Sep 3, 2016 6:01 AM in response to muddog322by VikingOSX,★HelpfulWindows 10 download expects an existing Windows 7 installation, and will upgrade over it, using the Windows 7 license key to construct a new Windows 10 license key. The free Windows 10 upgrade period expired at the end of July. Boot Camp in El Capitan no longer supports a Windows 7 installation.
I do not recommend directly installing Windows (any version) directly into the Mac without Boot Camp, or one of the virtual machine solutions (e.g. VirtualBox, VMWare, Parallels).

Sep 3, 2016 7:46 AM in response to muddog322by BobTheFisherman,You can install Windows 10 using Boot Camp Assistant or using a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox. If you are using Boot Camp Assistant follow the instructions located here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
If you are using a virtual machine, follow the instructions located at each of the virtual machine sites.
