Windows 10 Install failure

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) running on Mojave, I am trying to install Windows 10 with bootcamp but the windows Download Software stops at "3 minutes remaining". I have tried creating a USB bootable drive as well as creating a partition directly with BCA and the same happens in both cases.

Help please!

Windows 10 install failure I have a MacBook Pro (Regina, 13-inch, Late 2013) running MacOS Catalina. I have recently updated my drive to Aura Pro x2 for more storage for the boot camp partition. Every time I go through the process of download windows and installing it I get the error “the computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install windows click “OK” to restart the computer and then restart the installation.” I feel like I have tried everything, someone told me this hard drive is unable to run boot camp but I know several people who have on the same make and model as mine with no issues at all. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Unable to install windows with a late 2011 MBP , windows 10 I tried installing windows 10 on my Mac but the CD drive isn't working anymore so I used a workaround that involves editing the info.plist of the bootcamp assistant app to trick the app into letting me create a bootable windows installer on usb Now that that's done, I ran into a black screen with a command prompt that no disks were found, upon restart I found the Macintosh hd and efi boot in boot selector, in the efi boot, trying to install windows spits an error that the bootcamp partition was built with MBR and that windows needs GPT. Any way I can install windows without depending on the CD drive??

Try Brigadier and test. Here is an example log, which shows how to run it in macOS Terminal. You do not need the -m' qualifier.
