Apple adds full Windows 10 support to all recent Macs

Mac users are now able to dual boot Windows 10 on their Apple-made devices thanks to a just released update to the Boot Camp setup assistant.

Boot Camp 6 is able to partition an existing Mac HDD or SSD and configure it for Windows 10 installation. It includes drivers to enable support for Mac features such USB 3, USB-C and Thunderbolt ports, the built-in SD card reader and CD drive, and a user's Apple keyboard, trackpad and mouse.

The new drivers are also available for Mac users with an existing Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 partition who wish to claim their free upgrade to Windows 10. Apple recommends installing any pending software updates in OS X before installing Windows 10.

Boot Camp 6 can only be used to install the 64-bit version of Windows 10. The 32-bit version of Windows 10 is not compatible with Mac.
