How do I get bootcamp 6.1 / AMD 15.201.2001.0 drivers

I'm running an iMac 5k with a AMD 295.

I previously had the latest AMD drivers installed from October

AMD Radeon R9 M295

Driver version: 15.201.2001.0

Driver date: 10/5/2015

But then I experimented with other drivers and now I can't get Apple Update to send me it's latest drivers again. I've tried uninstall the drivers, I've reinstalling apple update, etc etc. I've tried using bootcamp assistant but it keeps giving me the older drivers from August.

Perhaps apple stored the previous driver in a directory I don't know about or maybe someone happens to have the drivers somewhere on their system that I can use? Please don't tell me to reinstall windows.

Thanks!

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi guys....

Problem solved for me... Right from the beginning ... Hardware problem. Apple did'nt want to understand. They didn t fix the problem for many users ... I asked the motherboard replacement . They did now its works.

Hello!

I need those drivers too, because I have only Windows 8.1 and the new one with 5k Support does only work with Windows 10!

As I initially installed Win8.1 (64bit) in December 2015, I got those 5k capable drivers with the Apple Software Update. But because of a problem, I had to reinstall Windows. Now the drivers seem to be silently removed, which I could not expect. Please, I need help! Why does Apple and ATI want me to upgrade to Windows 10, which is not a free upgrade anymore, because I missed the free upgrade peroid.

The exact driver version was:

15.201.2001-15005a-295390C

Is there finally a way to get it back?! Thanks so much for any help!

Did you create Windows System Restore point prior to your driver experiments?

Can you use https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730875.aspx and remove all AMD drivers from the driver store and then use BC Assistant to download the appropriate driver?

Can you check Bootcamp.xml for the version noted for the AMD drivers?

This needs to be run on the OS X side and it is a python script. Please use -m iMac17,1 if you want the correct drivers. iMac15,1 will keep giving you what you already have and it is not very useful.
