[Help] Cant dual boot windows 10 and High Sierra, legacy Clover on BIOS

I have install successfully clover bootloader with this settings

my HW: ASUS p5p43td prom socket 775, q9400 gtx 760 4gb ram ssd 120gb intenso

Install Clover in ESP, bootaf mbr, clover for bios legacy booting (64-bit sata drivers), bios drivers 64; apfsloader, audiodxe, fsinject, grubntfs-64, smchelper-64 and xhcidxe-64 on uefi64 i left them default apfsloader, aptiomemoryfix-64, audiodxe-64, datahubdxe-64, fat-64, fsinject-64, partitiondxe-64, SMCHelper-64, VboxHfs-64

I made some changes in config as my HW is compatible with macos, I used FakeSMC, and ethernet kext and NULLcpupowermanagment and for graphics i left it without any bootargs and it worked as it is a nvidia gtx 760 and worked OOB. I run again clover after first boot the macos, and install again the same way as the flash drive. I copied kexts and config and my macos plays as charm

BUT im unable to create/ (i achieved that later) a proper usb. basically im confused cause in my main desktop is UEFI mobo and it was easy. but now as i know i had to boot the windows install drive through clover First problem was to bypass the 4gb install.wim thing but finally i find an old iso prox64 which is already 3.7gb so its okay. I try to write with rufus, gpt for uefi and fat32 And it shows up in clover but when selecting it and hit enter it stays on black screen It detects two efis from usb windows one bootcd, and one boot microsoft efi from efi the one it prompts to me to press a button to boot from cd/dvd as expected, but when i hit first time space for example just stops to counting dots as it waits and the second enter leads me to black screen without blinking cursor The second entry from usb windows it leads me to either disk read error, or couldn't read the disk something like that i dont remember

As im writing this i created again the usb with bootcamp, (and i had a question, why this says windows 7 or later, and in my desktop even with Sierra and not high sierra says windows 10 or later) same 14,2 imac config, anyway Now i will try to boot the completed from bootcamp Also bootcamp failed to download support files as it prompted to me that is not available right now from apple.

Thank you for you time, and im waiting for anything that can help me PS i didnt find anywhere some situation which can help me so i decided to write it from scratch.

As it finished bootcamp creation, i tried to boot again, and again on first option Boot Microsoft cdboot efi from WININSTALL leads me to the normal press any key to boot from cd/dvd and dots loading first space hit stop the dots. and stays here (left for 5 minutes) and second space hit leads to a quick cursor up left for miliseconds and instant black black screen the second option "boot WINDOWS from WININSTALL" leads me to this message" Booting windows created with bootcamp... booting windows created with bootcamp... There was an error reading the disk... There was an error reading the disk.." I am not sure about the syntax for the error reading but its likely correct. if it has big matter tell me to look it again.

so im out of ideas now.

I also tried as im writing this, to switch name to "cdboot.efi" in microsoft/boot/ from folder /boot/ that contains bootx64.efi. It appeared the WINDOWS flag. without loading bottom circle, after 2 minutes restarts..
