Hello

Before installing bootcamp and windows 10 on my brand new tbMBP, I would like to be sure that the driver issue has been fully solved.
I don't see many alarming messages about that recently

when installed, there is no risk that the "safe" Apple audio drivers might be replaced by "dangerous" drivers from Microsoft during windows update ?

Thank you
 
thank you, I tried, but the headphones are too large for the 2,5 mm hole :D

seriously : the idea is not bad, but I would like to have sound on speakers while playing with bootcamps

thats bad :D then you have to buy some tomorrow :p

well you will have sound - I mean, I just used it for the installation - after windows is installed you can unplug the headphones
 
ah ok, thank you for the tip

you mean that the headphones protect the speakers, as long as the adequate driver are installed, with no further risks for the MacBook. correct ?
 
I received mine yesterday and installed win10 directly - Till yet i dont have any Problems (probably 10 restarts without the headphones)

I was like you just afraid :D

If i did my research well, it only happend during the Installation of windows
 
Thank you for the info. I will plug a headset as soon as I am sure that there is no risk (driver updated)
 
Lol i am in the same boat...i have had my mbp 15 bto for about 10 days now really happy with the purchase I have even bought win 10 and samsung t3 500GB for bootcamp but just too afraid to try
 
Yes Apple has already issued an updated driver a few weeks ago. When using boot camp in Mac OS it will automatically download the latest drivers. So there is no need to be afraid of the installing windows anymore.

That's reassuring...are you running bootcamp on 2016 MBP as well? If so which model do you have?
 
@deadworlds good i got the 2.7Ghz with 460 and 512GB....any throttling issues? Actually I haven't pushed mine at all since i got mine..i have only charged it twice in two weeks so you can imagine how much i have used it lol

Throttling will occur on any slim laptop with an i7 depending on how long you push the CPU for in a given operation. If it's gaming it won't really throttle or not much. If it's rendering a heavy video timeline or 3D CGI then yes. Laptops are not suitable for that.

I have not noticed any throttling issues at all. It runs much cooler than my old 2008 unibody MBP this replaced.

That's good to know and i also wanted to update....I installed bootcamp last night and it all worked like a charm I took some precautions like plugging in the headphones while you boot the first time and during the whole installation etc.

Noted! Actually its not much of a concern as I mostly do all the heavy lifting on the desktop and if it throttles a little its okay
