I am looking for the exe files for BootCamp drivers for Windows 10. I installed Windows 10 on my Mac 4 months ago using the ISO and BootCamp assistant but then I reinstalled it directly on the partition which made the BootCamp drivers go away, and now some things (such as right click and two finger touchpad scrolling) don't work. I want to get the drivers without having to reinstall Windows (at the beginning Mac gives you the BootCamp installation files as an exe but I can't find them anywhere online.)

- Bootcamp ISO and windows 10 submitted 3. Extract the Windows Product Key, download the ISO from Microsoft, and install it via BootCamp on your Mac.
- I downloaded the Windows 10 64 Bit ISO (4GB) while in OS X, formatted my thumb drive to exFAT, booted into Windows 7 Bootcamp and downloaded a Windows 7 installer tool (you'll have to google that too).

How to Install Windows 10 On Mac OS X Using Boot Camp. You can download an ISO file for Windows 10 directly in OS X using the. Determining Disk Space for Windows 10. After Boot Camp.
NEW SOLUTION
Open Boot Camp Assistant, and click on 'Action' in the menu bar.
Click on Download Windows Support Software.
OLD SOLUTION
You can download the drivers from Boot Camp Assistant.
First, uncheck 'Create a Windows 7 or later install disk' and 'Install Windows 7 or later version', leaving only 'Download the latest Windows support software from Apple' option checked. It should look something like this:
Make sure you have a USB drive connected, and click continue. You should see a screen like this:
.
Select your drive and click on continue. It should download it to the connected USB drive.
Reboot into Windows, and install the support software from the USB.
Edit: I found Brigadier, a software that fetches and installs the drivers for you on Windows. I'll take a look at it, when I have more time.

As of today Windows 10 1809 (October) will not work with bootcamp!- windows will not find drivers- windows will complain about selected drive- etc etc
Use Windows 10 1803 (April) and bootcamp should work like it's supposed to.

A lot Can be said about installing windows 10 bootcamp on an external hdd or ssd to save some precious space on the macbook ssd. After trying a lot of not so well discriped (failing) guides i came across this excellent guide made by Simphax from here. It works excellent on all efi supported macbooks.
What you will need is either a working windows 10 installation or create one in a virtual machine like in VMWare fusion (free edition will work) or parallels. Windows 10 ADK as decribed below and ofcourse a windows 10 iso.
Process for 2015- MacBooks (EFI installation)
In Mac OS:
- Run Boot Camp Assistant to put the Windows drivers onto a separate USB stick
- Download a Windows 10 x64 ISO
- Transfer the ISO to your Windows installation.
![Windows 10 Iso Download For Bootcamp Windows 10 Iso Download For Bootcamp](https://levels.io/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Screenshot-2015-08-18-02.40.35.png)
In Windows:
- Install Windows ADK, uncheck all alternatives except 'Deployment Tools'
- Double click the Windows ISO to mount it as a drive
- Plug in the external USB drive.
- Open command prompt and run the following:
Formatting the drive:
Installing Windows:
where D is the letter of the windows installation drive, W is the external drive's NTFS partition, Index '1' is for Windows 10 Pro, use '2' for Windows 10 Home)
Installing boot files:
Done! Plug the drive into your Mac and restart holding down the Option key and you should see EFI Boot as an alternative, this is your Windows 10 installation.
Final step is to install the Boot Camp Windows drivers. Run setup.exe from the USB drive.
I hope this is of use and service to all of you.

Thank you!
An alternative method, especially useful if you want to migrate an existing Windows installation:
- Install or migrate your existing Windows installation into a VMWare Fusion virtual machine.
- Boot the Acronis Backup and Recovery bootable ISO in Fusion.
- Create backup of the whole virtual Windows volume.
- Restore backup to the USB disk, attached to the virtual machine.
Don't forget to activate USB 3.0 support in the Fusion USB settings of the virtual machine to speed up things.

Hi, I've tried your first suggested method. Everything works fine until I get to the booting part. The mac just wont see the SSD drive so I could start the Windows installation. I've also tried other methods leading to the same problem.
Do you have any idea what is wrong ?
Thank you.

Do you already have BootCamp installed on your internal drive? In that case, the drive won't show. I had same issue, deleting bootcamp partition on your internal drive solve the problem.

Hi, thanks a lot for the video. I already tried 3 other complicated methods of installing Win on my external SSD with the same issue, of not seeing the EFI at boot time. But with your solution it worked.

I was the original creator of the steps for creating an external Boot Camp partition.
Original post: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/bootcamp-windows-10-from-external-drive.1815672/page-3#post-20758398 (posted in February 2015) - way before Simphax's and Orkoden's answers (which were most likely ripped off my original post on MacRumors.)
I can safely say that to this day, my method still works well as it has separate steps for UEFI and BIOS-MBR systems (see the later pages of the MR thread).

Hi
My Win 10 (Creators) VM on parallels can't detect my external SSD and connecting it as a USB device directly, instead, it connects it as a network drive from Mac, therefore, diskpart won't detect it, although I modified parallels settings for connected USB devices in general and this external SSD in particular.
my external SSD is Raid SSD (NTFS) connected via TB3 interface.
is there anything I'm missing in this guide?

I also highly recommend installing rEFInd! http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/
It's an EFI Boot Manager. Let's you install Windows, MacOS, Linux and etc.

If it's connected via TB3, you don't need any of these steps. You can just boot from a Windows USB installer and install directly to the TB3 drive, because Windows will see it as an internal drive.

The latest win 10 ISO does not contain file sourcesinstall.wim
I suppose they replaced it by boot.wim

VMWare Fusion wouldn't mount my USB 3.1 external raid enclosure (in JBOD), but I was able to workaround it. If your Mac can see/mount the drive, you can create a .vmdk that points to the raw disk and mount that in the VM instead and perform the steps above.

boy this is proving much more difficult than anticipated!!!
first I tried to use Winclone which failed horribly.. just as it has failed me repeatedly every time I tried to use it in the past
then I did the above instructions from the internal bootcamp and it all seemed to work, but then when I finally tried to boot from my external SSD I got an error
then I thought the error might be due to me having an internal bootcamp install active.. so I removed that and tried to boot again.. but still getting the error
then I tried to repeat the process again in a VirtualBox Win10 VM (I did enable USB 3.0). The DISM process would always be very slow and would always crash.
Then I loaded up an old Windows desktop I had lying around and redid the above instructions and finally that did work!
I was now able to boot Win10 Anniversary on my external SSD.. yay
But then I tried for hours to update to Creators.. getting errors that the Microsoft Troubleshooter were able to fix.
Finally I got an error saying 'Can't install Windows to a USB Flash Storage device using Setup' ... ??? WTF
So now I am starting all over again with the Windows Desktop but this time I will try to install the 1703 Creator's ISO directly even though Microsoft advises against it.
Has anyone had luck either upgrading from Anniversary to Creators on an External SSD? Or has had luck using the above instructions with the Creator's ISO ?

Can anyone help me? Following this guide but the windows 10 iso (Which says its for windows 10 pro and home) keeps installing windows 10 S and the only way to change version needs an internet connection but I can't access the internet because I can't run the bootcamp drivers setup.exe because its not from the windows app store.

Ok this forum helped me out so much in getting this done with LITTLE effort it would only be right to pay it forward. If you are using the latest version of Windows 10 a few things have changed with using the original setup guide..... Here they are:

Hi,
This method has worked for me (amazingly easy compared to all the other methods online!!), and I've been using it for a while now, But does anyone know how to update windows? Every time I log in it tells me it can't install the update on the external drive.
Thanks

Hi,
I currently have an 2016 macbook pro 15' with an Gaming box 1070 eGPU, works under mac and windows. But I'm beginning to run out of space, since macos and windows share harddrive.
I have earlier had windows bootcamp on an external SSD, is it possible to run windows of an external SSD and run eGPU? Anybody knows?

Any updates to this guide? It worked last time, but after installing from latest .iso that I downloaded with Media Creation Tool it BSODs.
Stop code: DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS
What failed: dump_WppRecorder.sys
What failed: dump_WppRecorder.sys
Nov 15, 2018 8:47 pm
After booting it in VirtualBox and finishing the installation I ran this script with slightly modified default preset (with uncommented DisableFastStartup and DisableHibernation), and then I was able to boot into Windows without BSODs and install bootcamp drivers. It works just fine, but BSODs on shutdown/reboot/etc...
