I already have a bootcamp partition because I started to download windows 10, but when I launch boot camp and press continue it says " The startup disk cannot be partioned or restored to a single partition, etc.", my question is how can I proceed to download Windows?
MacBook Pro with Retina display
thanks for answer my question Loner T. When i go to disk utility and try to restore bootcamp it says " the restore process has failed. Because if i run BCA it doesnt appear an option that said remove or restore.

If you only see disk0s3, then
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and now run BC Assistant and try to Remove/Restore.

no, I didn't. I just do it and it worked, thanks so so much.
You are wasting 70GB of disk space, which will become unusable, if you install Windows in the current state.

Now i just proceed with the regular process to install windows 10 right?
I do not recommend it. 😉
Thank you so so much for everything. I study architecture and i have all i need on iOS, i just need windows for a few rendering programs so maybe i can use just the minimun storage for windows, the 40GB one.
Run
diskutil list
If you only see disk0s3, then
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and now run BC Assistant and try to Remove/Restore.
Once you have your full disk space back, then you can run BC Assistant again, and follow prompts to install Windows.

I can't do it because the "minus" button is desactivaded
it works! Now if i go to bootcamp assistant and press continue it says
"The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned." Its because of BC1, do i need to delete that BC1?
Run BC Assistant, click on Remove/Restore to remove the current partition, quit BCA, and then restart the BCA process steps again.
From macOS Terminal, post the output of
diskutil list
sorry to keep bothering you but i dont know how to post the output of disk utility disk, i know how to open Terminal but no how to post the output on terminal
i'm even trying another method, deleting the bootcamp partition and start all over again but id doesn't let me do that
Once in terminal, run
diskutil list
Select the screen contents, copy (Command+C) and paste (Command+V) as a reply.
Did you run this part...
If you only see disk0s3, then
diskutil eraseVolume fat32 BOOTCAMP disk0s3
and now run BC Assistant and try to Remove/Restore.
