Feb 3, 2016 7:56 AM in response to glendoy77by my ginger,You may need to explain what you have tried. Are using Windows 10 full install from a DVD or a download from Microsoft? Are you trying to install to a separate partition? You have in your utilities folder bootcamp,which is what can be used to install by following the instructions as you install.

Feb 3, 2016 12:41 PM in response to glendoy77by Loner T,Please start at How to install Windows using Boot Camp - Apple Support .
This should also help - https://help.apple.com/bootcamp/assistant/6.0/#/bcmp173b3bf2 .
Please ensure the W10 ISO you download is not corrupt. The M$ website is notorious and does not publish MD5/SHA1 checksums.
Apologies my ginger for jumping in.

Feb 3, 2016 8:43 PM in response to glendoy77by my ginger,If you downloaded the windows 10 ISO, you must know that the free version is for those who have windows 7 or 8. It will not install. You would have to buy and download it, or already have windows 7 or 8 to use the free version. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-10-Home/productID.31 9937100?VID=320028200&s_

Feb 4, 2016 10:05 AM in response to my gingerby lightweightNice,Hi @my ginger...I am having the same issue with the same macbook pro build. So was the solution you found to install Windows 7 or 8 then do an upgrade to windows 10? I tried to edit the info.plist doc in the utilities but it is locked down. Let me know if you ended up finding a solution. Thanks!

Feb 4, 2016 10:23 AM in response to lightweightNiceby my ginger,It's not me that is installing windows. It's glendoy77. The accepted way to do it is what Loner T posted. You would need a full install DVD or Flash Drive. Or at lest a full install ISO image to do so. If you only have a Macintosh operating system installed. BootCamp will make the necessary partition for windows. If you partition and install without BootCamp, you would need Parallels to run it.
