Windows 10 BootCamp - FN Key Not Working

Question

Windows 10 BootCamp - FN Key Not Working

Dear Loner T

Help please!

I have the same problem. Win 7 upgraded with Win 10 through BootCamp + OSX Yosemite. I downloaded BCA 5 in OSX, unzipped and copied the BootCamp folder to a USD stick. In Windows double-clicked SetUp folder on USB stick but get the error message:

"The $WinPEDriver$ was not found. Please verify the folder $WinPEDriver$ is in the same location as the BootCamp folder and try the installation again."

I can't find any reference to $WinPEDriver$ anywhere.....am I doing something wrong? I also copied the BootCamp folder to the BOOTCAMP (C:) root partition and the same happens. Did I do something wrong when I originally installed Win 7?

Grateful, please for your urgent help.

cheers

Can you post a new discussion? It seems that the setup.exe being used is the Windows installer rather than the Bootcamp Installer?

1. How was BCA5 downloaded? Can you provide a link?

2. What is the exact year/model of your Mac? Please do not post your Mac's serial number in text or as a screen shot.

Hi

I used the Link you gave to another User, being System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support.and chose the option

MacBook Pro
(13-inch, Early 2011)

5

The model is Early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" running OSX Yosemite and Windows 10 through BootCamp installed Windows 7 Home Premium. All working well except this issue.

Hope this helps you.

thanks

Do you have a Keyboard tab in Control Panel -> System -> Boot Camp?

in Microsoft there is no Keyboard Tab within - Control Panel

- System

but in OSX Accessibility, Yes.

I'm a MS User and never had Apple until now. I gave up on MS machines for being pretty useless so now use MB Pro which is a far superior machine and essentially windows only. If we talk OSX you'll have to guide me through or wait until my son-in-law gets here in a couple of hours time who is a professional OSX User. Sorry for being a pain but I only know the Apple basics really.

Click on the Keyboard Tab and check what the setting is.

Success. Downloaded again but this time in Windows, not in OSX as instructed. Whether or not the $WinPEDriver$ was corrupted or I just missed it when copying to Windows is a mystery. Anyway, instead of running the setup.exe file [it kept hanging at different points until I forced closure of that respective program] I just chose the option ....BootCamp/Drivers/apple/Apple Keyboard....worked instantly.

Hope this helps others and thanks for your help.

cheers
