Can you download a trial version of VMWare Fusion, and use it to install Windows as a VM and test if it works? If it does, we can look at cloning solutions from Virtual disks to physical partitions.

the problem is that windows does not recognize my SSD that's why it goes into black , i found that every custom SSD different than other , to be sample that guy you posted said i installed windows 10 on macbook 12 inch with 128GB and mine is 256GB that's why!!

i know that after reading this guy story failing of installing linux on this macbook and having troubles because of this SSD

If you are not prompted to install a missing drive, you will have issues. For example see Re: No drivers were found . Do you see a screen similar to the one shown in this link?

Also, the AppleSSD.sys is an unsigned driver - Please see [urgent]get "appleSSD.sys" error when installing windows 7 through bootcamp .

You already have this driver on your USB as you have posted - Re: i can not install Windows via BootCamp on MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) .

So do you think it's Display driver? Because when the screen goes black kdyboard still on and mac on and I press and hold the power button a while to shut it down

Yes, the most likely culprit is the Intel GPU driver.

i called a big company here in kuwait to be sure can i install windows via bootcamp to macbook 12 or not and they said we can not install windows via bootcamp in el capitan because of missing driver??? and we can only install it if you have a yosemite ?? after that i formatted my hard drive and backed to yosemite to try again ..

i goes to bootcamp and cheeked 3 option then when it finished restarted with black screen as always !! are they using a modified bootcamp drivers ?? or its only some setting doing before installing or they using another display to install windows ? i don't know!!

Did you run a SMC and NVRAM Reset before you started the installation via Yosemite?
