    In "option 5", which I always use, when the UFD is formatted with FAT32, it is also "converted" to MBR. I suppose the same happens in Option 4, and therefore the "convert mbr" command is not needed [I havenīt tried].

    Option 4 Manually create Bootable Windows 10 USB for Legacy BIOS and UEFI in Command Prompt - you have converted the usb to mbr... but can the UEFI recognize an mbr usb ?? I read that gpt is for uefi and mbr for legacy bios

    Hello SanAndreas, and welcome to Ten Forums.

    MBR was used for a universal boot. It's recognized by both at boot.

    Is it necessary to use command prompt or can I just go to This pc-right click on USB-format?

    You would want to use the commands to create it since formatting alone would not make it bootable.

    I'm not sure what you mean from what I posted?

    The commands in option 4 doesn't just format the USB. It also makes the USB bootable.

    Right click - format only formats the USB, but it will not be bootable.
