Macbook pro 2010 windows 10 drivers

Part A: Create Bootable Windows 10 USB Drive

There are plenty of tutorials available online for this step…

Use this one for OS X

Here’s one using Windows:

1. Download the Windows 10 ISO from Microsoft

2. Download Rufus

3. Install & Use the tool with the ISO (Pretty obvious eh?) and use FAT32 formatting with GPT for UEFI based systems in the dropdown.

Part B: Partition HDD/SSD for Windows 10 using Disk Utility

1. Open Disk Utility and select the disk on the sidebar (Select the disk and not the partition)

2. Click on the Partition Tab and then the ‘+’ icon

3. Create a new partition with any name & size (preferably >30GB) and format it to FAT32

4. Click Apply and wait for changes to take effect

5. Close Disk Utility

Part C: Install rEFInd

Note: This is done to support booting from USB Drives on old MB/MBP…

1. Download rEFInd

2. Extract the zip file

3. Open Terminal App

4. CD to the extracted folder’s location (Google how to use CD commands)

5. Type «./install.sh» without the quotation marks

6. Enter password

7. Run the command on step 5 again!!! (Sometimes it doesn’t work on the first go…)

8. Quit Terminal App and Shut Down your MB/MBP

Part D: Install Windows 10

1. When you boot, you’ll see rEFInd window instead

2. You’ll be presented with the option to boot from USB drive…

3. Select the right-most option! (The one with USB thumbnail! Select the 2nd one if 2 USB thumbnail options are available…)

4. Install Windows 10 (Same as the installation for Windows 8/8.1)

5. Your MB/MBP will reboot… Select the Windows Icon with Hard Disk thumbnail this time!!!

6. Installation will proceed…

Part E: Downloading Boot Camp Drivers

After Windows 10 is up and running:

1. Download Boot Camp 5.1.5722 Drivers

2. Extract the Drivers on the Desktop…

3. Run CMD or PowerShell as administrator (Use the combination Shift + fn + F10 for right-click)

4. CD into BootCamp5.1.5722/BootCamp/Drivers/Apple

5. Run ‘BootCamp.msi’

Note: We are using CMD/PowerShell to bypass Elevated Permissions for MSI Installer

Et Voila!!! All drivers will install automatically via Boot Camp…

Latest and compatible NVIDIA and ATI drivers will automatically get installed via Windows Update!

Optional

Part E: Bypass rEFInd boot screen

1. Boot to OS X

2. Go to System Preferences

3. Select Startup Disk

4. Select BOOTCAMP or Macintosh HD (or whatever your OS X partition is named)

5. Click Restart

Hi I recently?succeed to resolve this problem! and sharing it here

My system is mbp 6,2 (mid 2010 i5)/ nvidia gt330m/ osx highsierra, windows10 (efi?booting)

It may be? LVDS problem?(https://www.mail-archive.com/intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org/msg01337.html)

So I decided disable IntelHD Graphics when booting.

1. Install GRUB2 on EFI partition

2. Install reFind
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/

3. reboot select grub > select Windows10

this is how I disable IntelHD vga
