This is how the Touch Bar works on the new MacBook Pro with Windows

Touch Bar in MacBook Pro displays a Windows only keys with standard functions that any laptop has available.

Touch Bar of the new MacBook Pro raised a lot of question marks for Apple's customers, and this in the conditions where not so much is known about him. Some people have asked how the Touch Bar works if Windows is used through Boot Camp, and the answer is as simple as possible.

According to Apple's vice president, Craig Federighi, when Windows is used on the MacBook Pro, the Touch Bar will display the old keyboard control keys. So, when you run Windows on MacBook Pro, you will not benefit from the functionality offered in macOS Sierra, but you will see the standard keys F1-12, Escape and all the others.

Moreover, the Power button will not allow you to use Touch ID in Windows, so you will not benefit from the protection offered by the fingerprint reader. It is also normal for Apple not to offer support for an operating system other than its own, Microsoft acting in exactly the same way with its own laptops.

Of course, very few people think of using Windows on a MacBook Pro constantly, so this mode of operation of the Touch Bar is as normal as possible.

"Craig, am I correct in assuming that the Touch Bar becomes a row of visual function keys when using Windows with Boot Camp?" "You are indeed!"
