[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1676434, member: 307555"] I just did an install of Windows 10 using bootcamp for my very first time. The version of OS X on the 2009 macbook is 10.11 (El Capitan). I let bootcamp walk me through the install of Windows 7 then I did an upgrade to Windows 10. Bootcamp created the partition and formatted it NTFS. I had no issues with drivers except my Apple mouse does not have the scroll feature available but I think that is normal. As of now, I have wiped that bootcamp partition. I discovered I needed a bigger partition and for some reason in El Capitan they changed the way disk utility looks and seems to work- or it could be operator error, :Cool: and in my experimenting I messed up the Windows boot. I plan to reinstall after I change the hard drive in my 2009 Macbook to an SSD that has more capacity. I had no trouble getting bootcamp to remove the partition. Maybe El Capitan made it so smooth. Keep in mind I had messes with expanding the Windows partition using Disk Utilty and then I tried moving it back to the original size. I can safely say that did not work. At which time I removed the whole partition using bootcamp to do it. Lisa [/QUOTE]
