I have been trying to create a win10 boot camp all day now (just upgraded to a SSD and want to create the partition right off the bat). I have used this iso to create a vm, which i still have so i donā€™t believe the problem is that. I have also tried using another iso with the exact same problem. I took some videos showing what Iā€™m experiencing but even after lots of editing to reduce size, theyā€™re still too large to post (each part is under 2 minutes šŸ˜)

Iā€™ll try to explain it best I can. Upon finishing boot camp assistant, the Mac tries to restart to allow the user to install windows. At this point my screen just goes black. It wonā€™t do anything and wonā€™t respond. The mouse serial lights up so I know itā€™s powered on. I tried turning up the brightness but this does not work. Nothing I try is effective. I have removed the partition and ran the assistant again and again. I have tried with multiple isos. No luck. Booting to the Windows partition using the option key upon startup brings me to that exact same black screen. Please help šŸ„ŗ

Iā€™m using a 2015 iMac 27-inch running Catalina 10.15.6. If anyone has any experience with this issue, I will be forever grateful.
