Q: Already have a bootable Windows 10 USB, can I use it with Bootcamp?

Already have a bootable Windows 10 USB. I converted it into an ISO file using a Apple Guide. Bootcamp says:

Also, on Bootcamp it shows Windows 7 or later instead of Windows 8 or later.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

1. Please ensure your USB installer is not a mixed 32-bit/64-bit Installer. If it is larger than 4GB, than it is a mixed installer.
2. Please download a 64-bit ISO from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/home for your desired Windows version. You may need your product key for Windows 7.

For Windows 10, the MD5sum values are

openssl md5 Win10_1511_English_x64.iso
MD5(Win10_1511_English_x64.iso)= a0d4271b7537732a060909fd39d54829

openssl md5 Win10_English_x64.iso
MD5(Win10_English_x64.iso)= 23e397a21a9e01f141c64b7e1260314a

It was a mixed one. Let me try again. Btw, although my Bootcamp is 6.0.0, it is written Windows 7 on the options screen instead of Windows 8. Why?

If you Mac is listed in Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support, you can install W7.

Can you run the following two procedures and test BCA?

Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Do you have two versions of OSX on your storage?

I didn't reset the NVRAM or the SMC yet, but I remember installing the Windows 10 technical preview on my Mac before.
