![]() I haven't found any hints in the couple hours I've been at this, and I haven't had any luck with regedits for the device. but I still would like to know how to manually choose a driver. So maybe in the end the Trackpad V1 won't work. I installed the driver with the associated exe and see its files in C:\Windows\System32. How can one specify the driver to use for a device? Device manager only lists generic ones, and trying to update the driver via "selecting the disk folder" just results in it saying that the AppleWTP64.inf and associated folder with all the other bits isn't compatible (I don't care I still want to use it).ĭevice manager listing suggestions The Trackpad driver folder with all the driver parts Windows automatically uses a default msmouse.inf to profile the Apple Trackpad V1 and uses an generic driver.ĭevice Status in Device Manager Device driver log (I grabbed a compatible one from a Bootcamp installation with ). I guess it is time I had a look.I have a driver installed for an Apple V1 Trackpad (Magic Trackpad 1). navigate to the location you unzipped to (example mine was C:Windowssystem32>'C:UsersnameDesktopApple DriversBootCampDriversAppleBootCamp.msi') and click enter Bootcamp will run normally and you will walk through the wizard to install files. I do have version 10 which is compatible with win 10. ![]() Once downloaded, right-click on the file, select Extract All, and extract the file to an appropriate location. Download the AMD version for Intel and AMD PCs and the ARM version for Arm-based PCs. Your comment has me interested though, because I have not tried the virtual machine via Parallels yet. Download the Apple Precision Trackpad drivers from here. ![]() If this conundrum continues, I will have to migrate back to PCs. I own Macbook Pros because I can flip between the two OS systems. Much as I love Apple, and I do, I am completely dependent on a PC for the digitizing programs I use, and frankly Quicken, (which is far superior in the PC version). Most of these are replicated using the mouse and mouse wheel. All of my programs work on Win 10 on the older device I simply do not have the touchpad capabilities. I can live without my touchpad as I have your everyday logitech laser mouse at hand. Anyway it refuses to convert my new laptop. I guess Broadcom hasn't addressed this yet. Strangely, it did not find anything amiss on my older laptop, but it has a problem with the Broadcom Bluetooth driver on my newer laptop. The Win 10 app opines on the compatibility of devices and apps. Once you are done with your class, just dump the virtual machine, uninstall Virtualbox, and enjoy life!ĭioshy, thanks for the response. If you have a class requirement to work in Windows, my best suggestion would be to install Virtualbox ( ), which is legally free, and run your Windows in a virtual environment. If you do so, you are on your own do it at your own risk. Personally, I will not recommend it at all. If may update to the latest version of Windows, but your hardware may not work to the max potential since Apple will not release any driver update for your computer model to run with Windows 10 (if it falls in the list of unsupported devices.) If you can live with the standard/universal set of drivers that Microsoft will load for you during the update process without using the max power of all your Apple hardware, you MAY be safe to update. Microsoft, through the upgrade assistant, may tell you that your computer does have the minimum system requirements to be updated to Windows 10, but that is all from the Microsoft perspective.
