Your iMac is expected to have a 1TB Fusion drive, which is currently 'split'. Please try the steps in How to fix a split Fusion Drive - Apple Support. If these do not work, create a Time Machine backup and we can manually rebuild the Fusion drive.


Your macOS Catalina installation is on the 1TB HDD part of the Fusion drive currently.

I just replaced the HDD with an SSD and I do not intend to use the fusion drive.

Any specific reason?

According to these, the bootcamp will not work without it?

BC Assistant supports specific layouts on specific Mac model identifiers. Your split layout is not supported. You can rebuild it as a Fusion drive with the 1TB SSD as secondary, and BCA will use it for the Windows installation.
