how to install windows 10 on imac mid 2011

Tried a different method (via Youtube Tutorials, I went through a lot of different ones). Gave up for a while and didn't attempt again until 2021. Left my iMac on overnight to see if it was just loading for a long time, but nothing changed. Stuck during the Windows Logo screen after the installation finished. Learned about Bootcamp and wanted to try to install Win10 and failed.

Once again, this is just MY EXPERIENCE of how I was able to install windows 10 on my mid-2011 iMac.

(Also, I didn't see any community rules for post rules so I hope this is ok).

(I was able to install Windows 8.1 with Bootcamp and I doaddress that below. I used Reddit and did a lot of research on my own to find a way to successfully install Windows 10 on my mid-2011 iMac.
