Disk cannot be partitioned Error

I am trying to install windows 10 to bootcamp in High Sierra. I did have in the past on this MacBook bootcamp running windows 7 but need to be on 10 now.

I have tried everything and read so many of these posts. Ran first aid, did the safe mode, even did a clean install of High Sierra and still getting disk cannot be partitioned Error. Below is my diskutil list and diskutil cs list.


Any direction on what I am missing would be greatly appreciated.

So it did take me 2 tries to get Sierra on the PC. I was then successfully able to get windows installed on BC. I have to work on seeing if I can access TM and get account settings for programs, etc. I did actually make copies on separate HD if it doesn't work.


I am happy it is finally working and appreciate you patience working with me. Not sure if I am stuck on Sierra now but happy to be here for the moment.
