Boot Camp Assistant Error

I have been online to check my Macbook Pro's compatibility with Windows 10 and in theory it should be compatible, after upgrading to El Capitan I expected that I would be able to install Windows 10 without having to bother with burning an iso into a usb drive etc... However it turns out when I start up Boot Camp Assistant it still gives me the box of [Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk]. Has anyone else encountered the same problem, can this be solved?

MBP Retina Early 2013

2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7

16Gb 1600 MHz DDR3

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3), 15 inch (Early 2013)

Please see Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support .

If you want to clean install W10, you use BC Assistant. This would mean building a new USB Installer on a 2013 Mac using a W10 ISO and BCA.

If you want to upgrade from W7/W8+ to W10, you run the Upgrade when booted in Windows using the Windows Upgrade icon in the System Tray, or using Media Creation tool to upgrade to W10.
