Alright I seen this post and read it Boot Camp Assistant 6.0.1 not installing Windows 10 ISO? Asks for USB? but I was wondering is it possible to do a new install of Windows 10 no upgrade through Bootcamp using a USB Jump Drive? The reason I ask is because the optical drive on my Macbook quit working out of nowhere.
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
I'm using BootCamp version 6.0.1.
On a Mac, you also need drivers to enable Apple hardware like Keyboard/Mouse. The plain ISO (on USB or DVD) will not work properly. It is safer to use BCA to install Windows. The year/model of the Mac is also a factor.

The year model of the Mac is mid 2009 and when it comes to a dvd/cd I can't use either because my cd/dvd drive(optical drive) quit working all it does is holds the disk for a little bit then ejects it.
Can you test your Optical drive with a commercial CD and DVD, both?
I've tried with a actual Windows 7 Ultimate OEM disk.
OEM disks are usually restore disks, and may not be honored by BCA.
It's not a restore disk it's for custom built builders to install Windows on their machines and others they may sell.
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, which you can generally think of this term as meaning "PC maker" or, more precisely in this case, "system builder." And given this, you may assume then that Windows 7 OEM packaging is thus off limits to you as an individual
Do you have regular commercial CDs/DVDs that you can check your Optical drive with?
None OEM nope my mom stole the disks that came with my Mac.
If you have a recordable DVD media, you can try one disk as a test.
I've tried that before and it does the same thing.
