Q: Problem with Bootcamp
Hello, I have a Late 2013 15" Macbook Pro. While creating a partition using BootCamp, the screen on the laptop went black but I could see a non-movable mouse pointer. The fans on the Macbook Pro started to spin up loudly.
I gave it a couple of minutes, but nothing was responsive so I hit the power button. After the laptop came back up, I noticed that a partition was created called, 'BOOTCAMP'.
I restarted the laptop, hit the "Option" key and started the Windows 10 installer via USB. However, after entering in my product key (I bought Windows 10 on USB), I get a message that states something like, "No images found." To install Windows, I'm using a personal USB key that I used with BootCamp. I'm thinking I don't need to use the USB key that was in the Windows 10 box.
I'm not sure what went wrong here and wanted to know if anyone could provide some help. Thanks!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

I'm not certain, but i think this happens when the key cannot be validated with microsoft.
Try to skip entering the product key and see if you can then install windows 10, and then try to activate it afterwards.
