Did you try

You should also run Apple Software Update on the Windows side.

I know it's blasphemy, but my accountant has a MacBook pro and It only wants/needs Windows 10.

I've installed Windows 10 directly and... no touchpad support, nu right click, no scroll.

Boot Camp 6 for Windows 10 (1.2 Gb)

On the same model Mac, in the US, I can download BC 6 drivers. This is from Bootcamp.xml in the Bootcamp folder on the USB created by BC Assistant.

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>6.0.6133</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>

I had to modify the USB, because Apple includes an unsigned driver AppleSSD.sys which causes Windows 7/8/10 installations to fail. The modified USB file structure looks like the following.

Is this the Bootcamp Assistant version? Can you check the App Store for any pending Software Updates on the OSX side? Which specific version of Yosemite (10.10.?) do you currently have?

Click on About This Mac -> App Store and click on Check for Updates.

After it updates, run BC Assistant, click only on the Download Software option and check Bootcamp.xml for the version and look at the snippet of the XML i posted as reference.

Downloaded drivers moments ago via Boot Camp Assistant on updated OS x 10.10.5

No version 6. This is 5.1.5621 according to the XML file:

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>5.1.5621</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FA2B2C2A-EA41-495A-9308-60726125D562}</ProductCode>

Where is version 6??

AppStore does not offer any updates after 10.10.5 Combined update.

In the US, BCA downloads the following version for a 13-in 2012 MBP.

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>6.0.6133</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>

and the modified USB with the Installer looks like..

If W10 upgrade is in place, you can also get BC 6 drivers from Apple Software Update as shown...

After reading this string, I cannot find any offer to download BC 6 in the Windows Apple Software Updater! On the Mac side I am running a fully updated Mac OS X 10.10.4 install and Apple Store updates does not download BC 6 either. As noted by others, the Apple Support page for Boot Camp only offers 5.1.5126. So how do I get Boot Camp Assistant version 6? My Win 10 install seems to work fine but has problems with Shadow Copy and cannot make backups or create restore points. I was hoping that the Boot Camp update would resolve this problem.

The way I did it was I opened Bootcamp Assistant, clicked Continue; then checked JUST the middle box that downloads the Bootcamp software/drivers. I used an 8GB USB drive formatted as MS DOS. I then looked at the Bootcamp.xml file (Loner T's 1st post) to see the version that downloaded and it was version 6.

You cannot download Bootcamp6 as such. When you have installed the Bootcamp Partition Windows 10, and there are other drivers needed, it will say so and you are able to download "bootcamp6" within the windows partition ! When you do not need those drivers you cannot download "bootcamp6". ! So do not worry when the Windows partition does not ask for it !

It is not a newer version of Bootcamp Assistant. It is a set of drivers.
