Troubleshooting:

If the Dual Boot Enabler is not installed and you attempt to go through with the installation, you may see a warning message similar to the one shown below in red, and the System Report will incorrectly identify the type of drive you are installing the system to (green).

Once the Dual Boot Enabler has been installed, when you reach the same stage of the Boot Camp Assistant's Windows install, no warning message is present and the Aura SSD will be correctly identified.
