    You misunderstand it.

    The iso may be greater than 4GB, but none of the individual files in the iso is as large as 4GB. You have to extract the files from iso onto usb stick, not just put iso on usb stick.

    Maximum partition size on fat32 formatted from windows is 32GB.

    You do not need to disable secure boot.

    I need it to be FAT32, support UEFI, and somehow be able to use the extracted files from ISO's rather than copying over the ISO's themselves.

    Why? well, because unfortunately, the Windows 10 with Update 64-bit iso is over 4 gigs, and can't be put onto a FAT32 drive. But as far as I know, UEFI can only boot x64 windows 10 from FAT32.

    I've not had a problem using the MCT/Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB drive of 8GB [or larger] which gets formatted/reformatted to FAT32 losing everything on the drive. I keep both 32-bit and 64-bit versions on hand, can even use File Explorer to open the USB drive then double-click the setup.exe file to start the install. The install that way has been an Upgrade over the previous Version for me [did 2 that way already this week, Version 1607 up to 1703] while booting to the USB drive should allow a clean install.

    I really, really hate to post this.....and I hate recommending it.....but I would suggest you use Rufus to make your USB flash drive from the ISO file, it's probably the better choice for you:

    Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way

    Once you select your Windows ISO file to create the USB flash drive from, make sure and go back and change the file system to FAT32 and target system type to MBR for UEFI - that's where a lot of people get screwed up using Rufus.

    I told you - you have to extract the files from the iso, not put iso on flash drive as an iso.
