[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1747445, member: 61193"] One thing that I find unclear: I am hoping to install Windows10 64-bit on a Mid-2012 MBP. The help pages indicate it is compatible. It said I need a copy of Windows on an ISO and a USB Drive of at least 16 GB and not USB3. Got those. However, when I selected the first option on Boot Camp Assistant, it used my USB Drive to make a bootable Windows USB drive instead of installing Windows directly from the ISO file on the Mac hard drive - so now I have no USB drive for the Windows Drivers. I thought the USB drive was to hold the drivers downloaded on the second stage in Boot Camp Assistant and that Windows would be installed directly from the ISO. The help pages imply that is the case. Did I select the wrong option at some stage during the first option? It hasn't partitioned the drive yet. Edit - the second stage suggests that the drivers get added to the same USB that has the installation files :) [/QUOTE]
