[QUOTEpost: 7437967, member: 183014"]Try using safari and following this guide:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb...dows-10-creators-update-on-mac-with-boot-camp

I just ran the assistant to create a new installer (since I already have bootcamp), it accepted the iso.

For the record, my download was the anniversary windows 10 (regular edition, not N or single language) with English International as my language.

It had the name: Win10_1607_EnglishInternational_x64.iso

By "Mount" I meant open the iso and it should appear as a disk in Finder.

Another thing to try is to just ignore the warning and continue if you can, it may just be standard warning and not an actual error (the partition resize is as expected, it's not an error).[/QUOTE]
i also have the same version of windows but not able to install it, further when i open the iso file(by double clicing its icon, it says"the following disk image couldn't be opened
REASON: image not recognized"(what is mount?)..

Could be your download is getting corrupted.

You should be able to open up the iso and have it appear like an actual disc.

Mounting is perfectly normal, for example, it's what you do every time you open a DMG file.

Here's something important that I'm not sure anybody else has said: older devices don't support newer versions of Windows. For example, my late 2011 MacBook Pro doesn't support Windows 10 (64-bit).
