Faced both widely reported problems -
- iso file not recognized by BC Asst.
- BC Asst. gets stuck copying files
Here's what I found and successfully installed Win 10 on MB Pro early 2015
- Forget the iso from MS website
- instead make the USB installation media from MS website
- Use Disk Utils in Mac to create image .cdr from the USB installation media and rename to .iso. This iso file will be recognized by BC Asst.
- Use BC step 1 to create bootable USB stick. When it gets stuck, wait for about half an hour and stop the process.
- Now compare the contents of the iso file and the USB stick. If same, fine, use the stick to install Windows using steps 2 & 3 of BC Asst.. If they are not the same, never mind. BC Asst. has already made the stick bootable. Just manually copy all the files from the iso to the stick and proceed for installation with steps 2 & 3 of BC Asst.
- Once the 2 problems are overcome, installation is a breeze using BC Asst. steps 2 & 3.
Spent many frustrating hours. Wonder why Apple is not doing anything to sort out these obvious issues with BC Asst. I'm sure they can sell lot more Macs if Windows can be easily installed.
Hope this helps everyone else with the same issues........
Windows 10 runs like a champ on my MB Pro. Lightning fast. Very fast bootup. Edge browser is a treat to use........ MS has a winner here for sure.
