Q: windows 10 not loading
i'm trying to load windows 10 on a brand new Mac mini and i've had nothing but problems. ISO on a thumbdrive i downloaded right from microsoft (I have used this for other installations, mac and non-mac) plus i have a brand new DVD i have tried as well (albeit windows 8.1 pro)
its all 64 bit stuff
all "windows Pro"
it gets to the point where it switches from Mac OS to try to find the ISO's (spins up the dvd and everything)
and then comes up with a windows error (0xc0000185)
(it does see both he USB drive and the USB thumb drive on the OSX side)
i can't believe this is just me, but i guess if it can happen to anyone, why not me?
question : i have the brand new ISO on the DVD IN the player, and the thumb drive that has my mac "drivers" also has an ISO on it, could this be doing it?
I THINK i initially had the thumbdrive with BOTH the ISO and drivers on it and it didn't work so i tossed my dvd player on and tried it that way?
any suggestions as to what is wrong (or what I'm doing wrong?)

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), windows 10 and windows 8.1 64bit pr

If the ISO is downloaded over a wireless connection, block level corruption is not detected. If you post the name of the file you download, I can verify the MD5sum of the ISO to ensure there is no such corruption. If you can download the ISO over a wired connection, you will be better off.
