We use FAT32 in order to be bootable under all UEFI system.
Here is a method yielding a USB drive bootable both on a UEFI and non-UEFI machine. With this I could successfully boot the Windows 10 installer and do the install. The previous step created a small (<4G) wim-file which I copied into the sources directory of the UNetbootin created USB-Stick overwriting the broken install.wim (e.g. In my case I ran (see man wimexport): wimexport install.wim 1 home.wim -compress=LZX:100 With wiminfo you can list all included Windows types. Next use wimexport ( apt-get install wimtools) to extract and compress the Windows type needed from original install.wim. Or alternatively mount the Windows-ISO if you are a more advanced Linux user. Do not use the broken install.wim from the created USB-Stick !!). Now, use 7zip ( apt-get install p7zip) to extract the ISO (it is enough to extract the install.wim file. Unfortunately there will be no message, that it truncated the install.wim (in case it is larger than 4G).Īt least UNetbooin creates a bootable USB-Stick. Use UNetbootin to create an USB-Stick from the Windows ISO. This is the way under Linux (in my case Ubuntu Bionic). For all the poor Linux admins without a Windows computer like me, who need to help relatives installing Windows 10 (sigh).
