How to create a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive

Open File Explorer and format USB flash drive to FAT32 file system.
Copy all files and folders from the mounted Windows 10 ISO file to USB flash drive.

- both UEFI and BIOS bootable USB

diskpart
list disk
select disk #
clean
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick
active
exit
Copy all files and folders from the mounted Windows 10 ISO file to USB flash drive.

- only BIOS bootable USB

These two statements, to my eyes, seem to do the same thing but you say they give differing results. What's missing between the two aside from the fact you marked a partition active in diskpart?

Hi mate, you've misunderstood Chappies instructions slightly that's all.......both UEFI and BIOS bootable USB refers to the diskpart method below in his instructions.
only Bios bootable USB refers to the instructions below that in his list and those are the diskpart instructions where the difference is an NTFS format which only works in a BIOS boot and not in a UEFI boot
