Can´t update to boot camp assistant 6.0

Im trying to install windows 10 on my macbook pro (2014) using boot camp assistant 5.1.4, but when i choose the iso file it says its an incorrect windows iso-file. I found out that i needed Boot camp assistant 6.0 for it to work, but i cant find any update software. I live in Europe if thats relevant. So is it possible to get the 6.0 version or is there any other option for me to install windows 10 on my macbook?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), bought new in July. 2014

The ISO file and BC6 drivers are unrelated. The ISO file must be either 32-bit or 64-bit, but not both. BC Assistant 5.1 will download version 6 BC drivers.

The following Bootcamp.xml snippet came from a 5.1.4 BC Assistant on a 2012 13-in MBP.

<ProductManufacturer>Apple Inc.</ProductManufacturer>

<ProductVersion>6.0.6133</ProductVersion>

<ProductCode>{FCFFE6B6-BAE8-490E-88D0-097A9DA1C43D}</ProductCode>

The file structure will look similar to (ignore the 5.1.5621 and location of AppleSSD folder/directory).

The iso file is windows 10 64bit, but it says "Could not create bootable USB-station, Boot camp only supports windows 7 or later versions"

The 2.97GB ISO is a single 64-bit ISO. You also have a 32GB external disk. Is it a USB Flash disk or an SD Card? If it is USB, it needs to be a USB2 device.

The external disk is a SD Card, and I guess the iso is not the problem?

Please find a USB2 flash drive and try to run BCA and create your USB installer. SD Cards will not work, because Installer does not have SD Card drivers built-in. The SD Card drivers are installed when BC drivers are installed.
