Is there a way to NOT use this? I have a 2015 rMBP 15-inch and it fails EVERYTIME I try to download Windows Support Software. I already have a USB drive with Win 10 and drivers but Bootcamp 6 doesn't give me an option to use a USB drive. It insists on using the ISO only.
Got a tip for us?

Persistence paid off. After trying it umpteen times, it finally downloaded the support software.
You know its funny, I had no idea of this. I ran the bootcamp assistant and it was doing its thing, I noticed that I didn't have a USB thumb drive plugged in, so I plugged one in. That very moment my computer rebooted - I thought it crashed. It started installed windows and I'm like whoa, I didn't do that.
