Bootcamp support software for A1502 (EMC 2835)

Hi Folks,


I'm looking for the bootcamp support software for a Macbook Pro A1502 (EMC 2835)


I tried downloading 5.1.5621 and 5.1.5722 but both said they were not compatible with this computer.


PS. This is for Window 10 btw.


I know the other support links want me to boot OSX and use the crap tools that dont work, but yeah, looking for a KB article or direct download please.


Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Windows 10

BC5.x drivers are meant for W7/W8.1. They will not work on W10.


Assuming you have an early 13-in 2015 MBP (based on this link). Your choices are,


1. Use Brigadier (https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier) on the OS X side.

2. Use Apple Software Update on the Windows side.

3. Use OS X BC Assistant and Menu Bar -> Action -> Download...

If you are using a wireless connection, the 'crap' tools like BC Assistant work much better on a wired connection.

Try it. 😉
