manual - on page 3, I think, gives you a run-down of what you'll need before you begin the installation. You may also want to post any further Boot Camp questions in the Boot Camp forum -> https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp.

Good luck,

Clinton

Google, you need v5640 but when you start boot camp assistant, it will download them for you. This is easier to see once you're actually trying to install windows.
