Hi, certainly because they just work hard with the new Apple 's material and they will in few month, when the microsoft W10 will be more stable and more use, edit the required iMac Mid 2011's drivers. I share with you my disappointment, owner of a 27".
Hope this will coming soon, but we never know with Apple...!

Use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
Assume you did it ?
The way is we have already W8.1 installed with BootCamp 5.1.5621 and the update is ready to go for W10...😟
Upgraded one of my iMac 2011 21.5" to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Needed to run the Bootcamp 5.x installer again to repair the install to get my keyboard keys to work. I also had an issue with the superdrive not being recognized. In addition, for some reason the updated drivers from Windows 10 for the graphics card (AMD 6750M) caused the computer to hang at a black screen with cursor during login. Needed to delete the updated drivers to get it working again. Hopefully they eventually update the bootcamp software to officially support the 2011 computers...I've heard that El Capitan includes bootcamp 6 on older computers.
Hello all,
Just to let you know that I was able to install windows 10 with a clean install form DVD in a iMac 21.5 mid 2011.
I have El Capitan and used BCA 6 to do the installation.
Everything its working like a charm.
Regarding the issue with Windows update trying to install AMD drivers just use this tool https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 to hide it and skip this driver from Windows updates
