Q: How to install necessary drivers for mac mini running windows 7

I've recently installed Windows 7 on a late 2012 Mac mini,, and it won't connect to the internet because it needs some drivers. I followed the instructions, downloaded everything I was supposed to and it doesn't work. Is there a way I can download them to a usb and install them? I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times.

    Wow you mean you haven't downloaded the files. You stated that you had and tried to install from a usb? You mean you haven't. Have you read any thing that was posted here? Loner T even posted a link showing you how to proceed.

    Bootcamp assistant itself was installed before I got the computer. I'm going to download the bootcamp files and see if that works!

    BC Assistant is part of OS X and is installed in Applications -> Utilities -> Bootcamp Assistant.

     

    BC Drivers are applied to the Windows side. They can be downloaded using BC Assistant on the OS X side to a USB device (preferably a flash drive).

     

    They have two independent minor versions, but will have the same major version (5.x, 6.x, etc.) . The link I posted  refers to BC Drivers version 5.1.5621 not BCA 5.1.4.
