Q: Error while trying to partition disk
I'm trying to bootcamp windows 10 onto my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro Retina running 10.11.5, the current updated version of El Capitan. 2.6Ghz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD. I checked the requirements for installing Windows 10 on a Mac, and there shouldn't be any issues. However, when I get to partitioning my disk, it says "Your disk could not be partitioned" and that an error occurred. I currently have a little over 300GB of free space, and only tried allocating around 100GB to be partitioned.
I've tried going into the disk utility to verify the disk- as per some community suggestions. Did that and nothing came up. Restarted my computer, just because why not. And even reinstalled OSX, and still nothing.
Any suggestions into fixing this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, as a side note. Not sure why this is or if it is at all relevant, but other screen shots of people using bootcamp show an image of their bootcamp assistant asking to install Windows 8 or later, and mine still says Windows 7. Not sure what that's all about, but thought I would point it out.
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
