Q: Bootcamp support files on imac 27 5k late 2014

Hi there everyone,

 

Been trying to install windows 7 by iso file on my 5k late 2014 imac.

 

After hdd is rebooted and logging in to windows 7 installation screen, i was not able to continue the progress due to '' can't  find the drivers'' error.

And each time i try a new solution, i have to format my usb hard drive, and bootcamp is downloading files from internet again, therefore alot of time goes by.

 

I would like to ask if its not possible for me to download support files manually on apple's site? I could not find any manual downloads for that.

 

Any help will be Appreciated.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    There is no supported method of downloading drivers, unlike other models. The BC Drivers are 5.1.5766.

     

    Build a USB with ISO/BC drivers once, by unchecking the last "Install/Remove Windows..." and re-use the same USB multiple times. Please use a USB2 device, not a USB3 device. USB3 causes problems, due to lack support built into the Windows installer for USB3 devices.
