- Apple today released an update to Boot Camp with support for Microsoft Windows 10, according to a new support document. The update, Boot Camp 6, is still propagating and is not yet available for OS X.
- Boot Camp Assistant is a multi boot utility included with Apple Inc.' S macOS (previously Mac OS X / OS X) that assists users in installing Microsoft Windows operating systems on Intel-based Macintosh computers. The utility guides users through non-destructive disk partitioning (including resizing of an existing HFS+ or APFS partition, if necessary) of their hard disk drive or solid state drive.

The Boot Camp Support Software did not work for my installation of windows 10. The apple support page says that it is for up to windows 8. I have windows installed without a mac partition now. In order to download newer drivers for my mac I have to have boot camp installed on mac.
I loaded Windows 7 onto my machine through bootcamp, then upgraded to Windows 10, then installed a bunch of software, then restarted into the Mac environment before loading the Bootcamp WindowsSupport files.
Your 2008 MP does not support W10. There are no Apple-certified drivers for W10 on your model as stated in Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . The only MP which supports W10 is the 2013 Cylinder.
If I set the startup disk to the Windows partition it restarts to a black screen with a blinking cursor, no doubt because the BIOS mediator was not installed.
The BIOS mediator is the EFI firmware on your MP. It does not need to be installed. It was already there when you were running W7.
Everything is there as it is supposed to be as I can see it through the MAC finder... just can't boot into it. AAARGH !!

How To Update Boot Camp
I thought to boot up with the Windows 10 iso disk and reinstall the OS, but I am afraid I will overwrite everything I loaded or perhaps corrupt the dll's or registry entries.

We can try to resurrect the Windows installation. I presume you have a W7 backup somewhere before you started the W10 upgrade. Is this a single-disk MP? From OSX Terminal, please post the output of
