• I have a MacBook Pro 2009 running MacOS El Capitan. Recently the Wi-Fi has stopped working. When I click on the Wi-Fi icon it displays the message 'No hardware installed', but Ethernet still works. Is there any way of fixing this by using a Wi-Fi dongle or something of the sort, if so do I need a specific dongle and how do I install it?

The MacBook Pro has had a long life thanks to frequent operating system updates. While the hardware has become difficult if not impossible to upgrade yourself, Apple has worked on extending the MacBook Pro's life by making sure its operating system, macOS, runs on models going back many years. This finally fixed it! I encountered the 'No Hardware Installed' issue on my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. After researching and replacing the wifi card, I still got the 'No Hardware' message. Then I came across this post. I ordered a brand new cable on Amazon for $9.50, installed it, and BAM! I've got my wifi. If you can't download or save the Windows support software: If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.

Boot Camp requires a Mac with an Intel processor.

When you install Microsoft Windows on your Mac, Boot Camp Assistant automatically opens the Boot Camp installer, which installs the latest Windows support software (drivers). If that doesn't happen, or you experience any of the following issues while using Windows on your Mac, follow the steps in this article.

• Your Apple mouse, trackpad, or keyboard isn't working in Windows.
  Force Touch isn't designed to work in Windows.
• You don't hear audio from the built-in speakers of your Mac in Windows.
• The built-in microphone or camera of your Mac isn't recognized in Windows.
• One or more screen resolutions are unavailable for your display in Windows.
• You can't adjust the brightness of your built-in display in Windows.
• You have issues with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi in Windows.
• You get an alert that Apple Software Update has stopped working.
• You get a message that your PC has a driver or service that isn't ready for this version of Windows.
• Your Mac starts up to a black or blue screen after you install Windows.

If your Mac has an AMD video card and is having graphics issues in Windows, you might need to update your AMD graphics drivers instead.

Install the latest macOS updates

3. Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
4. Choose View > Show All Devices from the menu bar.
5. From the sidebar in Disk Utility, select your USB flash drive. (Select the drive name, not the volume name beneath it.)
   
6. Click the Erase button or tab.
7. Choose MS-DOS (FAT) as the format and Master Boot Record as the scheme.
