Q: "No bootable device" when Installing Windows 10 via Boot Camp on iMac 27" Mid 2010

I am trying to install windows 10 on my iMac via boot camp.  I've tried 3 ways:

 

1) I downloaded the official windows 10 disc image from microsoft.  I followed the boot camp instructions to create a USB drive of boot camp drivers. I selected the disc image and had boot camp partition the drive.  When the computer restarted, I got the message  "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key".  Pressing a key didn't make a difference.

 

2) I tried again, this time burning the windows image to a dvd.  Same message.

 

3) I tried a third time, using the dvd and not using the usb drive at all, figuring I would just install the apple drivers later. Same message.

 

I would appreciate any advice!
