Fusion, cannot install Windows 10 from usb: operating system not found

[Rockdeveloper]

Hello,

I'm using WMvare Fusion 8.5.7.

I bought Windows 10 Home package with a USB stick. I have created the ISO image from the USB stick using disk utility on Mac.

When I try to create a new virtual machine, the "easy install" option is not available (I suppose meaning that the ISO image operating system is not recognized).

I countinue by manually chosing Windows 10 64 on the next page and trying to install. The message I receive is "operating system not found".

Any suggestion? Thanx

P.S.

Maybe the problem is that the ISO created is not Bootable? Is there a way to create a Bootable Windows ISO on Mac?

Hi,

This link here: Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple Support

says that you can simply download an iso file from Microsoft and then use your Windows 10 license key that came with the USB.

Thanx, I know about downloadable ISO from Microsoft. I got a retail usb Windows to avoid waiting hours downloading GB's on a slow connection:)

Anyway, I solved the issue by installing ImgBurn on another windows machine and created a bootable ISO.

"Easy Install" option in Fusion still doesn't not recognize the Windos OS but setting manual option it seems it's working. I'm now installing

Hi,

Ah yes, if your internet connection isn't the fastest then download a multi GB iso isn't much fun.

Glad to hear you got past the initial hurdle!
