Q: "Installer disc not found' - Windows 10 Boot camp

I'm trying to boot camp windows 10 - I am running latest version of Yosemite.

 

I've downloaded the ISO and placed on to a USB, I've also installed the support software by following the steps in the bootcamp assistant

 

However, Boot Camp seems unable to detect my USB as a windows installer disc despite the ISO being on it

 

Help!

    if the usb stick is usb3 it will not work

     

    another reason why it may not work is that win10 is not supported yet in bootcamp

    You are not supposed put the ISO on USB. The ISO must be on your Mac. BCA will erase and reformat the USB and integrate the BC drivers and the ISO on to the USB.

     

    Please follow How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support .

    Hi Blake - I got the same message. It looks like the current version of Boot Camp Assistant doesn't do a good job of letting users turn the WIndows 10 ISO image into a USB stick.

     

    If you have access to a Windows machine download the free ISOtoUSB(dot)com utility and convert your Win10 ISO to a USB Flash Drive that you can then use to install Windows on your Mac.

     

    I posted my notes on Instructable if you search for "Windows 10 and USB Type C" (the steps are for the new MacBook that requires a USB Type C adapter to even plugin your USB stick).

     

    Microsoft also sells a USB 3 flash drive with Windows 10 and a product key which is the same price as just buying the key if you aren't doing the free Win 7/8 to 10 activation.
