Boot Camp on Aura 4TB SSD

Greetings all

I am trying to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp Assistant on a Late 2013 Mac Pro with a 4TB SSD from OWC.

My OS is macOS 10.12.6.

When I try to click continue at the first prompt/screen in Boot Camp Assistant, I get the message shown in the image below. While I have seen posts with this issue happening on older systems that could not handle EFI boot, I am not sure why it is happening on my system which is supposed to be able to handle that.

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 4 TB OWC Aura SSD

If macOS is fully installed, create a backup using Time Machine (or a tool of your choice). Create the USB Installer using a USB2 flash drive of 8+GB. High Sierra has an issue with copying files larger than 2GB. Create a Free Space partition of 200GB, and use the USB installer to boot from and hold Alt/Option. Select EFI Boot from the USB and choose the 200GB partition as a destination. Let the Windows installer format it as necessary.

If you see any errors, please post back. A screen shot of the exact error message will be very helpful.
