For example, without the drivers, when you press the volume button on your Apple keyboard it won’t do anything because there are no driver to tell Windows what that button does. One partition will be used by your Mac to run Mac OS X and the other partition will be used to run Windows.īasically what the drivers do, is allow your built-in camera, special keyboard function (like volume), magic mouse and trackpad to work properly. BootCamp Assistant does two things, it downloads all the drivers necessary for Windows to operate properly and makes it easy to partition your hard drive into 2 partitions.
