No audio in windows 10

Ok here is a good one.

I am building some MacBooks with windows only for a few friends.

I am doing A1278 versions.

I am maxing out the Ram and installing an SSD in as well for them.

So i used the factory HD to make sure windows 10 would install correctly and work correctly. This was on a A1278 with 2.4 core 2 duo. Nvidia chipset graphics. I installed boot camp and everything works correctly. So i pulled out that HD and swapped in an SSD and installed windows with bootcamp and done all good.

I got a 2nd A1278 with 2.3 i5 processor intel chipset graphics. I put that same test HD in with windows 10 on it and it installed everything correctly and everything worked with that mac's version of bootcamp. The sound works correctly.

So I installed an SSD and installed windows 10 on it. And I cannot figure out how to get the audio to work at all. I keep getting fault code 10. I have tried everything i know and I can't get it to work at all. And i know its not a hardware issue. I can't figure out how to get the right drivers on there for it to install correctly.

What can i do to fix this issue.

It's not a bios issue. It's a driver problem. It works fine with one hard drive and not the other so it's deff a software issue.

Ok I will have to check it tonight. Is that a program I d/l or just a process I run through the command prompt?

Click on Start -> Run -> msinfo32 . It should show you the System Information window.

I just checked the other HD and it is in Legacy mode.

How do i do that exactly without using OS X

If you choose the Windows icon after using Alt/Option and your disk is an MBR disk, then your installation is BIOS, otherwise you may see formatting or partitioning issues or installation errors.
