click next, it will give a warning saying the driver may be unstable, click yes anyway.It will show now "Apple broadcom built in bluetooth" as the driver.Once finished, go to Device manager click on your trackpad then go to update drivers.Bootcamp will run normally and you will walk through the wizard to install files.navigate to the location you unzipped to (example mine was C:\Windows\system32>"C:\Users\name\Desktop\Apple Drivers\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\BootCamp.msi") and click enter.open command prompt by right clicking and saying run as admin.Download the bootcamp files from apple (its direct location from apple can be found at ).exe.ĭoes anyone know of any way to force the Magic Trackpad 2 drivers from Apple to install on a non-Mac Windows 10 machine? the first file, AppleWTP64.inf, is a driver I extracted from the Apple Wireless Trackpad. Here are screenshots of the files I am looking at from Apple's Boot Camp support software.
In fact, forcing the Apple driver to install on the test Windows 10 computer results in it not even detecting the Magic Trackpad as an input device at all, and it won't let me remove the device either. The program gives an error "not designed for this computer" and quits.Ģ) I drilled down into the downloaded Support file folder and found a variety of drivers and driver installation packages, but manually installing those (on a separate Windows 10 computer that I am using for testing) has not worked. I have a Mac and downloaded the Windows Boot Camp Support software, because I know on Boot Camp, Apple's software *does* get the Magic Trackpad 2 working on a Windows installation.ġ) You can't install the whole Boot Camp installer on a non-Mac. I know there is third-party software out there that is safe and works fine that'll make the trackpad work on Windows, but my company's IT security team is reluctant to have any third-party software installed on a work machine. I'm trying to use my Apple Magic Trackpad 2 with my Windows 10 work computer.
