If you can't download or save the Windows support software:

• If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.
• If the assistant doesn't see your USB flash drive, click Go Back and make sure that the drive is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac—not to a display, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.
• If the assistant says that it can't download the software because of a network problem, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
• Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp.

If a Mac feature still doesn't work after updating the Windows support software, search for your symptom on the Apple support website or Microsoft support website. Some features of your Mac aren't designed to work in Windows.

I have MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) 8GB/500SSD running El Capitan. I just Installed Windows 7 using boot camp assistant. Everything went fine.

I know it’s not listed for W10, but I updated this W7 to W10 creator version using usb stick that I made with Windows tool. I activated it and ran Windows update. It’s running great. It created “Windows.old” folder which I assume is W7.

I have the following problems:

1) Found “Bootcamp” in “Programs files” folder. Nothing happens when I double click. I tried compatibility to W8, 'Run as Admin…', but no luck.

2) Found ‘Apple software update” folder in “Program files (x86)”. When I double click on “Software update”, it opens and tries to download update, then an error message says “Apple software update stop working'.

Where to get macbook pro.

Otherwise W10 is running well.

Do you have any suggestions? I don’t want to have sudden surprise.

Thank you,

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009)
