Open an elevated command prompt (click Start, type 'cmd', then right-click and run as Administrator), go to the the BootCamp Drivers Apple directory, then run this: msiexec /i BootCamp64.msi NOCHECK=1. I was able to install Boot Camp (and its drivers) under x64 Windows 7 on my 2007 Mac Pro (macpro2,1) this way. Jun 13, 2019  The Boot camp drivers support in windows 64-bit versions and also you can get help through the official servers. Read the downloading the steps below to get more information about this installation on your system.

• Apple Boot Camp Drivers

Downloading Boot Camp support software or Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 on a Mac is easy. You can use the built-in Boot Camp Assistant software to get the latest version of Boot Camp drivers.

What if you need to download Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 without the help of Boot Camp Assistant software? For instance, you might want to install Boot Camp drivers on a Mac computer where Windows 10 is the only operating system. As you likely know, Boot Camp support software are not no longer available for direct download from Apple website.

Brigadier is a free utility developed to enable you download Boot Camp drivers or support software without having to open Boot Camp Assistant. In short, with Brigadier tool, you can download Boot Camp drivers on Windows 10 running on Mac.

The beauty of Brigadier is that it downloads all drivers right from Apple servers. So, you get original Boot Camp drivers right from Apple.

The Boot Camp drivers pack for Windows 10 includes device drivers for camera, graphics, keyboard, trackpad, card reader, wireless mouse and wireless trackpad.

According to the developer, Brigadier downloads and unpacks ESD that applies to the Mac model on which you run this tool. The tool uses 7-Zip software to extract the ESD. If 7-Zip is not found, it will automatically download the same and will remove the same after extracting the ESD.

The free tool offers a few command-line options as well. Check the download link for available command-link options.

Download Boot Camp support drivers without Boot Camp Assistant

Here is how to use Brigadier utility to download Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10.

NOTE: The program doesn’t seem to work if you run it on a PC. You must run it on Windows 10 running on a Mac computer to download the required Boot Camp drivers.

Step 1: Visit the official page of Brigadier and download the latest version of the executable.

Step 2: Run Brigadier. You will see a Command Prompt window upon running the tool. The Command Prompt window, as you can see in the picture, displays all the information about the Boot Camp support software download, including the download progress.

The tool runs in the background, downloads necessary Boot Camp drivers and same them in the same location where Brigadier executable is located.

The best part is that this tool will automatically detect your Mac model and download the right Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 running on your Mac, just like the Boot Camp Assistant software.

Classic Mac Pro 5,1 (or simply cMP, also 4,1 upgraded to 5,1) is now considered by Apple as vintage. It’s pretty disappointing considering how capable and upgradable these machines still are. Installing Windows is no longer officially supported, but it’s completely possible though not quite easy.

Another challenge is that macOS Mojave 10.14 now implies using Metal-capable GPU while most of them are not able to display Apple boot menu (which you normally see holding the Option key) required to boot into Windows. Basicaly your screenremains black until macOS is loaded. Well, some EFI bootable cards that support boot menu exist but they are released almost 10 years ago and are really outdated. What is more, none of them supports displaying of boot menu with 4k 60hz monitor connected.

This guide is for those who want macOS Mojave + Windows 10 + modern GPU (in our case Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB).

Installing Windows 10 in 5 steps

It’s supposed that you have the latest Boot ROM version 144.0.0.0.0. If not, please update first.

Step 1: Use separate drive for Windows

Boot Camp Assistant no longer supports cMP and doesn’t allow creating a separate partition for Windows.Windows has to be installed on a separate drive, which is good actually to avoid messing with partitions in future.

We recommend using the internal SATA II connector in one of four drive bays or alternatively one of two SATA II connectors in the optical drive area. Using the HP 654540-001 3.5” → 2.5” adapter (7$) to place 2.5” SSD in a drive bay can be quite convenient.

Of cause, SATA II (up to 300MB/s) is a bottleneck for modern 2.5” SSDs (up to 550 MB/s where SATA III is preferable) but real life experience shows that the difference is hardly noticable unless you deal with lots of big files (e.g. >1GB where sequential read/write speeds matter) on your system drive.

We didn’t test using PCIe → SATA III adapter or PCIe → NVMe adapter for Windows partition. Many users people reported it was not possible in their case. If you successfully did it please let us know in the comments below or via e-mail.

Step 2: Create a bootable Windows 10 DVD disk

Warning: DO NOT install Windows from a USB flash drive. It has been discovered that Windows when installed in EFI mode is corrupting the Mac Pro’s firmware by signing it with multiple Secure Boot (X.509) certificates. Also, you wouldn’t be able to boot into Windows after selecting its drive as bootable in macOS Preferences → Startup disk. Therefore Windows should only be installed in Legacy BIOS mode from an optical drive.

Make sure that your Windows 10 ISO file fits on the DVD disk, in our case we had to burn Windows 10 1803 ISO (64-bit) to a single-layer DVD+R disc 4.7GB.

Burning a DVD disk under macOS can be done with the following Terminal command:

On Windows we recommend using the free ImgBurn app.

Windows 7 is still considered to be the most popular operating system even after successful release of windows 8 and windows 10 by Microsoft. Windows 7 is mostly used by universities, firms, offices and organizations as it is best professional operating system available.

Step 3: Boot from your Windows 10 DVD disk

Turn on your mac while holding the “C” key to boot from the optical disk (if you have PCIe drives installed and can’t boot from the disc, remove those PCIe adapters).Proceed with installation normally until you see the “Where do you want to install Windows” drive selection screen.

Step 4: Format the target drive

Press Shift+F10 to launch command prompt. Type the following commands:

Now make sure to select the correct target drive number N (NOT your macOS disk), after that type:

You should now see your drive as Unallocated space.

Press the “New” button to create necessary partitions. There should be only two partitions (for legacy installation, EFI mode creates four) automatically created:

Select the newly created partition 2 and continue with installation normally. Your mac will be rebooted twice.Every reboot do not forget entering the boot menu (by holding the Option key) and selecting ‘Windows’ boot drive there. When finished, boot into Windows.

Step 5: Install Windows drivers and Boot Camp utility

Windows 10 installs all necessary drivers automatically except Bluetooth and internal speaker. These need to be installed from the original Boot Camp package for MacPro5,1.Download and install 7zip, download Brigadier 0.2.4 app, open Windows command prompt where Brigadier is located and type:

When finished, it will create a folder BootCamp-031-11269, you need to install these for Bluetooth and internal speaker correspondingly, make sure you run the command prompt as administrator:

Now we need newer BootCamp drivers intended for iMacPro1,1:

When finished, it will create a folder BootCamp-041-55643, you need to run this command:

When finished, reboot. We also recommend running Apple Software Update to update Wifi drivers:

You probably don’t want to forget installing our awesome Macs Fan Control app, do you? :)

Switching between macOS Mojave & Windows

When you’re in macOS, use Preferences → Startup disk to select a boot drive:

When you’re in Windows, use the Boot Camp Control Panel from your Windows tray to select a boot drive:
