How to get Apple peripherals to work on a Windows PC

Published: 8 February, 2024

This guide will help you get your Apple Studio Display, ProDisplay XDR, Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad, etc. to work with a Windows 11 PC that doesn’t have native support for BootCamp. I wrote this guide because most methods that I could find elsewhere were either out of date, had sketchy download links, had compatibility issues with Windows 11 version 23H2, didn't support Windows Precision Touchpad, didn’t support all the modules in the BootCamp app, or didn’t explain how to get the most up to date Apple official drivers.

Please note that to get Apple displays to work will require either a thunderbolt output from your graphics card or the right DisplayPort to USB-C cable. Please refer to other guides elsewhere to find out what hardware you’ll need.

Generate Symantec VIP Access Token as OTP

Recently I came across a web service that required two-factor authentication using the Symantec VIP Access App. I already manage all of my OTP tokens in a different app (If you are on iOS I highly recommend using OTP Auth by Roland Moers.) and did not want to have to use yet another app to generate the TOTP.

There is a way to generate a Symantec VIP Access compatible token very easily if you have access to an environment which can run Python PIP. I happen to have Ubuntu Windows Subsystem Linux running on my machine. (If you are running Windows 10 and don't have this you should really check it out.) Let's get started...
