How to Use Apple Magic Trackpad with your Windows PC [Digital Inspiration]
Hi Snemoy,
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.
Method 1: Update the Bootcamp software via the OS part of your laptop.
Go to Bootcamp assistant
Choose option that ask to update latest boot camp software for Win 7
Insert a blank USB drive
Once download is complete go back into Windows 10 and find the USB drive
Go to Bootcamp/drivers/Apple/Bluetooth and install all the files that show Bluetooth
Install the file called setup and let it install all drivers back on to MAC While you are still accessing Windows.
After doing this restart PC and check.
Method 2:
Find bootcamp version of your computer from here, and download it.. https://support.apple.com/en-am/HT204048
Open downloaded zip file.. and find folder called 'AppleBluetoothBroadcom'(for me it was inside of '$WinPEDriver$' folder) extract it, and run the installer (called 'DPInst.exe').
Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!
