Windows 10 on iMAC 2009 21.5

Hi,

I have an iMAC 2009 21.5 and have been running dual boot with an officially purchased Windows 7 using bootcamp. I have also upgraded bootcamp to version 4, and everything is working like a charm. Now MS released Windows 10, which gives everyone running Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 a free upgrade. I have been tempted to run the upgrade but wanted to double check to see if anyone has done it so far.

It seems that iMAC 2009 21.5 supports up to bootcamp 4 and bootcamp 4 support up to Windows 8.1. To be able to support Windows 10, I should be running bootcamp 5, but the compatibility matrix says bootcamp 5 does not work on this model.

Has anyone had any experience with such?

Thanks.

You can try installing Windows 10 and see if the drivers are still current enough to run it. However, before you do, make a cloned backup of both your OS X partition (Carbon Copy Cloner) and your Windows partition (WinClone). Then if things go wrong, you can always revert back.
