I'm trying to bootcamp Windows 10. Bootcamp Assistant does not recognise it as being a higher version than 7. It says it can't find an installer while there is a bootable USB stick there made from my Windows 10 installer DVD. There is also an ISO on the desktop.

 

I had to make the bootable installer disk in bash using dd, because Disk Util and Bootcamp Assistant kept throwing errors when I attempted to make the stick using them and the installed ISO that I downloaded from Microsoft's site, as per Apple's instructions. I keep finding help and advise that tells me these issues won't occur, so presumeably some people actually manage to do this without all the pain I'm experiencing. If those who have also had trouble could share their solutions that would be awesome
