I have looked for a while now. I have found a download page here:

  1. How to download Bootcamp drivers without Bootcamp assistant? Ask Question Asked 8 years. And look in the Hardware Overview section. Click Apple menu - About this Mac - More Info - Report - Hardware - and now read down the Hardware Overview looking for “Model Identifier:”. Boot Camp Software Update 3.3 for Windows' is.
  2. Boot Camp Assistant is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.' S macOS (previously OS X) that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. The utility guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ or APFS partition, if necessary) of their hard disk drive or solid state drive.
  3. Aug 19, 2019  If you don't know which driver you need to install, it's better to take help of a good driver updater tool such as FixBit. If you are unable to download Boot Camp drivers on your Mac computer for some reason or want to download Boot Camp on a Windows PC, you can use a third-party tool.
  4. Oct 12, 2010  To make sure you have the drivers that are most current for XP SP3, Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit go to the Apple Boot Camp Support page and download the Boot Camp 2.1 package (which is only drivers with an installer) on the right hand side of the page. Be sure to pick the version of the package appropriate for your version of Windows.

Aug 13, 2019  When you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp Assistant automatically opens the Boot Camp installer, which installs the latest Windows support software (drivers).If that doesn't happen, or you experience any of the following issues while using Windows on.


The latest date on anything I can find here is from 2015.


Another page directs me to use the boot camp assistant, but it requires that I have a thumb drive (ready to be reformatted), and I must reboot into MacOS I'm not going to do that. In anticipation to some responses, we can argue about it if you want but it'll be a waste of energy.


Many other situations would involve going to a web page and downloading an installer so I'm asking here for what I'm missing.


Thank you for responses that stick to the point and answer the question.


I felt like showing a bit more of the process:

1) 'install Windows on a Mac with Boot Camp Assistant' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201468

Ok this looks useful but the process is written for a fresh format and install of Windows.

Here's a link for:

2) 'If the Boot Camp Installer Doesn't Open..' https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208495

Ok that's cool now I know I'm looking for some 'Boot Camp Installer' that needs to run on my Windows side

3) But of course there's no link to a 'Boot Camp Installer' I needed to use the Assistant from the MacOS side and the thumb drive.

4) Wait wait, here's a section called 'If you can't download or save the Windows support software:'

Oh, but this section just troubleshoots problems you have with formatting your USB drive and with USB drive recommendations.


I don't know why it's like this. Any other system would just have an installer and even an update agent for download. Is apple protecting IP and software licenses. Possible. Are they keeping users from downloading the wrong versions of stuff? Possible but there are other ways to do that.

Microsoft has put Windows 10 updates for Mac on “temporary hold” for older machines, or those running older versions of Boot Camp.

Windows Latest reports that it affects pre-2012 Macs:

Earlier today, Microsoft announced that it has blocked the Windows 10 version 1903 update on older Mac devices or newer Mac with outdated Apple Boot Camp software. This move affects Windows 10 owners who have installed the operating system on a Mac device introduced before 2012 or those who use outdated Boot Camp software on their new devices.

The hold is due to an unspecified compatibility problem.

Microsoft says affected users may experience an update compatibility hold and receive the message “Mac HAL Driver — machaldriver.sys: Your PC has a driver or service that isn’t ready for this version of Windows 10.”

HAL is a Hardware Abstraction Layer, which is code that sits between hardware drivers — like those for audio — and applications. Effectively, this acts as an interface between Windows apps and the Mac hardware.

The Microsoft support document specifies the relevant versions of the file, and suggests for later Macs that updating Boot Camp may solve the problem:

Specifically, devices with MacHALDriver.sys dated September 24, 2011 01:57:09 or older in Windowssystem32drivers are affected.
