So I'm in love with Ubuntu. It's fast, clean, and efficient. However there are certain things that I can't do that I used to love to do on my Windows 10. I tried creating a bootable USB using UnetBootin, however it failed to actually do anything, and killed my USB drive (Not that I'm mad, I got it specifically with the intention of reinstalling windows, so it was cheap). Now I need to reinstall Windows and I'm in dire need of assistance.

When I tried booting from my USB (before it died on me) it took me straight to the UnetBootin boot page (granted I had to hit F2). However there was no option to boot from USB, and the one thing that happened when I hit enter was that it would start the 'automatic boot' count down again. I let the count down run, and it just simply restarted again. I remember being smart enough when I was younger to dual boot (Back when I had Vista) but this time I just didn't (maybe because I thought I wouldn't want to go back?)

Anyway, I really really really need help.

You might retitle the question, since as it is, it has almost nothing to do with Ubuntu. The part that is Ubuntu related is how do you create a bootable media from the downloaded Windows 10 ISO. First, hashcheck the downloaded ISO. I found that ISO was not recognized as an ISO by much on the Ubuntu side, and even on a Windows 8 machine, the ISO fs was something like UDF and not handled by the usual Windows burn mechanism. I did succeed on Windows 8 by using Rufus to create a CD-ROM. You might try asking for a Rufus like program which will correctly handle the Win 10 ISO.
