Can not install Win 10 (Bootcamp 6.1)

I did a fresh osx install and wanted to install window 10 back but bootcamp is asking for a usb drive, high sierra wasn't asking it, win10 iso file was enough. Even I try to install with fat formatted usb drive, I still can not install. (Note: I have a default fusion disk came with iMac but not using it. Installed 500gb ssd.)

Trying with a fat formatted USB disk:







Also tried the way without bootcamp as described here: https://fgimian.github.io/blog/2016/03/12/installing-windows-10-on-a-mac-without-bootcamp/

and again no luck :

I don't want to downgrade to high sierra. What should I do?


I did NVRAM, PRAM, and SMC reset
