Create a Win 10 bootable USB Drive with Ubuntu 18.04.2?

Finsfree · 04-30-2019, 11:54 AM

I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.2 Desktop.

What would be the easiest way to create a Windows 10 USB bootable drive?

Seems like the built-in "Startup Disk Creator" only works with other linux distros (Not Windows).

Thanks,

The recommended Windows utility to create a live Ubuntu bootable USB flash drive is rufus.

You have it backwards my friend. I want to create a bootable Windows 10 USB drive from a Ubuntu OS. Meaning I will be using Ubuntu as my OS to make a bootable Windows 10 USB drive.

Ok. I have no experience using the utility.

This did not work, so I'm back to square one.

Anymore suggestions?

use woeusb https://medium.com/@codechangethewor...x-501f92e346a5
If you get a file to large error run woeusb from terminal similar to this:

Code:

woeusb \
    --target-filesystem NTFS \
    --device Win10_x64.iso /dev/sdX

Thank you for the link, I will be creating a LiveUSB Win10 system using my Fedora 29 workstation this week to test some hardware issues I am having under Fedora.
