Boot camp v.6.0 error.

I updated my Boot camp to v.6.0 on my Mid 2012 13" Macbook pro. After that i updated my Windows 10 to the latest version using windows updater. Normally when i update my Windows to a newer version using the updater, Boot camp fails to work and i have to reinstall the whole boot camp. Not a problem. But Apple seems to have forgotten to put their Boot camp version 6.0 on their manual download site. So i cannot fix this bug since Apple won't allow you to install any lower versions on the Macbook.

MacBook Pro, Other OS, Windows 10 Pro

I noticed that as well. But i do not want to Boot into Mac OS x again and download it to my USB. I'd like to download it off their site so i can install it directly.

That article provides these instruction that seem to apply to your situation:

Upgrading from 64-bit versions of Windows

You can upgrade existing 64-bit installations of Windows 7, or 8.1 to Windows 10. You need at least 10 GB of free space on your Windows partition. If you have Windows 8.0, update to Windows 8.1 before upgrading to Windows 10.

Use the list at the end of this article to make sure you have a Mac that supports Windows 10.

Start your Mac from OS X.

When your Mac desktop appears, choose App Store from the Apple menu. Click the Updates tab in the App Store window to check for software updates. Make sure OS X and your Mac firmware are up to date.

Start your Mac from the version of Windows you currently have installed.

Open Apple Software Update for Windows and install available updates, including the FaceTime Camera Update.

Use the Windows installer to upgrade Windows.

After installation is complete, open Apple Software Update for Windows again and install available updates to make sure the Windows Support Software (drivers) for Boot Camp are up to date. As part of driver installation, your Mac might restart one or more times.

After driver installation is complete, log in to Windows to begin using Windows 10 on your Mac.
