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!

This worked! Now I’ve run into a separate issue of it not finding my network to connect to. I followed a separate thread where you said to skip and check Device Manager later. It won’t let me upload a picture so I will type them out.
