Q: windows 10 in bootcamp

My wife has a MacBook Pro and has been running Windows 7 Home Premium for many years for one task at work. Today when she tried to log into the Boot Camp partition and Windows 7 a series of updates attempted to install and crashed the log in. We tried to re-start in Safe Mode, and seem to be in an update loop. Is this a Windows 10 issue? Any assistance is appreciated. She is running Yosemite and has not changed anything recently. The last log in attempt had been July 20.

    It can't be a Windows10 issue unless she upgraded to Windows 10. Boot Camp does not yet support Windows 10. No drivers.

    Thanks, we were able to get into the Boot Camp partition after multiple re-boots and saw that several updates that were trying to install had failed. After several tries the partition opened up and we were able to revert and turn off auto updates and are now successfully into the partition. We do still have several updates to install. :-(

     

    I was afraid that Windows 10 might be being pushed to all Windows 7 users and therfore creating the problem due to what you (Bob) mentoned about not supporting Windows 10, which I knew.
