Window 10 64 bit installation using bootcamp assistant

Hi, I'm in the process of installing Windows 10 64 bit on my new macbook pro 2017 running the newest OS, by using bootcamp assistant. I have a 1T drive on my macbook and I allocated about 80 Go or less to windows, I choose the default that was shown on the installation window. I only need it for my accounting software. I answered the questions from bootcamp assistant and it asked if I wanted to use the time machine backup it saw on my network and I said no. So it started to work, my screen has been black for at least 4 hours or more with a little wheel that is turning. I'm starting to wonder if it hasn't actually frooze. Can anyone tell me if it is normal that it should take this long? I know there is also another step to the installation according to the TouTube video I watched on 9to5mac. If you think it has frozen, do I just force quit the macbook pro? Thank you.

Hello Loner T, no it was a white wheel on a black background. Finally, once I force quit my Macbook Pro, it restarted in Windows and I was able to continue with a successful installation. I have no clue as to why it froze on me. I'm thinking that maybe there was a question to answer on screen and since I was not in front of the screen to answer it, it went to sleep. However, everything seems to be working fine. Thank you for your help.
