I have installed Windows 10 via Boot Camp on my iMac with iOS Sierra. My Apple Trackpad works perfectly on the iOS side, but cannot be installed on Windows 10. It asks for a "passcode" which should be on the device or in the literature of the device, however, there is none in either. Right now I am using a wireless mouse with Windows 10, but I would prefer to use my Trackpad. Any suggestions?
iMac, iOS 10.2.1
We are having SUCCESS! I don't know what you mean by running SMC/NVRM Reset, so I have not done it yet.
I did do your first action and Disabled the Bluetooth Collaboration.
Now the Trackpad reacts to my finger movement (one for pointer movement and two fingers for scrolling), although the touch is not working (I have to click the Trackpad for activation).
Under Settings - Devices > Connected devices it shows:
Facetime HD Camera, HP Wireless Keyboard Kit (don't know where that is), USB Input Device, USB Input Device (Wireless Mouse).
Under Settings - Devices > Blue Tooth it shows:
Apple Wireless Keyboard - Connected
Fred's Trackpad - Connected
Unknown - Ready to pair
Unknown - Ready to pair
What should I do now? Run the SMC/NVRM Reset? (Don't know how).
Should I Enable the Bluetooth Collaboration again or leave it disabled?
Can the Trackpad touch command be enabled?
The two reset procedures are
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
Leave the BT Collaboration disabled temporarily, till all functions work correctly. Is there a Trackpad tab in the Boot Camp Control Panel? The following is from a W8.1 Mac.
The Trackpad seems to have been configured as a Keyboard during the driver installation. Can you uninstall the driver, remove the device, scan for hardware changes and try to re-install the driver for the Trackpad? What is the year/model of your iMac?
I have downloaded the apple drivers as you suggested and reinstalled them, including Boot Camp.msi, Apple Software update.msi, Apple Wireless Trackpad.exe
I am still having the same problem: Under Settings, Blue Tooth Devices, the PC is searching but cannot find the trackpad. When I click on it I am asked to enter a "Passcode". It does not pair.
Is it currently paired to the OS X side as well? If yes, unpair it from OS X side, leaving it completely unpaired and try to pair it to Windows first. A trackpad does not generate a passcode, but a Keyboard does.
Unfortunately no luck either. I have disconnected the Track Pad from the OS X side and then back to Windows 10 under Settings, Blue Tooth Devices, it now shows the Apple Wireless Trackpad and "ready to pair", but when I click the "Pair" tab nothing happens. It does not pair!

Run SMC/NVRAM Reset after each attempt. Do not pair the trackpad till we get Windows to work properly.
Try both
Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter > Right click and Select Properties > Advanced Tab > Bluetooth Collaboration > Disable
and
Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter > Right click and Select Properties > Advanced Tab > Bluetooth Collaboration > Enable
It's working! Problem is solved. I checked the one and two finger controls in the Boot Camp Control Panel Track Pad Tab and the touch commands are working just like with OS X.
I have also run the SMC/NVRM Resets. Everything seems to be ok.
What should I do now with the Bluetooth Collaboration? Leave it disable or enable it?
Check under Keyboard. You can get al the drivers using BC Assistant.
my iMac is a 21.5 in. Late 2012 model. I don't know how to identify the driver you mentioned or how to find the driver for the Trackpad.
In Windows Device Manager, look under HID for entries with Apple drivers.
The only Apple driver it shows is the Apple Keyboard. How do I get an Apple Trackpad driver?
Yes it is paired and works perfectly on the OS X side. I will do as you recommended and let you know.
