Q: No bootable device.

After the partitioning is finished, my MacBook Pro restarts and comes to a black screen saying, "No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key."

I started by using the Windows 10 .iso I got from Microsoft's website and followed bootcamp's instructions from there.

Thank you in advance!

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

Are you using a USB2 flash drive to create the Windows Installer via BC Assistant?

No, I'm using a USB 3.0 flash drive.

Can you burn the ISO to a DVD-R SL? The 2012 Models with Optical drives support both USB and DVD installation of Windows. The USB3 may not be recognized for BC driver installation.
