Q: Boot camp (Win 7) and USB 3.0: Drivers provided by Apple still don't let me use my 3.0 ports on my Mac Pro (5.1)
Hey all,
Having an issue here and would love any help.
I really do understand this is an Apple sub and I apologise if this is inappropriate to post, but I was wondering if anyone else had this same problem as me.
I've installed Windows 7 on my Mac Pro 5.1 Early 2009 and I've then installed the drivers Apple provide for using Windows. It all installs fine but for some reason none of my USB 3.0 ports work, even though in the Apple drivers installation I clearly saw a 3.0 driver being installed (Intel). I've noticed on my Device Manager that there's a yellow flag (I've attached a photo) in device manager. When I try to update that driver using the internet, it says Windows can't find it, and when I try to point the driver to my USB stick it says it can't find it either.
Would love any advice about this if someone has any, thanks a lot
Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
