Q: Bootcamp says it only supports windows 7 and later but I bought and downloaded an ISO image for windows 10

So I went online to buy an ISO image of windows 10 . I got it and I put the name of the image into the place where it says "ISO Image" and continued. It says something like "bootcamp only supports windows 7 and later, but I am using the image for windows 10. It doesnt let me go any further than that. What am I doing wrong?

Please see Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support . You need to ensure you have the latest updates. Are you installing a new copy of Windows on the Mac are are you upgrading an existing installed copy?

I just have the same problem...
Make sure You have the right *ISO file... When i started download Win7.iso from microsoft web page it says it is going to be just over 3GB file... but when i finish downloading I realized my *iso file is only 2.15GB... Anyway i have tried to use it via Boot Camp and then the same error message appears.
Then decided to download Win7 iso once again and this time it was 3 gig file and everything went through smooth...

regards
