Installing Windows 10

I'm new to this, but I am trying to install Windows 10 to my Mac for the first time. In Paralells Wizard it's not identifying the .iso automatically. The file is called Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. When I drop the file on it states that it is Unable to Detect Operating System. If I continue anyway it looks like it is going to work with a Windows install and takes me to a blue screen where it wants me to input the Windows product key only to say it doesn't work when I just purchased it today.

Any ideas or tips where to start?
 
Well I figured out the 64 bit was the problem so I switched to the 32 bit and got it to recognize however now I am stuck on a blue screen with Windows setup. It says Select the operating system you want to install. Below that it says No Images Are Available.
 
Hi ShaneG2, make sure you have Windows 10 ISO is downloaded completely. Try disabling Express Installation and choose "Custom" in Parallels Desktop installation wizard and continue with the Windows installation manually.

PaulChris' solution worked for me. I had to do the custom install for mine to work as well.
