    Not sure what you mean by "a windows support software" -- e.g., the ability to run Windows or Windows programs on the Air or the ability to support Windows computers from the Air (e.g., Teamviewer) or what?

    What exactly do you mean by "Windows support software" .

     

    Do you want to run Windows applications?  Windows itself?

     

    What is it you want to accomplish?

    Apple gives now gives the opportunity to install Windows on MacBook Air through Bootcamp Assistant. But one needs a 'windows support software' from Apple in addition to the Windows ISO software that one downloads from Microsoft. From my search, I now could only see the ones they made for 2013 and earlier versions of MacBook Air and I don't know when they'll roll out one for the latest version. Thanks

    Again, what do you mean by a Windows Support Software?

     

    Bootcamp will allow you to install Windows on a Mac. Beyond that what else do you need?

     

    The instructions don't mention anything about Support Software.

    How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support

     

    For All intents and purposes Bootcamp is the software that supports Windows installations.
