I just extracted the BootCamp 5.1 drivers and installed the ATI drivers, which brings them to 9.0.2 on Windows 7-64.Catalyst is at 15.7.1, the Apple drivers are from 4/19/2011 and versioned as 8.850.0.0.

I freshly installed 8.1-64 (fixed ISO) on my Mac Pro 2,1, then upgraded to Windows 10-64. I am using BootCamp 5.1 and the "native" Windows 10 Radeon Graphics driver. Works well.Not that system, but that's what Windows 10 does. You can't stop it from downloading the latest drivers.

NZXT H440Nice! What kind of case are you going with?
NZXT H440![]()
Yep, it's a great replacement for the cMP. I was using a security lock threaded through the cMP's rear handle so that it was secured to the desk and radiator. In the photo you can see I now use the lock by threading it through the two holes that are normally used for external water coolers.Good choice. I like the drive trays on that model. Tons of expansion room.
CPU serial number.4th Q now. If you have Win 10 tied to your Mac Pro, is it tied to a serial number or model number? How does that work with mutts? Is it tied to the mobo or mac addy or something?
7/8 keys work with 10. I can't see other questionsOK. Do you know about my other 3 questions?
Once you upgrade Win 7-8, does the key from those OSes still work or do they get deactivated?
Once you have your 10 key tied to HW, be it a full retail or free upgrade, can you ever wipe the association and install on new HW?
When will/did the preview edition stop working?
OK. I have used 8.1 on 2 systems (not concurrent) and did not have to remove the key. Does that change after you upgrade to 10, or do you mean I can continue to use 7-8 on another system while 10 is used on the upgraded one?
So it seems like people should check out what the free upgrade key is and write it down. Otherwise, if they change HW, it would be lost.
You can get any activation back just by chatting to support. It's easy. But the manual deactivation method is even easier.
Would you have to reupgrade then?
OK. So that key will NOT work for 7-8 again or only if it is not currently tied to HW?No you can use the Windows 10 ISO to perform a new install with your 7/8 key
Hi guys!
I have a MacPro5,1 and Windows 10 is installed (on a separate SSD) + the Windows 8 Boot Camp drivers that's supposed to work with Windows 10 too, but I have problems using Startup Disk in Windows to change back to OS X. The computer just keeps booting into Windows even if I select my OS X drive there in Startup Disk in Windows.
I can't use the startup manager (i.e. holding down the alt/option key during boot) to go back to OS X since I don't have an EFI graphics card (I have the the ”PC version” of an Nvidia GTX 970). I've tried to use the startup manager blindly, but it seems it doesn't load if there's no graphics card that can show it, so can't do it that way.
Any ideas?
Do you have the stock GT120?
Reset it just in case its corrupted.
-uninstall Boot Camp Utilities.
-install it again.
-shut down
-unplug the Mac and then hold down the power button to reset NVRAM
-turn on and reset the PRAM
-it will now boot OSX by default
-now reboot back into Windows to see if Start Up disk communicates properly with the system NVRAM
