MacBook Air mid 2013 6.2 Windows 10 and ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery

I'm trying to install windows on new ssd 1TB . (macOS work perfect)

The only way to get to updated windows was to install the original version of windows 10 1507 and from there to upgrade.

Always with the charger connected.

I've checked the windows drivers( with windows verifire) and I don't see any problem.

Many people have issues when they change ssds like here.. Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Method Control B… - Apple Community

Does anyone have any idea?

From what I've searched, Apple doesn't offer any drivers for Bootcamp for this specific case( ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery) it installs the Microsoft driver.

Thanks in advance

Can you load Microsoft Windows as a guest in a virtual machine?

That’s the current path for most things Windows on Apple hardware.

Microsoft doesn’t support Windows natively on current Apple Mac hardware.

On recent Mac hardware, Microsoft only supports Windows booted as a guest in Parallels.

And more recently, Windows 11 requires a TPM, which Apple doesn’t support.

Pragmatically, a twelve year old Mac is obsolete. And Windows 10 mainline support is ending in a month, too.

as I wrote in the original post, the only way to install windows is to install the first version of windows 10 1507 with bootcamp and from there to upgrade it.. but to avoid getting an error message and the laptop shutting down when I unplug its power supply, I must disable the driver for checking the battery. ps. to see if the problem was the battery I bought a new battery.. so far it has had 10 charge cycles
