If some features aren't working when you start your Mac from Windows 10, try reinstalling Boot Camp support software using Boot Camp Assistant. Mac computers that support Windows 10. The following Mac models support 64-bit versions of Windows 10 when installed using Boot Camp: MacBook Pro - MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2016). It’s also important to note that you can use a 64-bit version of Windows, Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate), Windows 8, or Windows 8.1. Consult Apple support to see which Mac models are compatible with which versions of Windows. In its current incarnation, Boot Camp isn’t compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows. Now start the Boot Camp Assistant, and choose Action from the menu bar, then Download Windows Support Software Download Bootcamp support software to an empty USB stick.
I have looked for a while now. I have found a download page here:
- New in Boot Camp 5.0.5033: Boot Camp 5 adds Windows 8 (64-bit) support. Use the Boot Camp Assistant and a USB drive to install the latest Boot Camp drivers for your computer.
- The download file is a.zip file. Double click it to uncompress it, if it is not automatically.
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:'
Bootcamp Windows 8.1
Oh, but this section just troubleshoots problems you have with formatting your USB drive and with USB drive recommendations.
Bootcamp Download Windows 7
Bootcamp Mac Windows 8 Download 64-bit
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.

Download Mac Bootcamp Drivers For Windows 10
They made a choice to handhold users through disk formatting instead of just having a download.
