IMac – Late 2012 iMac not seeing Bootcamp 6 update

bootcampimacwindows

I would like to install Windows 10 and use Bootcamp 6 to do so on a 2012 iMac. According to Apple's documentation, this should have appeared and been installed by software update. When I check my Bootcamp version though, it is 5.1.4. I have updated everything on the actual computer (10.10.5, etc).

They used to provide access to the direct PKG files to install, but I don't see one for bootcamp 6.

What am I doing wrong. According to their support document, this machine should be supported – https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204990

According to this thread on Apple Support Communities, the version number "6" only shows up in Windows, or in XML files on the Mac, if you go digging.

From what I understand, you should be able to, without any problems, use a Windows 10 ISO with the 5.1.4 version of Bootcamp Assistant, and it'll be smart enough to download the version 6 drivers behind the scenes.
