Yep something so simple has become a huge challenge. I have spent over 8 hours faffing about trying to create a Windows 10 USB Flash drive for a computer I have to do today and still no Windows 10 USB.
The main issue is I'm using Linux I have tried Unetbooting in Linux but there is no way to add the Windows 10 ISO. I tried Win32 disk imager and got errors. My Windows 10 download is the 32bit version.
I tried WoeUSB but Linux can't find the package or I get unable to install errors.
I tried Power ISO but I can't find my blank DVD's the file is 4 GB so will fit on a DVD.
I have two partitions on my hard drive one is a Windows 7 install that I use to play games on the other partition is Linux.
I tried copying the downloaded ISO file to my flash drive to transfer it to Windows but I get Unable to splice file too large error its an 8GB USB formatted to FAT32 I also re-formatted it in Windows to NTFS and tried doing the same again but it comes up with a different error this time.
I thought maybe I can connect to the internet in Windows 7 to download the Windows 10 ISO file seeing that I can't transfer the download from Linux... nope not possible either. None of my wifi adapters will work on Windows without drivers and my router is is too far away in the next room to run an Ethernet cable.
I'm tired I've had no sleep and I'm expected to sort out somebodies computer today which I'm going to have to tell them I can't do it because I have no Windows 10 install disk.
Can anybody help? I will keep trying in the mean time.
