How can I make an installation USB for Windows 10 in elementary OS?

Question

I have no problem with making Linux Live USBs, but how do I make an installation USB for Windows in GNU/Linux?

WinUSB can do that. It is a bit buggy but it gets the job done.

If both these options don't work, you could install a Windows virtual machine and create the ISO from there. Microsoft profides free Windows VM ISO's for 90 days.

WinUSB is too old, it doesn't support Windows 10, it seems that virtual machine is my only choice.

To create windows live usb, you can use WinUSB. But WinUSB is a third-party software, we need to add PPA to install.

Also UNetBootin really can't be used to create Windows bootable usb sticks, always errors.

You can also create live usb using gnome-disk-utility

Install from Software center (search disks),

Or from terminal command: sudo apt-get install gnome-disk-utility

Instructions:

Open disks--> select respective usb,

Now click on More actions (double wheel shape) -->select Restore Disk Image --> navigate to .iso folder --> select .iso --> Start restoring

@JulianLai are you comfortable with CLI?

Yes, both of Gnome-Disk-Utility and winUSB, but I have found the solution, just make the disk become GPT partition, and move the file in the iso to my USB disk.
