Thanks anyway.

Aug 22, 2015 8:56 AM in response to duds60by Loner T,Can you post the version information from Bootcamp.xml on your USB? If you have W10, BC6 drivers need to be used, which the BC Assistant will download.
If you have a W7/W8 and then you will need to look for drivers from the following links.
Windows 7 - System requirements to install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support
Windows 8 - Use Windows 8.1 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support

Aug 22, 2015 9:29 AM in response to Loner Tby duds60,I have Windows 8.1 and now understand that I need BC6 drivers to update to Windows 10. Unfortunately I'm not in the US and as I have read that these drivers will only be available in other countries in due course I guess I'll have to wait until they get here. Nevertheless I'm still trying and am currently using BC Assistant to download the latest Windows support software but it seems that I will only know the version that has been downloaded after the download is complete. Hopefully it will be one that works.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to acquire the version information from Bootcamp.xml on my USB.
Thanks again for your help and now I'm going to give it a rest for the day. Maybe I'll battle on again tomorrow.
Cheers

Aug 22, 2015 9:39 AM in response to duds60by Loner T,Find Bootcamp.xml of your USB and open it using TextEdit. Please look for the following lines.
<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>
<ProductVersion>6.0.6133</ProductVersion>
<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>
You can also get BC 6 drivers after W10 in installed by running Apple Software Update.
