Okay, I created a 100GB FAT partition called "WINDOWS TEST". Thanks for checking to make sure my APFS and also getting me thinking! Only update left is the 1809 update that Windows is downloading, so we'll see how that goes. Then deleted the "install" partition, and everything seems good now! Not sure if the blue screens are fixed, but it may be. So after that, I did my install of Windows, installed all the support files, and then did driver updates (kept getting kernel security check error blue screens). I tried to make the partition exFAT instead, but mac OS won't mount exFAT (at least without more trouble than it was worth). I also had to go with the 1803 build, because one of the files for the 1809 build is 5GB, which exceeds FAT's 4GB limit. When I created each partition, I had to reboot the device, then create the next. So I created two FAT partitions, one for the install of Windows and the other to dump the contents of the installation ISO into, as well as the bootcamp Windows support files. Loner T, so your inquiry about creating my own partition got me thinking, and I was finally able to get everything working! After some trial and error, I found that a problem this system was having was creating TWO partitions and having them mount after.
Based on what has been asked of others in similar situations, I booted into single-user mode and ran the fsck_apfs -s -o -y /dev/rdisk1 in hopes that you see something that is wrong that I have no idea about. I genuinely have no idea what else to try. I've also tried the "twocanoes" solution to no avail. Once I open Bootcamp, select the ISO, allocate the partition space (100GB), and begin the process, after the tools are downloaded, I am immediately prompted with "An error occurred while copying the Windows installation files." Still trying to use build 1803 since many have said the newest one is problematic. I've tried so many of them and none of them will work. saying which ISOs worked and which didn't.
I've read so many threads here, on Reddit, Youtube videos, etc. That all said, the laptop is fully up-to-date on Mojave 10.14.2 with no pending updates. In order to have gotten the NVMe drive to natively work in the first place, I used an OEM Apple hard drive to update the laptop completely for all the firmware updates necessary, then installed the Samsung 970 Evo and reinstalled Mac OS. I bring that up because I don't know if that has anything to do with my woes here. I recently obtained a early-2015 Macbook Pro Retina 13", and I've upgraded the hard drive to a 500GB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe SSD via using the Sintech adapter that was created for this particular SSD proprietary connector. I haven't used a Mac in over 20 years, but am comfortable with working on computers on both the software and hardware front.
I'm sorry to sound like a broken record on these forums about Bootcamp not working, but I'm at the point of having no idea what to do.
