Two weeks after Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public, Apple has updated Boot Camp with support for the latest and greatest OS.
Boot Camp is a multi-boot utility in OS X that lets you install Windows on Intel-based Macs. It handles disk partitioning, installation of Windows device drivers, and also includes a Windows Control Panel applet for selecting the boot operating system.
