Q: How do I update my AMD drivers on bootcamp to the newest (Crimson Edition) drivers?

I am trying to update my AMD drivers to the Crimson Edition so that I am able to play some of the newer games as they require these drivers. Upon clicking the automatic driver update option through device management, it always says that I have the newest drivers installed. I have tried to update them through AMD's software support site but whenever I launch the official update exe it fails and I get a dialog box that reads something along the lines of "No AMD hardware was detected." I have already attempted to wipe all the drivers using the DDU program as well as a partially signed update package through bootcampdrivers.com but that is not working for me either.

    The Apple versions of AMD GPUs are different, which the stock WHQL drivers will not recognize. Unless you have a specific issue, or need the latest drivers for gaming, I suggest staying with the Bootcamp-supplied drivers.
