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!
