Boot camp win10 installation

Hi community

I am trying to install win10 via boot camp assistant og my mocbook pro with Big Sur

Everything goes fin until the beginning of the installation process

  • 1 I start boot camp and running the installere it make my USB ready
  • 2 Boot camp gets the windows files from Apple, downloads apple files for windows
  • 3 I select the windows partiton and boot camp makes the partition ready and restart
  • 4 I see the blue window and the test "installer program is running"
  • 5 Windows asked for a key and I enter the key and hit enter
  • 6. After a few seconds a window pops up "No installation media found"
  • 7 The only optiian I then have is to quit :-(


Question:

What windows version is my macbook pro downloading from Apple? 7, 8. 10 or 11?

What am I doing wrong in the process?

My windows key is for win10 Home


When I later start my macbook pro, with the "option" key pressed, I get three options to choose 1. MacOS, 2. EFI boot, 3. Windows.

If I press windows it is looking for a installation media and wants med to insert and press the any key

If I press EFI boot, I end up in the same situation as when I am running Boot Camp, "enter key", "no media found"


I am a littlte frustrated now, and can't figur out what is wrong!

Any advice


Thanks in advance

Chrisiian

Hi

Yes I have a licenced Win10 instalationfile on a USB stick!

At what moment under the installation via boot camp do I introduce it?

And what about the special driver that my macbook pro does download under the boot camp installation procedure?

I am a little bit confused about this and appreciate any help :-)

Hi guys


Tnx for all the inputs I found my issue and corrected it and now I was able to install my win10

My issue was that my licenskey and my win10 image where not compatible :-(

I tried to use this installation on a fresh pc, and when I entered the windows key in told me that the key was not compatible win the iso I had, and that way I know what the error/issue was!

Apple boot camp assistant only told me "no installation image found" not very helpful indeed :-)


Thanks guys for your inputs
