iMac 2010 High Sierra

I am having real difficulty installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp assistant 6.1.0


I have a Windows 7 OEM installation DVD. I have downloaded the latest support software (the first box selected) in the assistant. However, when I run Bootcamp assistant to "Install Windows 7 or Windows 8" (the second box selected) it says "The Installer disc could not be found" - inserting the disc before or after this makes no difference the disc keeps trying to load and Bootcamp assistant never moves on to the next step to create a partition.


Any help much appreciated.

OEM Installer discs are not supported. If you have a Retail Product key, you can download the ISO and burn it to DVD-R SL blank disc and use it.
