I partitioned my main SSD for Win10. I have the ISO downloaded. What do I do next? When I go to Bootcamp, I see the following. However my partitioned disk is empty.

BC Assistant creates the partition. The manual creation is an exception to the rule, and is only necessary, if BCA fails to create it. Can you remove W10 and let it create the partition? If it fails, then we can diagnose the issue(s).

Yes, I manually created the partition just like you had posted a link on an earlier thread.
Exactly. I'm confused as to how BCA automatically recognises it as partition for Windows.
Could this be because I had previously Bootcamped earlier this year for about 2-3 weeks, then I used BCA to restore it and deleted all the related files?
Do you want me to do a screen record from the start? I can remove the current partition and go over the same process?
Hi
It started working after I restored the partition through BCA. I have no idea how that happened, as before, on doing the same, I would get the pop up telling me I need at least 42GB, even when I had 50GB free space. I had cleared up additional 20GB, maybe that's why it worked. I've no clue. Even on fulfilling the basic requirement of 42GB it didn't work. I guess there needs to be 10-20GB buffer from the minimum.
Thank you so much
Hi, Thank you for replying.
I let BCA restore it. I've repeated the process. Partitioned my SSD again.
However, BCA still shows the same.
Here it is
Let BCA Remove it and then start over again.
Can you post the output of
diskutil list
from macOS Terminal?
Was the W10 partition manually created/manipulated? BCA names the partition to be BOOTCAMP, not W10.
The Windows installer created by BCA on the internal disk - OSXRESERVED - requires 10GB free disk space.
Now I get it. I was having around 3-4GB of extra space.
Thanks again!
OSXRESERVED is removed, once Windows is fully installed, and that disk space goes back to macOS Container.
