You can NTFS format the partition labeled BOOTCAMP by highlighting the partition, then selecting the Format button. The message below occurred because the partition labeled BOOTCAMP was not NTFS formatted. The message below occurred because you EFI booted from the flash drive. If you use the Mac Startup Manager, then you should choose the icon labeled Windows to BIOS boot from the flash drive. If you are not sure the Windows Support Software is for your Mac, then use the Boot Camp Assistant to download the files. For you model Mac, there should also be an AutoUnattend.xml file in the root folder of the ExFat formatted volume on the flash drive. If you do this correctly, then the $WinPEDriver$ and BootCamp folders should appear in the root folder of the ExFat formatted volume on the flash drive. Use the Finder application to copy the Window Support Software to the flash drive.Mount the Windows 10 ISO file and the use the Finder application to copy all the files to the flash drive.

Use Disk Utility to erase and ExFAT format the USB flash drive.If you have the Windows Support Software for your model Mac and a Windows 10 ISO file downloaded from Microsoft, then you can create a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive installer without using the Boot Camp Assistant. Please may you advise? Thanks very much!
