Windows 8 MacBook Pro Drivers

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch Early 2015 model with El Captain installed on it. I'm having problems with the drivers that I need to run Windows 8 properly. I've used Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows, but it didn't download the drivers it gave me an error then aborted the install. Well during it aborting the install I actually closed it by mistake. Surprisingly the partition that it made was still there. Then I booted into the Windows installer and installed Windows with no errors. But now I need the drivers for my MacBook Pro (Obviously I don't have them.) I am able to run Windows fine, just messed up resolution and no WiFi connectivity.


Hope someone has the correct drivers for my mac.


Thanks, ~ Nathan

As a test, can you download https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier and run it to download drivers for your specific Mac model identifier? The Model identifier (-m qualifier) can be found by using About This Mac -> System Report -> Hardware.


Here is an example.


./brigadier -h

Usage: brigadier [options]


Options:

-h, --help show this help message and exit

-m MODEL, --model=MODEL

System model identifier to use (otherwise this

machine's model is used). This can be specified

multiple times to download multiple models in a single

run.

-i, --install After the installer is downloaded, perform the install

automatically. Can be used on Windows only.

-o OUTPUT_DIR, --output-dir=OUTPUT_DIR

Base path where the installer files will be extracted

into a folder named after the product, ie.

'BootCamp-041-1234'. Uses the current directory if

this option is omitted.

-k, --keep-files Keep the files that were downloaded/extracted. Useful

only with the '--install' option on Windows.

-p PRODUCT_ID, --product-id=PRODUCT_ID

Specify an exact product ID to download (ie.

'031-0787'), currently useful only for cases where a

model has multiple BootCamp ESDs available and is not

downloading the desired version according to the post

date.

-rMBP:brigadier-master MyName$ ./brigadier -m iMac17,1 -o Bootcamp-iMac17.1

Using Mac model: iMac17,1.
