HOW TO FIX THE 'BOOT CAMP IS UNSUPPORTED ON THIS COMPUTER MODEL' ERROR ON MAC

How-to

BootCamp (Image credit: iMore)


Are you needing to install Windows on a partition on your Mac? As much as Apple
tries to make it as simple as possible, sometimes errors do occur. Once such
error is the "Boot Camp is unsupported on this computer model" error. This is an
error that occurs when you try to install the Apple provided Boot Camp drivers
whilst running Windows.


 * The cause of the error
 * Force the installation of the Apple drivers
 * Final comments


THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR



The reason why this error occurs is because Mac you are using to run the Windows
partition on is no longer supported by Apple (i.e. they say it's too old!).
Luckily for us, we can ignore what others deem as obsolete and force the
installation of the drivers for the Apple specific hardware installed to run
things like the camera, Wi-Fi, and bluetooth radios. Here's how!


FORCE INSTALL OR APPLE BOOT CAMP DRIVERS UNDER WINDOWS



Here, we are assuming you have followed the instruction on how to install
Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp and have access to the Boot Camp drivers on
USB. Once your Windows installation is up and running do the following:

 1. In the Windows Cortana search bar type CMD but do not press the enter key.
 2. Right-click the Command Prompt Desktop app.
 3. Select Run as administrator. In the Command Prompt you'll need to navigate
    to the Boot Camp drivers you downloaded when preparing you Mac to install
    Windows. We will assume that the USB device is mounted in Windows as the
    "D:\" drive.



 4.  Type D:\ and press enter.
 5.  Type cd BootCamp\Drivers\Apple
 6.  Press enter. In order to make certain we are in the correct directory we
     will list the current contents of the directory.
 7.  Type dir.
 8.  Press enter. You should see a list of Apple related files and one that is
     called BootCamp.msi. Once confirmed we can go ahead and force the
     installation.
 9.  Type msiexec /i BootCamp.msi.
 10. Press enter.



The installation will now begin. If you encounter a Windows error that the
installation may have failed simply dismiss the dialog box and continue.

That's it! You'll now be able to use the Apple specific hardware during your
Windows usage. Sometimes, however, you'll get a device that is not supported
anymore by Apple but Windows will provide a driver for it regardless. On a more
rare occasion you'll get some hardware that won't work at all but that seems
rarer these days.
