When I partition windows my computer doesn't restart to windows installer. I can't open windows and continue the process. How can I fix this?

Once I install windows using Bootcamp my computer restarts, but it sends me back to the normal desktop, never redirecting me to the windows installer. I have followed all steps accordingly but did notice that when I want to choose a startup disk in system preferences there is no BOOTCAMP option.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

What year/model is the Mac? Are you using a DVD to install Windows or a USB?

It is a 2015 Mac Book Pro with Retina Display, the newest version. I am using a USB. I used an old macbook pro to create the iso file, then airdropped the file to my computer to then proceed with the steps from Bootcamp.
