Windows on Macbook Pro using Bootcamp

Hi,

You need support software (drivers) installed with Boot Camp to use Windows 10. This software is automatically downloaded when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Boot Camp supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro when used with a supported
Mac. Here are the list that supports Windows 10:

• MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
• MacBook Air (2012 and later)
• MacBook (2015 and later)
• iMac Pro (2017)iMac (2012 and later)
• Mac mini (2012 and later)
• Mac mini Server (Late 2012)
• Mac Pro (Late 2013)

We also suggest that you check and follow the steps shared by Andre Da Costa on this
thread on how to setup Windows 10 on your Mac using Boot Camp.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Apple Macbook Bootcamp Bluetooth Mouse Issue Windows 10

Hi,

I'm having issues getting my bluetooth mouse paired to my 2016 Macbook Pro running Windows 10 on bootcamp. The mouse is brand new and works perfectly on the other halves Macbook.

The windows 10 install via Bootcamp was smooth with no issues, all installed correctly.

The issue is the mouse will connect via bluetooth no problem, and once paired, I can use the mouse as long as i want if i keep moving the mouse. Soon as I stop moving the mouse for longer than a second the mouse will no longer work and I have to unpair and
repair to get it working again.

I have done lots of research but cannot find much with the same issue, I have tried the following:

• Cold boot windows
• Reset SMC
• Checked Windows updates - Windows is up to date
• Checked Apple software updates - all up to date
• Booted into mac OS and installed windows drivers to a usb then went back into windows and redownloaded via bootcamp, no change.
• Went into device manager and unchecked the box allowing this pc to turn off the Broadcom Network Adapter
  

Happy to try anything at this point, getting fed up of my wired mouse haha

Thanks in advance
