bootcamp Windows 10 64-bit

I recently bought and downloaded a copy of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit from the Microsoft Store for the purposes of installing it on my MacBook Pro 15-inch, 2016 because I'm living in Peru and need to use certain Windows programs. The problem is that, although I've downloaded the 64-bit ISO, bootcamp insists that I don't have a 64-bit ISO. This is driving me nuts. What can I do?

You were right, the file hadn't completely downloaded. With everyone using the internet during the quarantine and the providers throttling the internet, it was hard to get it downloaded. I tried several times during off-peak hours, it kept failing on the home stretch. So, I had to use a VPN to get around the throttling. Then I had to use a download manager to split it into threads. But, in the end, I finally got it downloaded and it worked. I'm currently replying to you from my Windows partition on my MacBook Pro.


Thank you so much for your help. Wherever you are, stay healthy and stay safe.


Take care!
