    Hi,

    you'll need to download the ISO for windows 10.

    Pretty sure this will give you an option if you are on Linux: Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

    Then, flash the ISO to a usb drive (at least 8GB) using a tool like etcher or popsicle.

    That should give you the same result as a drive created on windows.

    Regards,

    LightJack

    Hi UnvirsalX

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    There is no real way to successfully create a bootable Windows USB on a Linux system, most people find the resulting USB is corrupt.

    The only working option is to create the bootable USB on another working Windows device using the Media Creation Tool, that will format the USB drive correctly and automatically create the USB for you.

    did you try bootable ISO?

    Download Windows 10:microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10ISO?msclkid=739a0c2cb25c11eca1b2f8a5616d8f6a
