bootcamp won't create partition - no error

Hi everyone! I have a MacBook Pro 13" early 2011. Recently I've changed my HDD for a SSD drive. I have the latest macOs High Sierra 10.13.3 and I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via BootCamp Assistant, but when I set the Windows partition size (100GB) it says "Status: Partitioning disc..." and it stays like this forever. It doesn't return any errors messages and it doesn't freezes the computer. Any ideas of what can I do? Thanks in advance for your help! (sorry for the bad English)

MacBook Pro (13-inch Early 2011), macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Dear Loner T.

I've been able to make work everything I've needed, but in a slightly different way.

I've formatted de SSD via internet recovery and reinstalled the Mac OS X Lion, wich was the option given to me. Then I've made the BootCamp Partition in BCA on Mac OS Lion, installed Windows 8.1 and upgraded to OS X El Capitan and than to High Sierra. Everything works now. I don't know exactly why.

There's something I can leave it here that may help another people?

Thank you so much for your patience and for your willingness to help on my issue.

Best regards!
