Hi!

Will Windows 10 install normally on a Boot Camp partition?

It depends on your Mac. BC Assistant does not yet support W10. W8.1 drivers should work. A better approach might be to install W8.1 and then upgrade to W10.

This helped me.

Does anyone know when Apple will make Windows 10 drivers available?
