If 1903 or later can be clean installed, it is a better choice, due to the SysPrep challenges during the 1903 upgrade.

If given the option between Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows 10 Pro (no earlier than v1909), I should pick the former as the Boot Camp drivers are likely not supporting newer Windows 10 releases (than v1809, at least), yeah?.

Newer release create more issues the Intel HD4K GPU. If given the option between Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 (v1607-based) and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (v1809-based), there's no compelling reason (at least as far as support with the drivers Apple currently offers) to pick the former, yeah?

So, just to confirm you're saying that:.

All EFI updates are now bundled into macOS updates. Do I need to move to Catalina to get the newer firmware updates? It is unlikely that 2012-2014 Macs will change their basic EFI (and CSM-BIOS) and become UEFI-only. Some early 2015 models are also BIOS mode only.Īnd are you saying that Apple is still updating the kind of firmware this Mac has (pre-UEFI?)? Or are you saying that they're only updating the newer type of firmware?

2013-2014 Macs support both BIOS and UEFI.

2012 and older Macs are BIOS (CSM-BIOS with Hybrid MBR).

Unless you're referring to the dropping of the BIOS compatibility layer that helped boot versions of Windows earlier than Windows 8? As for my Mac being pre-UEFI, what's the cut-off on that? I thought all Intel Macs were UEFI-based.

The supported method is How to use Apple Software Update for Windows - Apple Support. Or is it one of those things where I can use the Boot Camp drivers that gives me and then update some of them from vendors from there? It seems like they haven't updated them since the 1607 era which is what prompts my question. Are they even supporting current Windows 10 versions? My question is merely: are the Boot Camp drivers for this Mac () supporting 1809? I should say that this isn't my primary Mac and it won't be my primary PC either (so using Windows 10 Pro from the standpoint of compatibility with other apps and services external to the operating system and drivers isn't necessarily a must here).Īny input or information here, especially from those more knowledgeable about Boot Camp Support software releases for Windows than I am, would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Given that the Boot Camp software for my machine has not been updated in some time, would it be better to stick with an older version of Windows 10 (such as these LTSC/B releases that I have access to) so as to ensure maximum compatibility with the drivers Apple supplies here? And if so, should I use LTSB 2016 or is LTSC 2019 likely to work just as well? Or does it not really matter and am I good to just install the most current version of Windows 10 Pro? I also have Windows 10 Pro that I can use (although my options for a supported version of Windows 10 Pro are limited to 1809 or newer until October, and then 1909 or newer thereafter). I have access to both Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 (based on Windows 10 v1607, but with extended support for security patches until 2026) and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 (based on Windows 10 v1809, but with extended support for security patches until 2029).

I also know that Apple hasn't updated Boot Camp drivers for Windows 10 for this MacBook Pro in quite some time. I know Intel's support for Ivy Bridge is limited at best. This MacBook Pro uses 3rd Generation Ivy Bridge CPUs.

At some point between now and the release of macOS Catalina's last security patch, I'm going to probably wipe the SSD clean and turn it into a Windows 10 machine.

With the release of macOS Big Sur, this MacBook Pro's days running a supported version of macOS (that will receive regular security updates) are effectively numbered. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012).
