Can't open Windows 10 after downloaded

Hello guys, I just finished after 4 days to download Windows 10 on my Mackbook pro mid 2012 with Bootcamp Assistant.

After couple attempts, I finished to finally download Windows 10 and then I was stocked on the part when mac reboot as windows.

After that reboot... a window pop up telling that I had to reboot the mac again because "Windows couldn't analize or treat the answer files without assistance step (specialize) [......]".

When I did reboot the mac again..... A new window pop up telling that because I rebooted the system it couldn't be finished something so "Please reboot again the system to continue"

And I ended with a reboot loop now...

Runing on: Macbook pro Mid 2012 (High Sierra 10.13.1) & Boot Camp assistant ( Version 6.1.0 (6067.20.4) )

Could please someone help me with this!??? For my nervous system and mental health PLEASE!!

I'll really appreciate Thank You in advance.

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.1), Mid 2012

I've continued and now It apparently delete the hole windows partition I only see my two internal drives as normal:

May I restart the hole BootCamp Assistant procedure as normal but now with the new 1607 ISO or what am I supposed to do now... Still confused why it deleted the Windows partition...

Can you boot into Internet Recovery or use Alt/Option key to boot macOS? If you are using the W10 Fall CU (1709) release on a 2012 Mac, you may run into issues. Please try and find the Anniversary (1607) ISO.

Yes I'am able to boot in mac with Alt/Option key.

Once I find this Anniversary ISO do I have to reset everything?

Meaning Delete de partition already done for Windows and just start all the hole process again?

I really appreciate your reply Loner you are the master as I see on this.

There is no need to delete the partition.

Your BC Assistant should have three options - Create, Download and Install. If you have used Create+Download to create a USB2 installer, you will need to rebuild the installer using the 1607 ISO.

Instead of using Install, insert the USB2 installer created using 1607, reboot and hold Alt/Option, choose the Windows icon from the Boot Manager, and choose the same partition that you already have created, and continue the process.

Ok i'm downloading it right now.

As I remember I checked all Create, Download and Install.

Now once I have the new 1607 ISO, The procedure will be to start BootCamp and then only check Install and follow then or which option should I check?

BC Assistant is designed to either erase a second full disk for Windows or partition a single-disk Mac for Windows. Do you have a back up of your old Windows files?

On your specific model, if you have two disks, you must install Windows on the disk in the main bay, and remove/physically disconnect the second disk till Windows installation is complete, otherwise the chosen disk is erased.
