Bootcamp Installation Issues

I can't seem to get bootcamp to successfully install. It installs just fine, then says "an error occurred while copying the windows installation files". My computer is updated as well. I fulfill all of the requirements, but it just won't work.

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.13

Boot Camp error occurred while copying Windows files (novice help please) Hello, while I downloaded 64-bit Windows 10 from microsoft.com then tried to install via BootCamp and got the error about copying Windows files. It then got stuck rolling back the partitions created. I'm a complete novice at this, so I read other threads for help. I'm not skilled enough to even attempt the 9-step work arounds and things like that that I've seen. I found one thread that suggested this: diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s4 and now run BC Assistant and try to Remove/Restore. I actually got that to work after a reboot. Yay me! However I'm still wanting to install Windows via BCA but I am not capable of complex coding and such. I've seen one suggestion of installing a later version of Windows and that has worked. Is anyone familiar with a simple fix like this work and would be able to walk me through? THANK YOU!

Bootcamp Error - "Software Update" I'm receiving the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." when I reach the end of Step 2 in this process (selecting the Windows ISO and installing). I believe I have the right 64-bit Windows 10 ISO and my Mac is up to date. I am not sure what Software Update the error is referring to. I have enough space but can not move past this error, even after deleting the ISO and re-downloading.

Does the Windows installation complete and the BC drivers installation fail?

What is the year/model of your Mac (do not post the serial number)?

What is the current macOS version?
