need help with network drivers

Go to solution Solved by Mumintroll,

That sounds like an adventure

 

Isn't there this utility called Bootcamp that can install a dual boot MacOS and Windows on Macbooks, along with the drivers?

I have no experience of Macbooks myself but I think I've read about it.

 

Is it possible to get the system specs for it?

Did Apple use the exact same parts for all Macbooks of your model, or are there different revisions that could have different hardware, like different ethernet and wifi?

I got windows 10 onto a MacBook Pro from 2015 using a bootable iso image(Mac OS is no longer on the laptop) and need help finding a network controller driver that will work or a different way to get internet to it

yes there is bootcamp, but the MacBook was from my local recycling center and was locked with the password, reinstalling the os wasn't working so I just when straight to windows with a flash drive.

EDIT: I found a iso for Mac OS Monterey so im going to try that to get bootcamp

It took some clicking around to find, but Apple still hosts the BootCamp driver packages on their support page.

 

Version 5:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/106412

 

Version 4:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/106469

 

The top of each page will tell you which models they contain drivers for. There should be a NIC driver in there for your MacBook.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.
