Windows Boot Camp Installer Stuck

Just got a new OWC Aura SSD for my Early 2015 Macbook Pro. Tried to install Windows 10 onto it as a Boot Camp partition but not working. Heres the go; Gone into microsoft store to download the ISO. Gone then into Boot Camp Assistant, I select my freshly downloaded x64 ISO, it partitions the SSD, restarts the computer, I go into setup, and the installer is stuck at Getting Files Ready For Installation (4%). What could this be? Thanks!

Hi all! I found out what the problem was with the Aura SSD. I had firmware version P0226A, which is causing problems with Windows. Below is word for word response from OWC/MacSales:

It was recently discovered that some Aura PCIe SSDs for Mid-2013+ MacBook Pro and MacBook Air have a firmware issue which causes the Windows installation process within Boot Camp to hang. This is not related to the Dual Boot Enabler application.




We are working on a solution for the drives that do have the P0226A firmware. When the update is available we will let you know.

So guys, when I know of this firmware update, I'll post it up for you!
