Q: Can't install Windows on my iMac !

hello everybody!!!

I tried to install Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 on my iMac but every time I started the installation process with the bootcamp it stops in the middle of downloading of Apple's software to support Windows and write me: "Can't download the software because of a network problem." I know my internet workes properly. Is there a solution for that or any other way to install the windows in a new partition in my mac?

I have an Windows 10 ISO and Windows 8.1 ISO downloaded from Microsoft site and I'm using iMac 21.5 (late 2013)

Thanks for answering!!!

Ok. I succeced getting into the installition procces but when the windows installer asks me "where do you want to install windows?" ,
none of the partition cant used for that.
It said "windows cant be installed on drive 0 partition 4. Windows cannt be installed to this hard drive disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NFTS."

What am i supposed to do now???
