Your Boot Camp Assistant is prompting you to remove Windows 7 or later version. If on your mac there is already a Boot Camp partition then you need to remove it first and then start the process again.


If you have Windows 7 on it, you might try to upgrade to windows 8: Boot Camp 5.1: Frequently asked questions about installing Windows 8 - Apple Support


There is also one more thing... Your Mac model has a built-in SuperDrive. I might be wrong but the option to create a bootable usb drive from Windows ISO file might be only available for 2012 models of Macs without a SuperDrive. In that case, you might have to Burn your Windows ISO and install it from DVD.
