Windows 10 drivers on MacBook Pro without bootcamp
I deleted all partitions from a MacBook Pro and installed Windows 8 on it from a disk, then upgraded to Windows 10.
However, after running Windows Update, it still lacks drivers for WiFi, audio, the touchpad, and a few other devices. I can't seem to find those drivers available for download from any official sources. And all the info I can find about it assumes that I left the BootCamp partition intact (which I did not).
To further complicate things, I do not know exactly which model of the MacBook Pro it is. I have found this compatibility table, but not to much use.
How to get it working?

Open Apple Software Update for Windows and install available updates to get all the drivers. You will find additional details on the Mac models that support Windows 10 on the following link. You can check your computer model by selecting the Apple menu and choosing About This Mac when you are booted into OS X.

I cannot boot into OSX for the reason that I deleted all partitions from the disk before installing Windows. I don't need OSX, I just want to run Windows on the thing.

You can try downloading the boot camp support software and installing it.

Unfortunately not :-( it does not find the correct drivers when I try to install devices manually from the boot camp folder.
