Q: Bootcamp: Windows 10 USB Installation cannot find bootcamp partition
Hi,
I've deleted the old windows 10 partition, using bootcamp, to upgrade the space in itself.
I've run BootCamp again to installa windows 10 pro, as I had already installed on my iMac late 2012 21,5", and the assistant correctly install on an USB key my Windows 10 ISO and all support software downloaded from Apple.
After reboot start the Windows 10 setup until the selection of partition.
I, as the instruction says, select BOOTCAMP partition and Format. Then I click on Next but Windows says:
"I cannot create or find a partition..."
So I cannot install it... What happens? How can I solve this issue that never before appeared?
Thank you
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Disconnect all external storage, run the following two procedures and then connect only the USB Flash drive containing the W10 installer.
