I did also poke around and found this guide for installing it sans bootcamp fgimian.github io/blog/2016/03/12/installing-windows-10-on-a-mac-without-bootcamp. But, actually, it's really a guide to doing everything manually past downloading Bootcamp from Apple. I feel like you need to do this on your own, or an near identical machine.
