Windows 10 on a Macbook Pro 2011?

I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro, which according to Apple does NOT support Windows 10 under Boot Camp.


Despite this, my Windows 7 installation reports that my computer is ready to update and the only incompatibility will be Bluetooth, which won't work. Has anyone tried this? Any issues? Am I asking for trouble if I give it a go?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Give it a go. Apple has not put this in a list, because they do not have certified BC6 drivers for your hardware. You can use generic drivers instead.

Did you run the Boot Camp update? It didn't work for me, but may do for you.


Have you checked Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs and tried updating drivers there?


Also, in the Boot Camp update Bootcamp / Drivers folder there are drivers for Cirrus, which you could try running manually, as Loner T advised me to do with the keyboard one. This assumes your Macbook has Cirrus Logic audio, as mine has.
