Q: Unable to upgrade to Windows 10 in Boot Camp

Hardware:  2010 vintage Mac Pro 6 Core, 12MB RAM, 500 GB OS X SSD, 256 GB Bootcamp SSD, currently with WIndows 7 installed

OS:  Yosemite 10.10.4

Bootcamp Assistant:  5.1.4

Available Windows 10 sources:  USB install stick, DVD copy of same;  Burned disk of Win 10 ISO, Win 10 ISO file on desktop

 

Opening Boot Camp Assistant, I select "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version"  (already have latest Windows support software)

I then select "Erase disk and create a single partition for Windows."

I immediately get an error:  "The installer disk could not be found.  Insert your Windows installer disk and wait a few seconds for the disk to be recognized."

Doesn't matter what source is plugged into the computer.  It's a no go with the USB stick, a burned DVD of the USB stick and a burned disk of the WIndows 10 iso.

 

What am I doing wrong?  I'm following all of the documentation I can find online, but I don't even get the option to copy the ISO file to a USB stick.

As I understand things, at least one of my sources should be detectable by the Assistant.

 

Many thanks!
