Need Apple Magic Mouse driver for Windows 10

I have Windows 10 running perfectly on my I Mac (Boot Camp 3.3) with a magic mouse. Scrolling doesn't work. Need solid, simple help from this community regarding new mouse driver and installation. I'm not a computer expert. Thank you.

Hi Snemoy,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I am glad to assist you.

Method 1: Update the Bootcamp software via the OS part of your laptop.

Go to Bootcamp assistant

Choose option that ask to update latest boot camp software for Win 7

Insert a blank USB drive

Once download is complete go back into Windows 10 and find the USB drive

Go to Bootcamp/drivers/Apple/Bluetooth and install all the files that show Bluetooth

Install the file called setup and let it install all drivers back on to MAC While you are still accessing Windows.

After doing this restart PC and check.

Method 2:

Find bootcamp version of your computer from here, and download it.. https://support.apple.com/en-am/HT204048

Open downloaded zip file.. and find folder called "AppleBluetoothBroadcom"(for me it was inside of "$WinPEDriver$" folder) extract it, and run the installer (called "DPInst.exe").

Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries. We are happy to help!

Thanks & Regards
Joy

I have been searching forever and TODAY found the answer! 

Open "Apple Software Update" in Windows. It will download drivers for Boot Camp 6.0 for Magic Mouse/Keyboard/Trackpad 2!!

FINALLY!

Thank you Spar7y... I am feeling a little dense about proceeding.

Is there a step by step for Windows 10? I don't know where to find the "Apple Software Update".

Thank you,

Sheldon

Did you already install the bootcamp drivers and everything? If so, just open the start menu and type without quotes "apple software" and it should be a top result. It's a program apple installs. 

The top section will show you the update for all of the magic mouse/trackpad/etc. The bottom part will give you an option to install itunes, quicktime, etc (which you dont have to do).

Ah ok. Boot back in to Mac, use spotlight to search for Boot Camp Assistant and follow the instructions to download windows drivers to a usb drive; then you'll have to install from there. We were talking two different things before -- sorry!

I would like to use an Apple Magic Mouse, but not on Boot Camp, but on a regular PC. Is that possible at all?

I have to the same situation. For some reason my drivers did not installed while in the Windows installation and now the bluetooth adapter or the magic mouse 2 drivers are not the correct one, hence the Apple Update Program can't see the mouse either. The problem now is that if I want to use the Boot Camp Assistant to download those drivers I would have to delete the partition where Windows was installed. BIG NO NO. Windows was installed already and updated. All we need is the bluetooth and magic mouse drivers. These files should be available some other way than through Boot Camp Assistant. I know there are third party companies that offer a software for the magic mouse but I don't trust anyone providing Apple drivers other than Apple itself.
