If you use an older version of the 'Boot Camp Support Software' to install, you made need the set the Compatibility Mode. The correct version for your Mac can be found at the Apple web site ' Install Windows 7 and earlier on your Mac using Boot Camp'. If you can not, then download and use the 'Boot Camp Support Software' for Windows 7. When possible, you should use the Boot Camp Assistant to download the 'Boot Camp Support Software' to a flash drive. This takes longer to burn, but the DVD is reusable. I would recommend burning the iso file to a RW DVD. If you have a working optical drive, then this would make the best choice to install from. If you can, then your computer is one of the few exceptions.

While editing the ist file may allow you to create the USB Windows 10 installer, usually the same computer can not boot the installer from the USB drive. If apple does not official support your model Mac, you may still be able to install Windows 10.

See the Apple web site 'Use Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp' for details. If Apple officially supports Windows 10 on you Mac, then you should follow the instructions given by Apple.
