macbook pro 13″ early 2011 also works fine with windows 10. i have no problem.
Firstly installed windows 7 then updated windows 10, works fine without problem.
How did you get windows 10 installed? Whenever I run bootcamp, the windows CD starts up, then I get the blank screen and blinking cursor.
firstly installed windows 7 with bootcamp. then installed all updates on windows 7.
after all, updated to windows 10
Waiting for Microsoft to get their shit together. Still to many problems installing Windows in virtual.
How come it takes Apple 9 months to fix Yosemite WI-FI issues but supports windows 10 after a few weeks after release. Shows how important it is to have a real operating system on their hardware that just works.
You surely don’t know the wifi issue, do you? The WiFi issue was fixed by using again an old service that has been part of the core system, not just changing a switch or a few lines of code. I was a huge service, responsible of all the connectivity in os x. Bootcamp is not a core application and Windows did not change that much from 8 to 10 in terms of hardware, so that is why. And the beta was released a long time ago, giving them time to test it properly.
Well “supports” Windows 10 may be a bit strong since I just tried to install and now Windows no longer boots (just keeps rebooting). Did Apple actually test this update??
