How can I make a Windows 10 bootable USB on Ubuntu 22.04?

Question

I want to make a bootable USB with windows 10 on it, but when I select the .iso file, it doesn't show up on Startup Disk Creator. I even tried another .iso, file but it doesn't show up either.

So how can I make a Windows 10 bootable USB on Ubuntu 22.04?

You can use mkusb. See also this link to a question at AskUbuntu about the alternative tool woeusb. — sudodus, Jan 09 '23 at 21:00
Windows boot disk using mkusb-plug: https://askubuntu.com/a/1274975/43926. Or If your computer boots UEFI, you can just extract the Windows ISO to an 8GB NTFS partition, and UEFI will boot it, see: https://askubuntu.com/a/1337488/43926 I have never gotten WoeUSB to work for me. — C.S.Cameron, Jan 10 '23 at 04:55

There is a tool called Ventoy that can hold several ISO (basically as many as the USB can hold) at the same time and will show a menu where you pick an ISO. And all you need to do in the future is replace an ISO with a new ISO. Not really useful for 4 or 8Gb sticks but a 32Gb stick can hold 3, 4, 5 ISO and a 256Gb stick that cost about 30 euro/USB can hold 40+ ISOs.

The list of supported ISOs is very long and includes, besides Ubuntu/Debian, Redhat, SUSE, almost all spinoffs, also all Windows, and several ChromeOS. And then some. I have been using this for a couple of months now and can confirm Budgie 22.04, 22.10, Cinnamon 23.04, Kubuntu 23.04. Ubuntu Gnome 20.04, 20.10, 23.04, Windows 10 and Windpws 11 all work.
