Windows 10 install using bootcamp assistant on MacBook Pro 2020

1) I created Windows-10 ISO image on USB flash drive from Microsoft website using their download tool on a Windows-10 Pro machine running 64 bit Windows. When I insert it in Mac in Bootcamp Assistant says "Remove External Storage" and won't proceed unless this is done. So I disconnected USB flash drive and continued.

2) On next screen Bootcamp Assistant asks for ISO image and partition info. I connected the USB flash drive that has the Windows-10 ISO image files. What's the folder / filename to be selected for ISO image? Whichever one I select, Bootcamp Assistant gives me a dialog box saying "Need 64 bit Windows 10 or later ...". What is this? I can't proceed with disk partitioning and Windows-10 setup. How do I proceed?

Resolved by:

1) creating ISO file on PC C drive rather than USB flash drive;

2) formatting a SDHC card on PC with exFat;

3) copying ISO file fromPC C drive to SDHC card formatted above;

4) use SDHC card with Windows ISO file in MacBook Pro with USB-C adapter in Bootcamp Assistant

5) select partition size

Installation succeeded!

Excellent! Typically the ISO is directly downloaded from Microsoft and can be in any folder on the Mac, except Downloads.
